RP Businesses – Breaching Rental Agreement

Sunday, July 31st, 2011

Just a reminder that some of the stores in KOS have a event quota to meet. If you are not interested in running RP events to promote roleplay, you should leave the businesses, and let other people to take over who may wish to do so.
If you haven’t run any event for a while, you are breaching the RP rental agreement, and Ireem will repossess the store.
If you are willing to comply and run events, please contact me (Kora) by Wednesday and let me know what event it is.

SGS HUD v 2.11 Release

Sunday, July 31st, 2011

THIS is a MINOR release. Apparently today SL is misbehaving, so I quickly released an upgrade to help with a possible delay in connecting with the external database. However, if SL Is bad and it doesn’t connect with the external world, there isn’t anything I can do about it.
This is not a mandatory release.

Safezone Update

Sunday, July 31st, 2011

Now, the code for safezone is updated everywhere.
If you are in the middle of a fight/capture (so your stamina is less than your max ), you won’t be able to set your meter to safezone. This way we hope that people will not try to run to safezones when they are about to lose anymore.
Once you click on the safezone, there won’t be any delay to process the safezone anymore.

SGS HUD v 2.10 Release

Saturday, July 30th, 2011

Have you forgotten to compliment other players? And now you cannot do it anymore because they left the SIM?

This release addresses this topic. There are 2 new gestures:

/compliment and /norp

If you wish to compliment someone, simply type:

/compliment Firstname Lastname

If you wish not to interact with another player, simply type:

/norp Firstname Lastname

If this player is offline or in a different region, s/he will receive an Instant Message about it.

If this player is in the same region, s/he will receive a popup window with the message.

Also when you enter a region, there will be a reminder in your local chat about the people that you cannot interact with (either by your or their request).

Upgrades are always free and available in the Game Room at the entrance of the SIM.

Please do upgrade, but this release is not mandatory.

SGS HUD v 2.09 Upgrade

Friday, July 29th, 2011

This release will address the issue of switching to OOC/Training Mode while in a fight/capture, and to run to a safezone.
This release will soon become mandatory.
And afterwards, the safezone will become instant, and not more delayed, if and only if you are not in the middle of a fight/capture.
Upgrades are always free and available in the Game Room, at the entrance. Touch the upgrade sign to receive an upgraded SGS KIt.

Combat Flying Carpet

Monday, July 4th, 2011

THere will be an event soon, but in the meantime, if you wish to practice, I left a flying carpet dispenser jar in the desert. It takes up to 4 people. The first one to sit is the driver. All of them – once in mouselook – can ‘shoot’ at other carpets. No need to wear a weapon. Once your carpet loses all armor, you get ejected from it and fall on the ground. People from the ground may shoot at the carpet  with bows or other range weapons. Then you can hit with the carpet if you want them to lose health.
