I was playing some server cause they had RO chess and you use your character to move the pieces pretty cool game but on their server they have this annoying mute. Like if you get a 3 hour mute or whatever amount it may be, it'll ask you a random question about your character like what level you are, name, job level and things like that and if you couldn't answer the question in 1-2 mins it would force log off your character. Plus it would ask questions randomly like maybe every 3 mins or every 10 mins. The questions asked were random so you can't time when the next question comes, and you'd have to stare at the screen for however long the mute is and answer annoying questions about your character. That way players really learned and people kind of avoided breaking rules. It's like the most annoying thing ever.

That's awesome; our mutes should be like that.

Solution - implement a market chat that is permoff to start and you have to enable it yourself ??

no, if they want something like that they should look it up on the forums, other wise all those stuff on the forum T/ S/ B would be pointless if you can do it in game, besides it will be a major spam spot

Or our mutes should last for like three days or  two weeks depending on what you've done but the time also goes down when your not online. You just can't talk but can still use skills. Looking at a screen for three hours not being able to do anything? I don't know how anyone could do that...

I think that would be alright since Aro is quite social to most players.

Isn't that a bot check? O.o

That would undermine the entire point of muting =/
The entire point of both mute and jail timers to only go down during online time is that it's not much of a punishment otherwise.
I mean you just take a break and play something else, and when you come back your char's all fine and dandy. That's not much of a punishment.

Rather if you have to sit there, and wait for the timer to tick down while you can't really do anything. That's much more like a punishment and is way more likely to get the perpetrator thinking "Yeah...I'm not going to be a total asshole next time cause sitting here doing nothing is annoying as hell", rather than "Lol fgts, I'll just snipe some noobs in CoD or play some other cards for a while and come back later".

the only bad punishment is ban/temp ban? :s

I think our punishments are fine but i was just suggesting that. BUT looking at a screen for 3 hours or something and not being able to do anything??? that's death. I'm just saying i think it's a but much. If i was a new player id leave and say "Screw this...I'm not staring at a screen and not being able do anything."

That's the point, a punishment has to feel like a punishment.
If it's something you can just ignore, it's not really a punishment. It won't have an effect on the perpetrator who gets punished.
If a newbie breaks the rules then the newbie gets punished, those are the rules. It is annoying as hell and frustrating, but then again, you shouldn't be breaking the rules in the first place.

I know. Just saying being made to stare at a screen for ages is bit much. I'd prefer temp ban for a few days than that, might only be my opinion though.

then just make it so that its any time within an hr that that question pops up

it is, but if you had gotten a mute such as that, you could see how annoying it would be.

[super priest]

or something else than mute wise punishment?

1. lose all of their current job/ base % (reset it to 0.0%)
2. Orc face for how ever long and it can't be taken off when you relog( maybe a funny punishment but it goes to show that your this bad person who didn't follow the rules)
3. Character access deny, meaning you can't get on that certain character for how ever long
4. lose zeny amount to the offense
5. lose job/ base level meaning you lose 1-3 base/ job level
6. .....thats all i got :/

This sounded good, all other ideas sounded bad.

I sorta quit with a bunch of other people because i've been her a while and the server doesn't have too much custom content. WoE is endgame but 1/3 the pop is in one guild and the rest is split up. Not even sure what it woe is like now but I can only imagine with supreme gone that things continue to go downhill.
