Author Topic: Master server change?  (Read 3399 times)

All servers begin with host name now, kinda freaked me out at fist.

Wait, what would Tom's server end up as Tom's Tom's server?

I haven't even noticed that until you said that.

Me too. I wondered why Metropolis RPG was now Wentworth's Metropolis RPG. =/

I disagree heavily with this. Although names in front is handy, and most people are doing it them selfs anyways, it'll mess people up. For instance, clan server are now going to be Ace's [BAN] Fleetbuild which works, but it looks kinda odd if its the clan's. Also, people with epicly long names are screwed, although I don't think they should have those names in the beginning, but whatever. Also, it clutters it up a bit.

Achally, now that I look at it again, it looks fairly nice. People with long names are still screwed, and it might get annoying if someone wants to start a server that is not connected to them in any way, like for a friend. also it looks quite cluttered. But it is handy, and "City Build!" is now changed to "Joxio's City Build!" which looks much nicer.

I noticed when no servers started with '['. It took me a minute to realize that all server now started with hist name.

Overall its a convince when the server name is something like 'Freebuild'. But you're right, it clutters everything up and ruins clan servers.

This is probably to help solve the problem of people naming their servers "Badspot's whatever".
At least that is the only reason I see behind it. A good reason nonetheless.

Bah.  I'm switching on the server name prefixing.  It clutters up the names a bit but it avoids this kind of crap.  We'll see how it goes.
Because of all you idiots out there that wanna be like Badspot he had to turn it on.

In response to this, I thought of something to go with it: http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=62250.0

I think its good, useful and its good for a mod I'm making :D

my servers are always "Tails - something here"

Does it check if your name ends with an 's' to only do a ' rather than a 's?

I feel dumb. Quote from my thoughts when I played yesterday: Whoa! What happened to all the clans?

A tab like the passed server or not that tells who the host is.

's at the end of everything is grammatically correct. ' at the end of nouns that end in s is also correct but nonstandard.

Yeah this freaked me out last night. I don't really like it but I suppose it stops the Badspot impostors.
