Some people seem hellbent on creating controversy.

Okay, that is awesome for you. You knew who to talk to. I don't know 90% or more of the people in there. The ones I do know, I have probably already asked if I'm asking in main chat.

So, now asking a question in main chat and expecting, oh, i don't know, an ANSWER, is creating controversy? How do you reach that conclusion, exactly? And, what is main chat for if its wrong to ask questions there? Please inform me.

I was in the channel all weekend. I saw lots of UO related questions, every one I saw asked was answered despite the non-UO related chat and despite the complaining about the non-UO related chat.

I think y'all are inventing things to complain about. You're free to disagree

Their are new players out there that have never played before.
the have no idea how IRC works (they just follow the link)

if we intend for this server to grow, we need to be more accomodating to these and all other Players seeking information!

We are.

I think the problem is that you want the IRC channel to be used for nothing but that, and if it were, there would be no one there to help new players in the first place.

Stop acting like a clueless sheep. You're annoying. If you truly were a respectful noob, you wouldn't be here whining like you are. So I'll just consider you a noob. If you have a question, or a hundred questions PM me if you want, I'll answer them when I can...and if I'm watching the channel I'll answer what I feel confident in answering. Just because you don't get an answer....No, not playing the game, NOT doing it.

Okay, how is it that in every thread where I am simply contributing to the conversation, I become the bad guy. Not the OP and not the 1st person to make the same point that I am simply building upon. Really? I am almost positive that this was actually a post MONTHS ago, am I wrong? then DW and Braden talked a bit. Hmm. Looks that way to me. Why aren't you yelling at DW or Braden?

And yes, I guess I would still be a noob. I have been playing UO for less than a year, so compared to a seasoned vet like yourself, I would be a noob.

And the way you are responding to me, you really think I wanna ask you questions when I need help? I guess if thats the only way to get help in main chat, which is what you seem to be saying, then I will do it. I simply thought that we were allowed to ask questions in main chat. I am sorry for the misunderstanding.

You STILL don't understand, do you?

Where did I say this was the ONLY way to get help? Where did I say this was the ONLY possibility?

I'm not making you into a bad guy, I'm not telling you to do anything, the problem is YOU are jumping to outrageous conclusions about things that are super simple. Again, I challenge you to read through the wiki, and if you still haven't found your answer PM someone or ask in chat a few times. If you have to ask 5 times, but you still get an answer that's not game ending. It's not something that should deter you from the shard, or ruin your experience. IRC is there for the convenience of us all, and when it's ruined by idiots, again not calling YOU an idiot, these trivial rules are put into place. Then we have folks that come in and read these rules and act like it's now the JOB of everyone in IRC to serve them. That's what I feel like you're saying. Try playing the game, try figuring it out, making some friends, interacting with the player base, not idling in IRC worrying about the rules and who is going to answer your question before an off topic conversation starts. That's how I did it two years ago. That's how they did it back in the day.

Also I just paged up the IRC log from the last hour...like 6 questions have been asked/answered.

So for tall those whining, kindly STFU.

Who is jumping to conclusions? I read the wiki, ask my friends, ask other people, then go to main chat. I never implied that it was "game ending" as you say. I have said multiple times in various threads that I like this shard, and I don't plan on leaving. Why would you think that I would leave because I have a question?

I never said anything about enforcing rules. DarkWing and Braden are talking about rules, I was relaying my experience. And I DO usually end up figuring it out on my own. But I was simply stating that it is difficult to get questions answered.

But your last post is not making me feel any less singled out. How about this: Next post, reply to DarkWing's post, as he is the OP. I am finished with this thread. I have my solution to my problem.

Posted: **Mon Aug 16, 2010 3:00 pm**

Good glad you found the answer.

Next time, post it here and maybe others will be able to help. Not everyone is in IRC.

Here's a great example of a question that was just answered.

<Manohvan> OK I GOT A QUESTION
<ShastaMcNasty> woot
<DocFaustus[MDK]> CLEAR THE CHANNEL
<Blaze-work> Shoot
<DocFaustus[MDK]> HE HAS A QUESTION
<@Derrick> It would be nice to make a knowledge base

<Manohvan> doc
<Manohvan> seriously
<DocFaustus[MDK]> ?
<Manohvan> take it down a notch
<Manohvan> just answer this:
<Manohvan> WHY DOESNT THE DOORS SHUT?
<ShastaMcNasty> believe it or not Man, Doc is being serious
<ShastaMcNasty> dbl click!!
<Blaze-work> Dbl click them
<ShastaMcNasty> or sdomething in the way!
<Manohvan> ...
<Blaze-work> To shut
<Manohvan> I open the doors
<Manohvan> I walk past the doors
<@Derrick> doors should shut on their own unless something is there blocking them
<Manohvan> IM INSIDE THE ROOM
<@Derrick> that will include hidden players
* DarkWing[AFK] is now known as DarkWing
<ShastaMcNasty> take a step 1 tile forward
<ShastaMcNasty> from the door
<Manohvan> and then I try to double click them
<Manohvan> yeah, I did that
<ShastaMcNasty> hmm
<DocFaustus[MDK]> So you're saying your doors are always open?
<ShastaMcNasty> detect hidden?
<Blaze-work> Something is in the way
<Manohvan> nothing is the way
<@Derrick> the door cat shut if you're on the tile they shut "to"
<Manohvan> the door eventually shuts
<ShastaMcNasty> detect is as good as gm in houses you own or are friended in
<@Derrick> i.e., the tile that you can't walk on if they are closed
<Manohvan> but when I'm runnin away from a goddamn goat
<Manohvan> THE DOOR WONT SHUT
<Blaze-work> Manohvan are you waiting 1 second?
<Manohvan> AND NO
<Blaze-work> There is a 1 second delay between actions
* Abercoby ([email protected]) has joined #SecondAge
<Orbanaz> running away from a goat?
<Manohvan> IT'S NOT THE GOAT THATS BLOCKIN
<ShastaMcNasty> i believe that goat is using wizardry
<Manohvan> see?
<Manohvan> did anyone answer?
<Orbanaz> haha
<Blaze-work> There
<ShastaMcNasty> 3 did
<Blaze-work> Is a one second delay between being able to open and close
<Manohvan> yeah, well, those were not good answers
<@Derrick> Send an in game page manohvan, I'll take a look
<Manohvan> tks derrick
<@Derrick> I've never seen a door not shut
<ShastaMcNasty> would you like me to come kill the goat? i am leet
<Manohvan> really?
<Manohvan> WOULD YOU?
<Scurvy> the goat is leeter

This is what I'm talking about guys.

Also: I cannot help it if you "feel" singled out. Sorry you feel that way. If you're over sensitive to these types of comments perhaps you shouldn't put yourself in the limelight by being the squeaky wheel. Pointing out that questions are hard to get answered is a false statement. I've in fact seen questions get answered almost before they've been asked!

its amazing .. everytime this subject gets brought up it seems most support having control in the room. but there a just a few that intend to have it there own way.

its simple people. if your going to have a Deep discussion about something with someone .. you might want to think about taking it to a Private room or one of the 2 pvp rooms, thats what they are there for!

its really not too much to ask! is it?

no one post lets just let this pathetic excuse of a thread die.

starting now.

dont respond to flamebait either

So, what can be done about this...I know there have been many times when I have gone in to ask a question and been ignored or looked over becuase I was the only one talking about the game.

I usually have to repeat my question 2 or 3 times to get someone to notice.

To be fair, i have seen a few of your questions and just had no answer for you. There are only a few people that really care to answer questions from I have seen and if they don't know, they don't even answer.
