Ah ok. The nudge system kinda reminds me of Minority Report. Hopefully it won't go as far as nudging players ingame like say... When someone is trying to take out an MBT with an ESF nosegun a rocketpod advertisement pops up

"I see you're trying to take out a tank. You know, if you had been using rocket pods you would already have killed 10 and been home in time for tea and biscuits *wink wink, nudge nudge. Say no more.*"

I say! Unhealthy? Silly barbarians, killing VS is good for the soul.

So the system won't actually prevent people playing past a certain point, they just won't get anything from doing so. From what I've head/read about other games having that restriction I thought it would log you out after a certain amount of time had passed, heh.

Well that's good to know.

My thanks. May the day never come when you regret showing me how to start coding.

I'm glad you got the reference

Oh and why haven't you been given a dev tag yet?

In China, it is considered unhealthy to play games for hours at a time. In order for a game to launch in China, it must have an anti indulgence system to stop or discourage players from playing longer than the government set standards. We do things like stopping kill tracking and not awarding XP to meet these standards.

I thought you guys already had this, normally called a memory leak .... no, no, don't hit me, I'm only joking.

At one point ...
Muldoon : 'players often ask me why we can't have the chat system from Planetside 1' ......... etc.
Maggie/Luperza/Purrfectstorm: (looks at the camera) 'and we want that too'...

What were you referring to by 'chat system'. Did you mean the text chat box, ie /s, /p, /c and then contalls OR did you mean the voice macros - which is one of my bug bears.

I wasn't referring to the voice system, I meant the chat bar in the upper left. Someone asked why it wasn't in PS2 like it was a simple copy paste job.

I guess I would have to bug Hamma for that, wouldn't I?
