Error: You Cannot View the Events of Other Players!

I frequently receive the above message, often enough to have become pretty disruptive to game-play. Is this due to something I am doing wrong?

Also, one of my characters currently have a project 100% complete but is still working on it. Is this a bug or do I just need to wait for enough project tick?

Thank you!

The second one is as it should be. The char isn't skilled enough to get over 100% on the last tick, but very close.

I find this happens, mostly, when you push the "talk to" button while the page is refreshing or right before it refreshes.

That's just me, though.

Yeah, I reported this in the same thread the msql error thingies are at. There was talk of increasing the refresh time but.. nothing yet.

For statistical purposes, I'm going to say I get this all the time.. really annoying, logs me out of the character and 1 out of 10 times, I'll lose what I said too.

I am right there with you, returner. Very annoying to say the very least. So now I write long posts on notepad and transfer it over.

It has happened a few times for me now when putting a name and description on characters. And I lose everything I wrote. Seriously annoying.

That's the only time it really bothers me.

Getting kicked from the event page isn't as traumatizing because I still have the habit of typing things up in notepad from when we were on a time limit. :lol: There is the option to turn off the auto-refresh, but I like it too much.

Been happening to me at various times. Also note copying isn't working sometimes.

I only get that message if I press the back button on my browser rather than the back button on the page

Ah that sucks. One thing you can do, is write up a big message in the Cantr box and then press 'Ctrl+A' and then 'Ctrl+C', which as you probably know will copy everything incase you lose it.
Saves you having to open up notepad each time ;)

I've just tried 12 times to name a character before I finally gave up because it wouldn't let me and I always got the error message that I cannot view the events of other players. Before that one it took me 6 times to name another character. It's not possible to play properly like this... *sigh*

WHOA! O.O I've never had it do more then once. How much information you putting into the name category that would allow time for the refresh rate to hit? O.o

It was just a name (first and last name) of average length plus (<CANTR CHARDESC>) because I like to have the age and gender information right behind the name... I've seen females be called "he" and males be called "she" too often. ;) But adding CANTR CHARDESC never caused problems so far, I've also named two other people successfully before the problems were occuring. Oh, and I used copy&paste for the name, so I guess it didn't take 5 seconds to fill it in and send it.
