Disable selected town teleporting

Post by Berendol » Mon 28.04.2003, 03:47

I'd really appreciate someone writing code that disables the ability to teleport players in town, who aren't in a store. The teleport wars are getting more and more annoying, especially when people 'accidentally' hit innocent bystanders. Please, please, if you don't do this, can you make wands of Polymorph more common in the magic shop?

I personally disagree.  I think, if anything, town should be *more* dangerous than it already is.  Have a dragon wander through town or something a little harder than the townies.  It'll make people buy houses, even the POS 2 square ones.

If you're going to idle, go into your house, imho.

'Course, it's quite possible that you weren't idling, but, well, if it's a teleport war, dive or go hang out in your house.  Or, you could join in the fun.

I, for one, really hate seeing all the "fun" (read: cruel) aspects of the game being stripped away.  If someone can polymorph and clone something in town, the, by god, have at it, in my opinion.

Hmm... I guess I was just mad about being tele'd on my way to the store. Maybe I should keep a macroed rod of Polymorph in my house for such occasions.

Now, don't get me wrong.  It's annoying when someone does that to you without warning...I don't want to take anything away from that.  But it COULD be a lot worse.

Depending on who it was, you outta run up and smack on him/her/it  :P

Ah. See, that's the problem. I don't get to play much, so the offending players are usually higher than my level and have better gear and stats, so I can't do much else.
