The link irc://irc.gamesurge.net/neversummer gives me a "page cannot be displayed" error.

When I follow the Wiki link to http://www.nsrealm.com/irc I get:

Not Found
The requested URL /irc was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Heyheyhey, it does!

Can someone edit the front page of the wiki, and the *other* link on the front page, to point to it?

Just for refrence, if anyone else is having trouble connecting to irc, it may be because of the network your pc is connected to ---for example, my college network blocks the client, so sadly when i am here i cannot ramble to you all ...

i guess i could go gripe to the network admins here at the university, but at the rate they get things done,.....--- lol -----

Maybe they would say "soon." If they do, then your tech support is actually the NS4 devs and DMs!!!

Ultimately an autoreset that happened every 8 hours and had the times posted on the forums would probably result in less headaches for the DM staff in the long run.

Players would tend to be more likely to deal with the lag if they knew that at "such and such" time it will reset anyway. The DMs could always be there in case it was totally out of hand between those resets but I think as a whole, the combined process would work well.

The DMs are generally available on IRC but lets face it depending on your time zone there are times when players are on and there's no one available, or if they are, they may have other issues to be working on. It would also cut down on the incessant shouts asking if someone will go to IRC and ask for a reset! lol

Problem with an automatic autoreset and it certainly has been already said: it's exploitable. And no, I won't say how. It should be clear for everybody, why it isn't a good idea though

. Now if it would be a random automatic reseter. Why not...

Acutally Kirg, I didn't see anybody in this thread talking about it being exploitable. If you are concerened about people camping bosses then realize one of the worse things to happen to your party is to get a reset just before getting to a boss area. It seems the bosses don't automatically spawn after a reset. I've been stuck in Amazons far too many times with no bosses to kill because of a recent reset. As far as relics go, I don't see it being a problem if people want to try and raid just before a reset so that their relic gets sent home. If they want to try and time it just right to get to the cradle before a reset then obviously the defenders are going to know about this as well and should prepare for that type of thing. I personally think that giving the reset a schedule might give some players a chance to login when the server isn't so full since they would know when a reset is going to go off and may have a better chance of getting in at that time. I think Poet was just trying to follow up on Zing's comment to see when soon might be.

Available as an option.

As in providing the capability to do this. Just because I provide the capability doesn't mean we'll use it.

Personally with the new DM's I don't think it's necessary. I've logged in twice this week and seen 4 DM's on.

Sweet Moses - can we place a moratorium on 1 word responses to posts?

The signal to noise just plummets and makes me regret I ever clicked on anything. Many of the team refrain from browsing boards because of all the junk. If you want to junk things up, have at the guild boards or the off-topic forum.

And, the person that responds 'Ok' gets banned...

Is there something that could be implemented to...say, transport anyone within 2 or 3 maps to be randomly ported to a different location a few maps further away. And maybe as an extra incentive against camping the bosses anyone camping the same map as the boss or the one next to it, they would be ported to a random location somewhere in the Mod. I understand this might cause inconvenience and annoyance to those who play this game by the rules. But again just an idea.

I was gonna end this with an ok but I would rather walk around this mod than find myself without legs and crawling like a snail.
