Im suprised to read requests for change to reinc regain rate. Be happy you can
use regain at all.
When i first played here, you could only do regain and at only one rate.
Later, you could only do instant. Now you have 4 versions to choose from.
Pick the one that makes you the most happy, or least sad based on your time
you want to put in and all else.
You are going to lose time, money and exp in reinc. At least you have some
choice in the ratio.

Ok, this is just the reply I would expect - coming from you. "Back when birds
didn't have wings and fish didn't have gills we all had to walk on the ground"
type of thing. Wake up. It's the year 2005. This mud has advanced quite a lot
since 1994, and even since 1997. A lot of people would say this: We did NOT
want 4 version to choose from. The reinc system was excellent as it was, and
there were very few complaints, if any at all. Personally in all the years
I've played I can't recall anyone at all whining about reinc system before
this tune. It's the same kind of reply you give as when a guy steals your
wallet and says 'Hey, at least I didn't shoot your ass!' Now, the parallel
isn't exact, nor is meant to be, but the idea is the same: be happy that...
Can the tune cheerleaders please shut the fuck up if they haven't got anything
more to say than 'don't whine and play?' If you don't like people suggesting
changes to changes, then maybe YOU should be the one enjoying the game as it
is, without any more bullshit? It's nothing personal Kooper, just that I'm
tired of the 'top' 5% of batmudders making a great fuss about anyone
suggesting something even remotely different from what they do.

In addition to my other post, I would like to point out that none of this
would have been a problem, IF the waiting period for minimal tax would be
shorter. As I recall back in the old days it was one month. Then it was
changed to 2 months. Now it's three. I would like a change to that, or if not
then an explanation just why, from the coders' point of view, it has to be
that long? Reinc is one of the things (major things) that make this mud
interesting to play. If there'd be no way to reincarnate, maybe I wouldn't
play here at all (and some would see that as a blessing perhaps). In my
opinion the wizards should not be forcing everyone to conform to the one and
only one form of playing this game, i.e. hacking insane exp in one reinc,
getting youth scrolls and potions and then birthing, and then raping eqmobs
and whining that they aren't hard enough. This mud should offer a variety of
interesting possibilities. This is not a 'whine', this is feedback, and as
such I should hope is constructive in some way.

You just flamed that he was comparing the new way to the old way, but are
asking for the tax timeout period to be like the old way. WAKE UP! It's 2005,
and we have an improved reinc system with more choices. Stop griping and
asking for things to be like they were back before birds had wings and fish
had gills and we all had to walk on the ground.

Not to cause a fuss ... just comment slightly. I've played through the "old
reinc system", both here and on other muds that used the same technique.

When I recently began spending time on BatMUD again and saw the "new reinc
system", I was intrigued. I really like the conceptualization and thought put
into it.
