Shattered Kingdoms

-The ability of charmed NPCs (including NPCs ordered by a tribunal leadership skill) to summon is no longer possible, due to the inability of the playerbase to use the skill judiciously, or to abide by "The Golden Rule of Etiquette". Player characters will still be able to summon with the same ease as previously. Also, though we haven't seen many people trying to do so, but just to clarify - you cannot scribe the summon spell either.

Glad this happened, some people just weren't getting it.

Indeed. Excellent change.

I didn't realize this was a problem, but obviously the playerbase is incapable of any sort of etiquette and as such, hard-code is the evil necessary to remedy the evil of the playerbase at large.

Cudos to the idiots who made this code-change necessary. I bow to your intellectual prowess and your ethical nonchalance. Thank you for being the idiots I already knew you were. My sig suits you best.

Unfortunately I have to look directly at the peacekeepers as the cause of this change.

What I don't understand is how they ever expected to get away with it.

It's not the Peacekeepers who started it though, Jardek. They just decided jump on the bandwagon. Not that it makes it less lame.

I don't even want to hear it was the Hand. Since I have started playing Hotepsunum (530 hours ago) we have never been able to summon kill with NPCs for fear of being booted out by Benjamin. So in that regard I am positive this was not our doing.

Don't make me invoke Godwin's law. I'll do it.

Fairly sure this was done because of the summoning of every single named NPC into one room by the Hand and by the Keepers, as well as dozens of wights by the Hand.

But we don't use NPCs to do that....we do it ourselves
