    Default Someone update the silly "the twins" motd

    Getting tired of seeing that really dumb motd.

    "LOG IN YOUR CHARACTERS!!!! !@#!@!&!@*(@!&# RENOWN DECAY!!!"

    lol..

    Characters logged in = Less inactive accounts = MORE RENOWN DECAY. (inactive accounts do not count towards decay)

    So it's not helping, and just looks dumb. Someone erase it.

    The guild has 120+ active accounts. Loses hundreds of thousands of renown per day. No one plays on lamannia, we aren't going to maintain it. Should it drop to a point where we lose ammenities, im sure thoon or someone can log on to reset it to level100 for us.

    Doesn't logging one character make an account active? Can your account go totally inactive even tho you're actually online 16 hrs a day (hypothetically; i now have sleep and a job, so that's not me anymore) but have a lot of unlogged characters? Is this some new bug? If so, i'm sorry, but otherwise, that message is only valid if a lot lot of people have a lot of single character accounts. Really not trying to troll, but trying to see if it's a mistake, or there's a bug I should be worried about (stranger things have happened, lol)

    But I thought that was the point; have the level decay to the point where we lose ammenities.

    The rate of decay is measurable by thoon or anyone who checks in on the guild for the devs. So checking the rate of decay does not seem to be the test.

    Also, if we wanted to get back to 100, the 120+ accounts would have to quest in order to overcome the decay.

    For me, I saw it as a request to see ammenity loss from decay.

    nvm - I worked it out.
    The problem is never how to get new, innovative thoughts into your mind, but how to get old ones out. Every mind is a building filled with archaic furniture. Clean out a corner of your mind and creativity will instantly fill it.

    Yea it's completely illlogical. Thus why it's a annoying motd. The guy who put it up obviously had no clue how the system works.
