PvP Aside...why I hate ghosting.

BobDobbs, will you please shut the hell up?

Opinions were not introduced until late '01.... therefore, not era accurate. Idiot.

Only difference i can rememer is that you had to run a macro on OSI to stay in game or you would log out, so you would have to have your ghost say something once every 5 minutes... Here you can sit in one spot all day long and never say or do anything.

Hmm, I seem to remember this too (the part about being auto-logged). I might have to go in search of proof in order for us to become more "era accurate".

This right here. However I do not think you had to actually 'say' something; I am fairly certain if the ghost(s) try to use a skill repeatedly, they still remain active, and will not be "auto-logged". Research could definitely be done to curtail this discussion once and for all... hopefully. Good luck!

That is correct.. i didnt mean it to like that.. I meant that in order to not be auto-logged you had to do something, anything, at all to not be logged. The easiest was always a macro that said something.

I also felt if a GM would ever see me, that if they checked the log and saw "you are dead and cannot do that" message over and over again it would not be good.

"you are dead cannot do that.." is a client-side message

"you are dead cannot do that.." is a client-side message

These are things that i didnt know back in 97 i just assumed GM were all powerful, and could see everything i saw and more..

Requiring a ghost to be in war mode to see players is a pretty reasonable compromise to the issue in my opinion. That I think still falls under the ideological goals of the shard.

This would not be an era accurate mechanic and simply won't happen, only a rule change will suffice.

This has been discussed many times over in the past already.

I will quote Matron is regards to Era Accuracy...

GK's reasoning..

Besides, if derrick spawns a ton of em, it'd be era inaccurate and a ton of people riding purple horses everywhere would go against the non divinity look he is going for. Same reasoning for all the NO answers i got when trying to pick my unique rewards from trophy points a while back. Can't have anything that makes us look bad.

i have usenet posts which prove opinions are era accurate

[chumbucket]

I can pretty much guarantee you that someone would camp a ghost at each location for no other reason than spite as there is no era accurate mechanic to transport them elsewhere.

That would be me.
