I haven't used it yet, but this works out better in my opinion. At the old spot, people would huddle around and attack anyone who unsticks there. It really was not a safe place, and Sister Gertrudes is a pretty convenient spot. You have paths to the swamp, castle, northern Graal and Graal City, and a short walk from the eastern side and Yorktown. I get the feeling Snowtown and Deadwood are going to be a longer walk any way you look at it, and I believe they were meant to be that way for the adventure's sake.

At the end of the day, the unstick function is really supposed to be used if you get stuck somewhere and cannot move or leave an area. It's just that 90% of the players use it as a warp to get somewhere faster. If you really are lazy and don't like the placement of the new unstick spot, don't travel as much. :P

I disagree. I believe "unstick" should be used if someone is stuck and "unstuck" as a travel method since it was in the middle where you can conveniently choose the city you want from that point. They shouldn't have made Graal City a pk zone anyways because it's the main place where players interact and cross. Graal City ustuck spot had the same travel distance for both opposite cities like Snowtown and Sawmptown. Now it's off balance.

To be honest, the game was perfectly fine how it is... What was the reason they changed Graal City to a PK Zone? Whether it was overcrowding or RATE MY GP idlers, it honestly wasn't much of a problem. Graal City just seems deserted.

I dont like it but would you rather be pked when you unstuck?

Yeah, I don't see the point either. The purpose of them getting rid of the "rate my guild picture" and afk people is totally wasted now because they just sit on the chairs which are safe. It was a good go, but how about it is just changed back?

I wasn't pked even once when I used it.

The point of "Unstick me" is to warp you if you get stuck, so why is it a big deal if its moved would you rather stay where you were?

There is a railroad.

This is "unstuck" not "unstick" and the use of unstuck isnt really to rescue you from being stuck, it turned into a quick way to the city. If you are stuck you should use the nifty "unstick me" button at the bottom of your screen.

So the command called unstuck me isnt for unsticking your character, it's really for teleporting you back to town and it's just called unstuck me because that's only what it was originally used for?

Really why not just give us a spawn command to go there?

If you really want to warp to a more convenient location for travel, why not suggest an NPC to do so? Send in-game feedback for example, staff may take it into consideration.

However, as Rufus pointed out, there are other means of travel. You have railroads to get you to a faster location, but you complain that you can't walk fast enough? I feel like there really is no need for a central warp spot just to make travel easier. I actually believe it takes away part of the adventure aspect of the game itself.

"Unstick me" can be changed for all I care, but I was unhappy about the "unstuck me" location being changed. Notice when you get stuck in an area "unstick me" will appear and not "unstuck me"? "Unstuck me" should be used as a way to reset your location in Graal City where you can access every city in the most convenient way.

The railroad system is an okay way of traveling. I would still prefer to walk from the center of the map rather than finding a railroad. Not everyone has the draisaine for the railroads either.

I actually agree with that. Maybe something like "Unstick center" or something I don't know.

In this case, why not just allow all players to use "warpto graalcity_outside_02.nw"? Hell, why not let all players use the "Warpto (staff only)" function? It served a purpose it should never have from the beginning. People will have to get used to it.

Unstick/Unstuck me would serve their purpose better if the command sent you to the nearest indoor level. They aren't meant to be warps, they're a shoddy fix for glitches in the game.

Even if it wasn't meant to be a warp, it serves a function that's actually useful. Be honest - when have you ever needed to use the "unstick me" command outside of other people's houses? It was fine the way it is, it's not like it was causing problems. Now that the PK zone was restored to No PK, why not?

Apparently it's back.
