^ Yes. I really don't see how useful the jail thing could be. A straight ban or kick will convey the message about learning the rules to be part of the community. Forcing an ingame stay doesn't serve much more than wasting one's time and add unecessary features really. Nothing guarantees that this solution will be better at getting players to learn the rules instead of just forgetting about the server. I'd rather be tempban for a mistake than being forced to sit ingame doing nothing. Or worse: needing to RP a situation for OOC reasons. I'd rather have a jail that is made of and for strict IC RP.

Hello, so, sorry to dig up the thread like that but I've been very interested for a few days now about the possibility to see (and run!) a hotel. I get that it could be tough on the staff to just create all these rooms and monitor them all to make sure everything is handled correctly by the players. But perhaps quantity is not the thing we should aim at. In fact, in this precise scenario, couldn't the solution be expensive hotels instead of modest ones, and play around the fact that there are only two or even one room(s) available? That would prevent low quality RP where we just give rooms away without much RP to it like bartenders and instead add depth around the management of the few (or only) room(s). Reservations, room service, events, breakfast in the morning etc. Things that would be quickly impossible to do if hotels were too vast and popular. The staff would end up having only a couple rooms (room + lobby?) to manage, and the hotel staff could focus on some given guests closely for the night. Obviously I'd love to run a Gentry Manor as it would be super cool to RP, (as would be a shady manager in a half-renovated motel) but I feel like unless low cost hotels run the numbers room-wise, they'd have a difficult time. Sharing!

So I joined the server very recently too, and while I had plenty of experience with other supports such as MMOs and all kinds of stuff, I do find that some of what has been said here is somewhat justified. GTAW is really a dense world with plenty of features, informations and mechanisms we need to quickly integrate. Some we could believe at first contrary to the established philosophy of what the server is. The GTAW forums are filled with very useful, well written and pretty informative guides. Problem is: the forums are so huge that it is often pretty hard to browse through it all to find the right information. Perhaps we don't need another guide, but just a list of links so that people can easily just access the most essential of them to get started? Edit: I only read a few of the first messages before posting, and that has been suggested already, but still sharing my impressions!

Incredible job with that! Regarding helicopter takeoffs and preflight check you would likely observe a couple minutes of letting the engine heat up slowly to avoid damaging it (same thing after landing to let it cool down nicely). May appear a bit boring to play out but it is actually a good opportunity to get a conversation going with someone you usually couldn't or wouldn't. May also want to check left and right in the process to see if anyone's near the takeoff area as a security mesure. Some aircrafts can really punch a lot of pressure when departing, people standing too close can easily be thrown off balance and hurt.

Thank you all for your replies. I filed a /report as suggested, will see where it gets me! Edit for the curious: The administration allowed a rename, so thank you all!

Apologies if this has already been asked before, I did read the frequently asked questions thread and made a bit of research but I couldn't find it. So here is my issue : I thought myself smart making a character with a french background and an exotic first name. Turns out I ended up with two League of Legends character names and I am quite afraid that this will break immersion for some people and overall lower people's experience when playing around me. I saw in the UCP that we could have character renames, so how do I get one? I've only played my character for a handful of hours and I doubt this would be a problem for the few people that already know me as 'Lys'. I would rather keep Leblanc as a last name though as it is actually quite common in France and I like the tone of it, but I'd rather ask as well. Thanks!

Had the same issue, the pointer seemed stuck in a very tiny window preventing access to some menus during character creation. This fixed it. Thanks.
