Sleeping Beauty

[Mr. Bones]

Well I had a good friend in one town fall asleep for a long time. I finally gave him up for dead and used him for target practice a time or two, (It was mean I know). Later I came back from a long trip and there he was all active and mad because I shot him with my bow. I was pretty shocked.

I had a person come to my town right after they spawned and never said a word but just went to sleep. I gave the person a shield to protect it from the animals, and then I drug the person inside of a building to protect it, but it just slept and never said anything. After a year of that I finally started having target practice in the person.

Unfortunately I couldn't really do any damage because of the shield I had given it when it arrived in the town, but it ended up dying of starvation right at a year. Never said a word or did anything the whole time it was there...

Isn't the point of target practice not to kill the target so that you could go on training? Not holding back any of course but if you give them a shield you don't need (and make sure they can't run away with it) you can get more benefit out of them. People are too sensitive about sleepers, you can leave them to starve and you can use them as animal baits but if you use them for target practice then that's like attempted murder.

I wouldn't be surprised if many people join Cantr, check around the town and pick a road randomly, then get bored as it takes days in real life and nothing's happening. The button for create new character should maybe say "create new character" instead of being a vague face and the player would be required to create their initial two characters after they first login, this way they would be forced to notice where the button is and would know how to use it (provided that there isn't too many confusing messages on the way). Also it should say "Currently you can create another X characters", depending on the days played, characters created and young deaths. Also if the player gets bored in waiting and never logs in, there won't be silent characters spawned that never wake up. Usually you know someone is a newbie if they don't do anything after spawning because their account was just accepted while they were offline.

I like that idea Seko. I remember when I first started playing. I couldn't believe I actually had to wait days in real life just to do something in the game. I think that's actually what fascinated me so much...but it was very frustrating at the same time.
