Map 4,2

[h4t3rz]

I loss my pets to this new crazy spawn. Are all clan maps spawning like this and I would like my two pets returned. Thanks.

That is one spawn at one spot they are all over the map.

Those skeletons should not be a problem to anybody, surely? Those are the ones in the underground catacombs next to the spawn map..

If I'm not mistaken, that is H4t3rz low lvl alt on a clan map. Lots of players use low alts to work. Them having pets at lower lvls makes this similar to spawning massive higher mobs to other players. Also, even those monsters will kill a player given enough time and critical hits, especially if they do not regen Hp due to working. In terms of a test, I'd call this a fail.

Every clan map has stronger mobs on it than skeletons.
If you choose to bring such weak pets there - you're accepting such a risk.
Also, you should be keeping an eye on your pets.

To assume that your pets are ever safe on any map is incorrect.
Anything can happen at any time.
And, in all game events, pets are not typically replaced if lost.

If you really wish to have your pets replaced, you could contact the admins with a receipt.
If you don't have one, then I'm not sure if they can help you.
But in most cases, pets are not replaced when they die.

As for having a low level alt on a clan map - that's a huge risk too.
You'd need to keep your head on a swivel to maintain survival.

I also believe that it is common public opinion that purchasing very low level pets is generally a bad idea.
When a new player walks up, having played the game 30 minutes loses a purchased pet, I'm not allowed to replace it.
It's a great way to say "welcome to the game", for sure.
For a seasoned game veteran, I'm even less inclined to do so.

I wasn't advocating pet replacement, by any means. Just saying that these mass spawns in such strange locations may not have been the best idea for a "test," as it was described in mChat.

[MadMikael]

This was not the first stage of the test.
This was simply the first public stage of the test.
The goal was to see how much the server could handle - so far so good - no crashes.
The timing of the test was that so that if there was a problem there would be little downtime.
The results of today's test were quite fruitful, and will influence future testing - and the eventual climax.
As anyone who has been playing for some time would know, nothing here is ever perfect on its first implementation.

Another good point someone made though:
This is an MMORPG
What does RPG mean to you?
I thought it meant Role-Playing Game...
Its set in a fantasy medieval world that is dangerous
You can die at any moment if you're not careful - but death is not permanent thankfully.
In a typical adventure, a weaker character should not venture to very dangerous places without a guardian to protect them.
To do so, would simply be folly... unless you're sure you know what you're doing...

Now, this fantasy medieval world is undergoing a strange happening - the undead are rising...
Of course, this may take some by surprise - that's only natural
If the zombie apocalypse were to come, rest assured, there would be casualties...
-----
But if you want to just focus on the G thing... Game...
Rules, rights, and whatnot...

Well, I see low level characters (especially alone) on a tougher map to be not in the spirit of the game
I could even call it an abuse of the mechanics...
Maybe, we should just jail all such accounts...

Of course, I'm not serious about this.
But, it would fall into the same category.
This is meant to be something new, and a promise of something good to come.
I've received far more comments of enjoyment rather than complaints.
Something "different" is happening, and it's better than the same old thing all the time.
...and, the hint of what might be is exciting, isn't it?

It's a game. Try and have fun.

Unread rising? Zombies? Now you are speaking my language...

[h4t3rz]

Yes my low lvl MadBuild is lvl 30 and there's mages there to and when you spawn 30 skeleton. And a mage mixes in its a mess. If you feel it's ok to mass spawn and kill pets on the change of a notice just say so. You want people buy pets so you may kill and say it's a mystical world. In America we call you a cheat and thief. I'm not poor so I choose call you crooks. Good day.

[blitzcraig]

it's important to note that I am not a GM, and I am speaking for myself, not the staff or anybody else

it sounds like you have a legitimate concern here - if you approach it like a normal, polite person you'll likely have good results. If you approach it like a jerk, accusing the GMs of trying to kill your pets so you'll buy more, you'll likely be ignored. My advice to you is to take a few minutes to relax a bit, realize that the GMs do not want to reduce anybody's game play experience, give them the benefit of the doubt (they've earned that) and maybe explain that you understand they are trying to help everybody have fun, but maybe they could change this current event (and explain why)

good luck, I sincerely hope it works out for you

[h4t3rz]

I care less how you feel I approached. I was polite at first and was told this is how the game gos. Maybe you should approach the staff and explain when a person spends 2.99$ on virtual object and it is taken for lack of concern to the people who actually play the game.

GM first mistake was assuming I wanted a pet.

Second was assuming I was saying a lvl one killed my pet. Maybe it's my fault but they should of obtained more info instead of treating me like a pet hungry poor person.

Third you say spawns like this are all over? I never seen 25 of anything spawn in the whole life of ft minus spawn party. The problem wasn't the lvl 1 Skelton it was the mage hidden inside of them.

Fourth building takes over a year to build a base and longer you don't need add your garbage skeletons because your bored.

That's all and issue has been resolved. Good day
