Alright, I've been playing this server for a little over a week now since my return to Tribes. I played the rpg a couple years ago on a server that went down unexpectedly for reasons still unknown to me.  Before the fall of the server, I was the highest non-admin character they had. Losing that character hurt a lot, and I even left trpg. A clear now would not hurt me much, as I'm only a RL 1.  But, the idea of a mass p-wipe doesn't give a good perspective of the server.  A newbie or even just a lowbie might see that if there's a problem, the owner(s) just erase everything and start over (seeing how it has already happened once) and may decide that it's not worth the time and effort of making a good character.  I'm an ex-mudder, and I've left my fair share of muds because the only solutions admins could come up with was mass punishment/clearing.

Granted, lord knows how many times I've had my boots and weapon mugged by level 174+ people with nothing better to do since they don't bother remorting anymore. Putting everyone on a level playing field is a good idea in theory, but so is communism (which doesn't work out so well in practice). I realise that some (if not many) players got high and higher illegally, but isn't there a way to detect that? The high levels that took their sweet time probably did it squarely. The ones who shot up in days or weeks either have sleep problems (guilty) or got there through ill means.

Either way I'll stick with the server because from what I've seen, there are very few stable servers that can hold (or even need to hold, for that matter) so many people. I've haven't seen any other trpg server full since my return to trpg, and this is one of the larger ones.

My angle on this, is that a server clear would be great , but im not all for it. It sucks, but it appears its the best solution to the problem at hand.

However, what i think alot of people are missing is that this won't be a repeat of last clear -> now. I'm trying to push for a dev team, people that can code in rules into the game, so the admins don't have to enforce so many of them, for example, make it so mugging has a timed flag, much liked bashing, or spells. So you can only mug every few minutes, also it is possible, to have the server keep track of how many times you've mugged and have a timer that disables #mug or steal on a player who has outdone their allowed mug limit. Additionally people who have reached their pk limit in a time limit will find their weapons /spells doing no damage to their targets.

To not clear would be to patch up lots of problems and hope they work out. A new start would allow us to implement improvements, bit by bit, to make it so this doesnt happen again. I think if more people were providing input as to how to make gameplay better, their new char may experience a much more fun game.

Also the less adminning that needs to be done, the more time we have for quests and coding, and the more time we have for that, the more variety players will have in gameplay.

btw razore, if you feel the need for a grappling hook, {-o-} Plasmatic already coded one in his Tribes Vengeance for Tribes 1 mod. Just look for Vengeance under server types.

So If and when the server is cleared i will not be comming back.
To be honnest every time i get to RL 240 some one comes on a decides to post a poll about a clear characters. And im not doing it again
i stuck with it the last time because i thought i could reach me goal ie: RL 777   but by the looks of things thats not going to happen AGAIN.

But there again i havent seen any conformation about this clear and to be honnest all that needs to be done is a clear bank because all that people are moaning about is the exessive coins.

And then may be i can get on with my lvling. :lol:
