Chat text issue
 

So my server is running fine, but I notice that chat (Seemingly any channel) will often garble some of the words with random letters (upper or lower) even if you type them correctly. This happens to all users that I can tell. Applies to links as well (they are still clickable and work however). Anyone seen this or have any ideas how to fix?

Guessing you made an iksar and your common tongue is not maxed... Just make a quest on an NPC or in the global_player.pl that maxes out common tongue for people.


Inside global_player.pl this is what I do :)

I have only across this issue once and can not think of anything server-side that would affect it. I would send tells to a friend and parts would get garbled up, different from the language skill garbling. My friend was running UF.

This works, or you can ajust the starting skills table.

Or players can raise skills the old fashion way. Shocking I know.

God man! And make them /work/ for something? There would be a riot .. or complaining like we have recently seen.

Saves a dev a headache from people going... "Is this an English server?"

(Yes I've seen more than 1 person ask that)

I like making people cry and I like to weed out the dumb WoW kiddies.
Slightly higher then stock exp rate, aka slow as dirt. No older clients supported. No skill starts higher then 1 and no player sticks around longer then a few days.
Just the way I like to test, without people bugging me ;)

haha Well that may be it, hadn't even thought that by default some may not understand common 100%. Thanks for the feedback, will double-check to see if that's the root cause.
