30 minutes.

I often stand still for 30 minutes when I'm scripting and I don't like getting disconnected for it. I would like if staff were immune to this.

Ditto. I often forget to move my player and it's annoying getting disconnected in the middle of testing scripts that don't involve movement.

Should probably only be for development staff, in that case.

It's all possible without any effort as well, since it can easily be achieved via mass messaging and the existing simple trade system.

I can tell you now that I personally won't be enforcing that rule. My staff shouldn't be disallowed from doing something so basic simply because they want to help develop the server.

If you're being contrary for the sake of being contrary then **** off.
But if you honestly support staff messages overriding the disable mass messages option when staff are off tag then state your reasons for supporting it.

Sorry for swearing in my previous post. I just get so annoyed that we're the content creators for this game and the administration doesn't seem to give a crap about us.
We're using outdated tools (level editor, gani editor).
Certain scripting functions are limited to the gold servers (gmap zoom, etc).
And now this stupid rule being created instead of just fixing the damn problem.

I agree, especially people developing for gold or classic servers. They could maybe give classic/gold server managers 300 gelats a month or so, and have them split it up between the developers. The PWA would have to make sure this is done fairly.

Thread has completely degenerated into numerous tangents.

I'll make a new thread once I have separated "duties" and "rules" into different documents.

For the record, these rules are here and now. This thread is not to debate "how the client should be" or "why can't we just fix ___".

These rules will change if and when the client changes, but those arguments about the graal system need to be separate threads.
