Removal of the Mag Meadow Reward Barrel

[Thane ir'Wyndan]

For anyone who was curious, the reason the barrel was removed is because someone apparently can't follow some basic guidelines with it.  We have asked and stated repeatedly to NOT use any of the dump or move commands with it and people still weren't listening.  Until a few simple requests can be honored it has been removed.

I honestly think I am going to talk to a scriptor about making us up something that when a player uses the dump command on the trash barrel they will automatically be exploded.  This might be a better training tool that little signs.

Its very sad when a few people mess up a good thing for the whole shard. Come on folks please take the time read the forums and shard webpage for do's and dont's.

Personally I think we ought to find out who did it and string him/her by their toes.

I normally don't use the barrel except for the odds and ends the buy-all guy won't buy. hehe  But, it is a most necessary and convenient part of the world in which we all enjoy.  The person or persons who are responsible for it's removal know who they are.        BUT - I do like the idea of the immediate exploding!

I think they should be put in a dungeon jail with rabid mongbats and imps that repeatedly rez kill them for 24 game hours!

Maybe if their game play is affected, they'll see the impact of their actions up close and personal!

We all want to keep the world beautiful so following simple rules should be easy right?


Maybe we should put them in a room with Acacia's bunnies or Alaric's little buddies.  *giggles*

Hmmm... I think you are onto something there Serenity.  Maybe a room FULL of both.   muahahahahaha

[Serenity]

Oooh, Very nice idea indeed.  Can ya make it happen Gael ?  Pretty please.  *giggles*

Now if it was a new person we shouldn't be held responsible! *nods firmly* Cause new people obviously don't know when to read >.> and if it's someone regular from the shard..I say we stick them in jail with a bunch of Acacia's bunnies to play with

[Thane ir'Wyndan]

New or not, we have a big yellow sign there, we have rules posted in the forums.  If people actually did what they were, ya know, supposed to than things would run easier.

I noticed sometimes, and I am not sure this is for everyone, but at times I cannot read those signs. 0.o I can hover my mouse and/or click and it just says 'brass sign' 0.O;

[Admin Acacia]

That is a sort of graphics lag.  Happens to me all the time... constantly.  You get to an area, it takes a few seconds, sometimes even longer, for it all to catch up with you so you can read some of that stuff.

Anyways, we'll probably replace the trash barrel soon.... till the next person [dumps in it.  I'm sure that won't be long.

Maybe instead of the brass sign or in addition to it you could add a spawner of one of your bunnies that kinda hangs out by the barrel and give it a name like "Acacia's bunny, don't [dump in trashcan or I'll eatcha!"  Or something similiar to that nature. With the unusual name people won't have to rely on mousing over a sign to get the hint.

Another suggestion could be that the spawner would kinda be like a town crier and spew off a message every so often, or when they get into the vicinity of the barrel (kinda like the shackled skeleton) it would announce not to use the [dump command. And if you don't want to use a bunny maybe use a green horde minion or something and name him Oscar the Grouch lol!

Or just have the barrel say it XD
