; Another player pushed me into a dangerous place |

: If someone is pushing you against your will, run away - just like in real life! If you can't run then you can use a scroll or logout. If you were away and got pushed, that is your own responsibility. Please keep an eye on your character and if you are going to be away from the computer, put yourself in a safe zone. You can't be pushed into portals or past zone boundaries so you should be ok if you chose a safe place to rest. |

| ⚫ | : Stendhal is an RPG which is very much ''in development.'' For now we have a simple RP system but there have been ideas floating around of a much more advanced one. See for example [[StendhalRPProposal]]. Now, with such an RP the old stats would need re-writing in terms of the new stats, perhaps with some sort of formula. And let say new players were choosing a class and race when they create an account, what do we do about already created accounts? We would need some solution. Also older players may have a massive advantage over new players. So, simplest, would just be to reset the database and start again. BUT none of these ideas have been coded yet and EVEN IF they were, there may be a way to deal with it so that we DON'T need to reset database. Some kind of formula for example. It is all 'ifs' and 'buts'. There was a forum topic on it, started in March 2007, when developing a new RP seemed like it was going to come a lot sooner ... a new RP did not surface (lack of time from developers, other important bugs to fix instead, etc) but you may like to read the discussion out of interest. It is here: http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1695999&forum_id=3190 |

: In the past your progress was only saved on log out, rather than incrementally while you play. But starting with Marauroa 2.3 the progress is saved every 10 minutes. So you may still lose a little progress, but not complete days anymore. |
