DB's and such

[Ryxingeir]

Okay... first, some people just don't like to break 1 db at a time... yes, breaking too many lags the server, and kills off high priestesses:

(i believe over 100 were broken during this picture - and the reason the person's name isn't shown is because it was going into a lag-disconnect)
Note... mvps can no longer be summoned by dbs, so this does cut down significantly on the lag factor, the only real complaint to breaking so many.

Secondly... why not in a db room? well... db rooms are nice... but so many are mazes.??Is this bad? no, it's great for events... but not many people would want to fight something in a small space; and since all the db rooms are on the same map, you don't get to choose one and fight your enemies there if your enemy can teleport, odds are it will, and then you're stuck trying to track it down and fighting it wherever it winds up, possibly in a map you don't want it to be on - thus leads to the popularity of using small maps like Byalan or Sunken Ship where there is very little room for an enemy to hide.

Thirdly, people are unpredictable...??you go to a map where you think you will find no one, and there's a merchant setting up a Starbucks...
(Kavac made me spill my coffee *grrrr*)
Can it be inconvenient? yes... i remember someone breaking untold db's and getting a Dark Lord in the poring room of Hidden Temple (back before eAthena made it so random).??But how could they know that people would want to come to Byalan at exactly that moment? they couldn't...

If Neo and Marivel were in the process of killing their monsters, that was their battle, and the GMs should not have interveined and certainly shouldn't have jailed Mari...??it would have been just as easy for you to teleport the people inside Byalan as to KS Neo.

I think you at least owe them a refund of the db's which the intervention cost them.

[edit] If you intend to continue with such interventions and jailing, then make it a rule, so that it isn't something up for discussion any more [/edit]
