Thread: Test Center Update Notes April 22, 2004
With the new /tip emails being from the 'bank'. Can you ensure that the senders name is in the subject line?
"bank tip recieved from: SenderName Smith"
... or something.

Not sure about posting the details but let's say if you put your mind to it you can own as many structures as you can possibly want and with money being more readily available then any other resource in the game I am suprised it's not rampant.....or maybe it is hence this change
so there is/was some specific procedure one would have to go through to avoid the deletion of one's structures?
just wondering why I know quitea few people (look at sig) that have had houses poof when their char was deleted...

Does that apply to TC only? Live US servers? What about the European servers?
I'd assume it means all servers will receive a hardware upgrade next publish. Is that correct?
Thanks!

Vass,
How about going one step further and fixing the problem once and for all? There is as much, if not more, of a problem with cross server structures as there is with these 'ghost' structures. Why not give the database a break (and also people who are not involved in these schemes) and put a 4 or 6 week inactive period on at the very least harvestors? If the owner is not on - regardless of the admin list - for a certain period then the structure is re-deeded. Some servers have people who run hundreds of harvesters and these have been in the same place for many months. This must surely be a form of griefing against other players?
If the owner is not on - regardless of the admin list - for a certain period then the structure is re-deeded.
I agree something should be done, but I'm not sure what you mean by 're-deeded' because if this were to be implemented, I don't think there would be a way to make the deleted structure's deed to automatically appear in the owner's inventory, nor do I think there should be, but I'm not sure it's fair to destroy the individual's structure.

/cheerI hope this fixes all the lag issues we have every single day on Dantooine (the most annoying being the occasionaly ultra-slow vendors).
People use the vendors on Dantooine? Whenever I've been there, at least on my server, they're all nearly completely empty.
You do this for test center but not for the live servers! What is wrong with you poeple. Are you intentionally trying to piss us off so we quit?

Use Control-2 to target the droid (while in group)
Use the "~" to activate the radial command
Use the numberassigned to RECHARGE to recharge, etc...
I will conceed, this is a small price for the increased functionality that droids will provide after the patch.
