It's a great idea, but I'm not sure how possible it would be...or practical for that matter. I'm not bashing you, by the way, I'm just saying I don't know if it's possible.
P.S. What MUD's do you code for/play, i'd love to play a mud of your's some time. |
heehe my name is nima :P. Anyway edge, on a place like everquest banning would be harsh, depending on what bug your abusing and if its tiny (like gaining some little tiny amount of money) and your char was a high level a simple deleting the char as punishment would work wonders, banning would just gain the persons rebellion in them and cause unwanted things to happen.. which can include with some of the hardcores DoS and annoyance e-mails, etc. It also gives admins a bad name when they use the ban button too frequently (and it also gives you a stigma as those people in question will say "oh you wont like so and so. They LOVE to abuse banning people). There is always going to be bugs, but without people finding those bugs how would you fix them? Banning won't really help things. If you bring yourself across as a no-nonsense person some people would possibly be scared to even report the bugs (fear of being banned). If your character just gets deleted at least you have the chance to still play and it can cause a great deal of embarassment to the person involved (it also works as a warning, next time: REPORT THE BUG OR BE BANNED). It makes you angry but from a logical point of view you don't run a mmorpg business that way (i know this is free but im pointing it out).
Anyway to answer your question Vermea. The shell we had got taken down and we aren't thinking of asking for it back. Me and my bf are thinking about going into the MMORPG business. We coded Savage Wars: Utopia and Cordia Legends. Mostly Pure PK and custom codes
