Title: Healing people from negative hitpoints in the arena for XP
Post by: orth on February 12, 2008, 07:41:52 PM

DO NOT USE potions/magic/bandages to heal people below 0hp in the arena and thus earn XP

THIS IS NOT ALLOWED.

In the meantime the logs are being parsed for extensive abuse of said practice.  Rest assured any extensive violators will be dealt with.

Until the fix is in place, avoid this practice.  We're not going to hang people for doing it a few times though. (this has only appeared since the name change to Fort Vehl.)

As I stated "extensive violators will be dealt with"

I'd pointed this out a few times to various DMs - as I understand, it -should- be fixed in the upcoming update, to pass along the word to the rest of us.

Sad to hear some folks were abusing this extensively, but... Rather expected it.

I always just give the negative HPer a good, swift kick. They come back with 1 hp in a few seconds.

*grins* I was wondering if this was a exploit. I noticed it myself when as a "good" player I saved storold from dyeing.

Good to see it handled now.

And I agree, please make sure people die in the arena, your not there to make them suffer :)

Thanks for that.  Peanut  healed a player today  at the arena and I will not do that anymore.  I didn't know it was a no no.  Thanks again:)

Stressing here... Below -Zero-.... because I only heal them if they are still alive and I just back off the fighting...

I do believe you can not do this any more. I believe it was fixed in the last update. at this post http://forums.layonara.com/layonara-server/113498-new-version-online-v3.html
