What was the BluZone?

[shyGriff]

Yea but if you don't have a serious RP you end up with people in doggyland and with nukes unbound :-|

well i mean
i don't like RPs where you don't actually RP at all and just run around shooting everything
but i also don't like RPs where you get screamed at for saying one word OOC or not being a human or you have to have a character whose backstory/bio is the length of 26 books or else you get screamed at again

i just like RPs where you can kinda walk around and chill and not have to worry about much, but you still have to be somewhat realistic.

Well then, you should have stopped over at the Bluzone. It was quite like that, have to be a human, unless you were Kaph, don't need a bio, and whatnot. But you had to be Realistic in the Bluzone

that appears as a rather unfair ban in my eyes
the first unfair ban i've ever seen on ZITB

It was a good RP, got shut down because of what Knaiz said, and the bluzone got nuked or something in-story. It also had a high amount of handicaps perma-banned.

No. I believe the banning system was retarted, I bet many potential RPers got banned for the Setname function. It got nuked after it got shutdown, and it was a good RP.

You must not have been following the server very closely. If you were, you would have noticed that yes, silly names was an instant-ban but that was later changed. Not only that, but bans could be appealed as well.

Atop that, you probably have no idea how to run a server (let alone a role play) of that size.

If someone sets their name to something ridiculous, do you really think they are going to role-play well? It easily filters out the idiots. It's one of the reasons I really wanted melee weapons in the server when Knaz said he removed them because it tempts people to fight with them and deathmatch. I saw this as a way to improve the gameplay and filter out the idiots. If you're tempted to do stupid stuff, you probably can't role-play effectively.

First impressions counted for a lot in the Bluzone.

[Kaphonaits²]

i didn't know how to use OOC when i first joined because there was nothing on how to do it iirc.

then we fixed everything and spiderman time with lizards happened the end.

i made the mod automatically talk into ooc if you hadn't spawned yet.

Plus there was /rpcinfo or something

Seeing new servers and topics pop out after Bluzone had it's last hours just tells something about Bluzone.
It was pretty damn popular.

It's certainly left a bit of a legacy, that's for sure.
