Red Squirrel · Post by **Red Squirrel** » Sat Jun 07, 2008 8:01 pm

* Picking up CTF flag now removes any transformation spells

* Dying when in a ninja animal form will create a human-like body as if you died while under no form

* CTF now has options to set hold flag time out and drop flag time out, so those will be adjusted depending on map size.
ex: if you have the flag, you have 3 minutes to score.

* Did lot of misc event/CTF fixes

* You can now unregister from an event by typing [event then clickking the unregister button. This gump will also show who is registered in the event

* Staff can now stop an ongoing event, should an issue occur and an event needing to be stopped

Anyway that the timer can be shorten instead of 30 min maybe 10 min. Kind of sucks having wait long periods.

It's set longer to give more chance for people to register. You can keep doing other stuff meanwhile anyway, even if you have pets out they get stabled when event starts. Just don't go do a peerless or something.

I know the 35 minute timer might suck but I have noticed a difference in registrations with a larger timer. With the newly introduced [event gump that shows who has registered, I have noticed that there's more time for signing up so there's a better turnout of players.

When we had the 10 minute version going, it was a scramble to get to a ctf especially if people needed time to log off or to get to a safe location and get ready for the event. 30 - 35 minutes gives a lot more time to prepare and people are more willing to sign up, knowing that they have more time to finish up what they're doing before registering.

Of course, for back to back CTF matches (Maps that run again shortly after the CTF ends), we probably could reduce the timer to 10 minutes because everyone's already prepared and ready to go.
