Dear Nasomi,

I have tried for hours to get at least 1 kill on the Gawky Gawain in East Ronfaure with only exploiters. Then the event went down overnight. When they said it was fixed, blu are still using skills to hit it. I feel that in order to "celebrate" a server everyone playing should have a reward, not just the lucky exploiters. Everyone in the parties are complaining and people are upset. This did not bring the community together, it failed. Please think about making it fair and giving everyone a ring who participated even if they weren't in a hacked alliance.

All players circumventing intended game mechanics, especially for an event, will be punished, up to and including permanent loss of character. This was reminded to all players through an in-game system message yesterday.

Report the offending players to nasomi through a private message in naschat.

If any of the players who circumvented intended game mechanics to do the event (used jump, shield bash, BLU magic etc to kill bulls) are reading this: simply prepare for the permanent removal of your character, and stop playing now before you waste more of your time. Say goodbye to your friends!

Over 15 players got jailed just last week, for things you've probably never seen or heard about. It happens. Often.

Most of the system messages Nasomi broadcasts are reminders after he has to discipline a bad boy.

No one is circumventing game mechanics, stop with the banning nonsense... currently nas has disabled the jump ability because of his failing to anticipate all sorts of damage that can be dealt for his event. What is next? Disabling shield bash? All blu spells? How long after the event ends before he actually undoes it?

Using anything except wooden katanas and GK WS (which still do very low damage) is circumventing game mechanics. There was a system message to remind everyone of this yesterday.

Jump and other abilities were never intended to do damage to bulls, but as far as their being disabled goes: this is a bug. They were only supposed to be disabled for use vs bulls, not entirely. They will be fixed.

Yes, the ability to damage with sources that nas didn't prevent against is bad, and something that happened, but the use of it is still circumventing intended game mechanics. You'll notice that each and every instance of circumventing intended game mechanics works this way. Something was coded poorly - but that doesn't mean that it can be abused.

Please follow the rules. Again, this was expressed in a system message yesterday, and particularly directed at players doing the event. If you broke this rule, please cease doing so to prevent having an issue.

I'm just curious if the rings have a time limit to be used like other EXP rings? Or are they good until they're gone? Kind of off topic from the initial post but only post ive seen about the rings here.

Bad design != game mechanics

It was not designed to take damage from anything other than wooden katanas.

All players circumventing intended game mechanics have been warned. This is not my opinion, no one is here to argue, we're just here to stop players from putting their characters at risk.
