Trials and classic playerworlds...

konidias · #1 09-19-2004, 05:28 AM

Here's an interesting question...

Are classic playerworld required to allow trials to play on their server?

I'm asking because I was thinking... what if the playerworld owner doesn't like letting trials run around? Are there any requirements that a playerworld has to follow to cater to trials?

For example, could you make it so when a trial logs on, it warps them to a level where baddies kill them constantly while saying "UPGRADE YOUR ACCOUNT! ROAR!" or something? I think most of the playerworlds hate having to deal with all the hackers that use countless trial accounts to keep evading bans... I was just wondering if Stefan/Unixmad wouldn't take too kindly to a playerworld "mistreating" trials.

Can trials be totally disabled on a classic playerworld?

I don't think you can totally disable them. I've scripted ways to immediatly send them to another server though.

I think this has to be in control npc but there is a if (accounttrial) { or something. if false, its upgraded (classic, gold, vip), if true, its a trial account.

I think it's "if (playeristrial)"

this would certianly come in handy if you could disable trials.. I hate the idea of free loaders running around doing the usual stupid stuff ruining the fun of paying customers.

Well there's ghost mode you can enable/disable in the server options... But like... What about just kicking them or letting them on player but um... torturing them? hahah.

That actually would be solved with a script. I will make sure to work on it later, hehe.

I think it should be like: All servers are p2p restricted exept UN...if we take the trials away from UN it would be world's lamest server....
What also would be fun is to stuff them all in one level with a mini-game or something....swords and items disabled cus there trial and ONE p2p rages trough with a level 20 sword and gets +1000 kills XD

I see no big deal with trials, except the ones who get mega accounts to use trainers.
Maybe they could be limited even more by only allowing them to play on weekends such as Kingdoms is for non-gold members.

I disagree with abusing trials, such as having them warped to a level where they will be pk'ed to death...that wont get people to upgrade, and will only piss them off.

It isn't fair to mistreat all trials because of the trainer users

Whats the point of disabling trials? The whole point is that you accomodate them to a certain degree, so That they get addicted enough to want to upgrade, and are restricted enough so that they can't continue to freeload. That works well for everyone.

Slash-P2P · #14 09-19-2004, 05:01 PM

How about you make the training a little bit more like online graal, and totally kick trials off everywhere?

that sounds good
