3) There are people who've won their unique alts or something, and don't want to lose 'em. Can there be made a special class of alts - say, Unique - which is permanently attached to this or that player and is always available for him, regardless of rotator? Such Unique alts would make great prizes for Alt hunts and such.
(I can propose a great deal more about such Uniques, but first one has to make sure it's possible at all).

Prize alts should be handled seperately from the alts in rotation but because mixing them up together was part of the problem with the old rotator code.

As I posted in the other thread, if you need to reset a character with a prize alt, just pm me the character and the alt and I will reset it for you. I will need to add the "prize alt" functionality as a seperate piece.

Well, no actually. I was just calling Ransom a traitor since she's my twin. :lol:

"Prize alts" are those that are permanently assigned to a player. Meaning it can still be accessed by others (ie not assigned to one individual player) but if it's rotated out the player who won it can still reset and access the alt even if it's unavailable to their faction at the time.

Actually I have that alt set to Core since it was a canon alt. It was lumped in with the rest of them in the database so I wasn't aware it was ever a prize. :oops:

When this is over and the poll for the next 10 fan alts are done, do you want us (by us I mean the poor unfortunate sods on the support staff) to go through and have another look at classifying things?

If you could all start doing it now I'll be able to get everything ready for the next rotation.

I voted for 1 week rotation but I wouldn't mind 2 weeks. 3 or 4 just seem too long a wait for me.

At the time of this posting ...

Every 4 weeks 29% [ 28 ]
Every 3 weeks 17% [ 16 ]
Every 2 weeks 32% [ 31 ]
Every week 20% [ 19 ]

Come on 4 weeks! :grin:

OK, I got thinking, most of the requests for early rotations (including mine) seem to be basing the request of the fact that this version of HMW only has 2 months to run and we want a few rotations before it changes.

Taking a step back I like the idea of 4 week rotation in the new version but I want to squeeze as much enjoyment out of the old version as I can before it closes and two weeks fits that perfectly for me.

Anyone else having this dilemma?

QFT.

Assuming July is when the game restarts (as all the info says currently), 4 weeks only gives us 2 rotations before it switches to V2. At that point ill rethink my vote, but until then its staying at 2 weeks.

Well you'll have to forgive me for being upset that people are only thinking short term for themselves rather than long term for the entire game. ;;)

Bite me.

Ill think in the short term as that how the poll is being pitched.
If 'V2' is going to be a seperate game as all previous information has dictated, then I'll address that when it happens.
Nothing here has suggested this applies to the new version.

So the guy who does the programming comes to the public seeking their opinion and you think it's only for something short term? ;;)

News Credits: 42 · by **Psychout** » Thu May 03, 2007 6:54 am

Nope. I applied this poll to the remainder of the game as it stands, as all previous info (which i know have changed, but we dont know to what extent) has said that it will be a completely different game.

If the poll stated that this was for the game regardless of which version then I may have voted otherwise.

How about being a good minion of OS and clarifying whether this poll refers to the ongoing game or the immediate version in one of your initial posts, as from the replies in this thread its impossible to determine?

News Credits: 226 · by **Burn** » Thu May 03, 2007 7:25 am

I'm not a minion, i'm a "General" .... apparently.

And OS seems to work in mysterious ways. Suffice to say, he ain't said anything about it.

P.S. Tied at 31

News Credits: 42 · by **Psychout** » Thu May 03, 2007 7:35 am

General? Nice title.
Is that rank from your in-game standing or from the support team title?

Hopefully OS will see this and clarify it for us poor confused souls. And then I can still vote for 2 weeks :lol:
