Questions

Hey, I just want a straight answer to these.
1)Why must we have a different movement/hit detection?
2)Why are we keeping levels that look new, not classic?
3)Why don't globals check out the server to see whats going on with it?
4)Can we have these guild gates removed?

Oh and we need a new Manager :/ Storm either you need to step up and do something already, or you could just continue being inactive and useless....

1) Normal movement / hit detection won't work anymore. Or at least, you can't trust it for things like arrows on a gmap, etc. - in which case you can't really use it. (I suppose a True Minimalist would claim you could just script a system to hitplayer based off the direction of the projectile...)
2) Inevitability. In a perfect world they'd make a Classic that was a straight translation before Improving it, but LATers are inheritly impatient - that's why we edit the levels in the first place - so we tend to Improve and Innovate before it even gets posted.
3) What Globals?
4) That's a request, not a question. The answer to the question is of course, the answer to the request might be No you may not.

Okay thanks for answering

Looks like Tyhm should still be in charge of this circus.

Hey, you know, speaking of projectiles, my bow NPCW has been "broke" since mid-last year, I think I was amongst the first to encounter the problem, and then quite a few others followed suit.

As for guild gates, hell, we should just remove it all. The "system" is obviously a monumental failure. Turn it back into open areas. I would say scrap the levels that go with it too, but US for one has a nice set-up last I checked their area.

I guess we'll have to bribe him to come back. I wonder if he'll accept crackers and cheese? It is all I have.

Yeah, my bow randomly decides it'll hurt someone (including myself). If you fire a projectile around another NPC, you can hurt yourself (this includes throwing objects, I believe they use a similiar system).

Yeah, the idea had potential, but it didn't turn out right. Maybe if Massokre finished the alliance system it could have been salvaged, or if he listened to the people originally behind the project.

The NBK guildhouse will be improved eventually.
