Sorry, but&lt;br&gt;we&#039;re having a major problem. Let me explain it first.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So there&#039;s this huge bug where people can lag the mud with&lt;br&gt;certain commands, such as &#039;score&#039;, &#039;balance&#039;, &#039;debit&#039;,&lt;br&gt;&#039;buy&#039;, and &#039;mychars&#039;. Leave it to you guys to find them, bunch&lt;br&gt;of abusers :). So here&#039;s the annoying fix I had to put in.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;When you issue these commands now, it ticks up a number by 1.&lt;br&gt;Once you&#039;ve done 5 (I can change this later as necessary, of&lt;br&gt;course) it stops you from doing anymore - tells you you&#039;re &lt;br&gt;acting too fast. Every heartbeat this number oes down by 1.&lt;br&gt;So you can walk into a shop, issue 5 quick debits but the 6th&lt;br&gt;will be denied. If you wait 1 heartbeat, you can issue ONE &lt;br&gt;MORE (not 5 more). Think of it like a sliding scale that goes&lt;br&gt;up as fast as you type and then decays slowly over time.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This is going to be a huge issue for you guys who use macros&lt;br&gt;(even though they are illegal!) to buy heals and recall scrolls.&lt;br&gt;You can&#039;t just spam &#039;debit buy heal&#039; 50 times, you&#039;re going to have&lt;br&gt;to instead buy 50 in 1 hit, sorry - but adjust now or die to&lt;br&gt;your enemies.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;There was this other nasty abuse which I&#039;m surprised less of you&lt;br&gt;found out. You know how you can&#039;t do directional commands too&lt;br&gt;much - like &#039;east&#039;,&#039;west&#039;, etc - tells you you are moving too&lt;br&gt;fast? Well if you &#039;alias&#039; one of those directions to another&lt;br&gt;word like &#039;east_cheat&#039; you can do it as fast as you want.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Or rather, you used to be able to. That&#039;s fixed now too.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This change isn&#039;t going to be reversed so don&#039; bother complaining&lt;br&gt;how it screws up your ability to PK - adjust now or you&#039;re gonna&lt;br&gt;get smoked. This change has to go in or we&#039;re going to grind to&lt;br&gt;a halt due to abusers who are lagging the mud on purpose and&lt;br&gt;PKing people.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Man, that was a hard fix to implement. :)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; - Razan.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;[[Category:Changes_Board]]</div>
