Community Meeting Question Thread

[Stephensj 327]

Another question, if I'm allowed to post another. What are considered pvp weapons? For example, if someone begins to drink a strength potion during a countdown, are you allowed to start pvping them?

 

Refering to the ban report against csalz

first

why is 4.5 not 5.0 if its a permanent map?

 

edit: when is supremacy gonna answer adams thread about lore

 

Because Sky made a post where everyone voted the current map at the time (4.0) was **** and the became painfully obvious that the staff had to do something about it given their current state of receiving a lot of criticism. 

 

Thus started the very simple, rushed, lazy development for the next map, 5.0. Except for next official maps since there has to be a ton of development, a long time theory crafting, developing, planning, lore exc. the map they were rushing couldn't "Possibly" be 5.0 so they named it 4.5 instead.

 

Basically everything was a immediate result of the community telling the admins the map is ****, and they took the easy way of fixing that problem, and since it hasn't become a problem for them, they haven't put an ounce of thought into the development for 5.0, mostly because LotC doesn't have any capable developers.

 

You could also say that, they didn't have a 5.0 because they refused my help.

Actually, no. Kalamoot answered this in detail at the actual meeting, but I'll give you a tl;dr from what I remember

 

A map they called 5.0 was being created. As the deadline of 'early summer' approached, they realized they could not finish this map. So, some group of people got together, proposed taking an existing terraformed map (I would link to it if I could find it), removing a continent, then setting some builders on it. This resulted in Vailor, which they called 4-5 (four five) so it wouldn't be confused with the cancelled 5.0 (I assume).

 

So we got this map, which is pretty cool, no? I like it, generally. A bit too much empty space, but I like it definitely.
