Wow Rennus, really? I hardly think this is a mighty issue that needs to be adressed. I cannot imagine how terrible it must be to land everytime you log on. Big freaking deal.

Well, as a game were RP is supposed to be core - A griffon with a 10 foot wing span sees a cave they want to enter. They decide it wouldn't be safe to fly in the cave. They wander around and need to "leave the realms" while in this small cave. When they "enter the realms" again, suddenly in this cave they decided IC it wasn't safe to fly into, they can now fly in.

I know there are countless easy ways to work around this. It just makes little sense IC. Can't the game just tag the player file with a "flying" flag on log out?

I don't understand why you are pushing for this so hard. It really doesn't matter. I will be appalled if this even gets a second glance by an immortal. I enjoy the code the way it is now and prefer to be flying when I log on.

The ramifications (also IC) of an auto fly command would be more foolish than the lack of one. Logging out in a flight zone is an obvious example of grave consequences.

Two posts hardly qualfies as "pushing for this so hard". One asking the question and another giving a reason. If this is pushing so hard, I am afraid to think is considered not putting effort into something.

The god race is flying as well. I have to land every session. I don't believe this would be an easy fix. I'm pretty sure that sprites and griffons will always get the shaft and this might just be one more way that they do. Its not really important enough to dig into. It is annoying, but alia work for me. That you're that considerate of your RP is spectacular. Kudos and sorry.

Wow . . .

Also, sometimes people greet me, but I couldn't care less who they are. This usually happens when they greet everyone in the room, or are trying to rp with me for some reason. This is really, really annoying, because then I see xxx is here, and I'm like, who the F is xxx? Also, my low int character ends up forgetting people who are actually important and worth my time. I think we really need a command like "forget xxx" so you don't have to remember somebody else's useless character.

Yeah, the more I think about it, the more I realize that this forgetting people idea was actually awesome. The fact that I thought it up should probably have tipped me off.

It's actually insanely better than whatever was proposed in this thread about flying.

Anyways, if it were possible for me to invent a complaint that nobody cares about, I would invent it, just to compare it to the complaint in this thread.

Unfortunately, I'm just too awesome, and everything I think is pure brilliance.

p.s. the time you've spent posting in this thread and reading the responses is more than the time you would spend typing "la" every time you log in over the course of your character's life.

pps. And omg what if you logged on somewhere and your character totally wouldn't want to be flying there?!? How about you land? omg the rp of it is mind-boggling.

Someone should check what forum they are in before attempting to flame, ITG. This is bug discussion, not GD.

That wasn't a flame, but I'm sorry that I hurt your feelings. I didn't say anything that tragonis and velvetwinter didn't already say.
