Where are the guards?
John Schirpik
red.
I told my brother to run and i tryed to stall the pks,i lead them to the
outpost at the yew,britain,vesper xroads hopping to get them guard killed i
get to the building and switch to a bow so auto defend would slow them
down,when the got close enough to hit me i started to call for guard none
came.
So i head in the building to play chase only the murder followed me in i
ran him around the building till i saw 2 guards and called for help NADA
there i am with a red on my but and guards in sight yet no help then the
rest came back in after looseing Blade and finished me off.
Needless to say this whole thing has pissed me off so i logged out befor
the promt for the murder came up,and im realy thinking of going to Ever
Quest now.
Ralph are you trying to drive people away? or tryimg to keep the Pkers
happy at all cost?

I think you will find that those guards are just naff little npc's who are
not much good for anything really (except dying) but you can hire them as
they are not town guards.
The only times you can call guards is when you recieve the message that you
are now under the protection of the guards.
So the only thing that got you killed here really was your lack of knowledge
of the game.
And how many people cannot honestly say that they died because there was
something they didnt know.
Show me that man and I shall show you a liar.

The guards are only nice decoration if you are not on a tile marked
"guarded". As long as you don't get the "you are now under the protection
blabla" message get, you are unguarded.
Hey, try attacking one of these guards in unguarded area :-)

if you ran into something you couldnt handle and if a guard you were saved
if not time to fall back and punt.
i know in the past a red player couldnt walk past that outpost with geting
guard wacked now they can murder you in the building with a guard not 5-6
tiles away.
If OSI is gonna change something like that we should be warned as far as i
know there is no mention of changeing guard zone at outpost,and i do check
the update board at OSI.

if you attack someone outside of the guard zone, and it takes him about
10 seconds to make it to a guard zone, the timer has expired.
I have heard, from a known liar though, that if you damage someone in
the guard zone after the initial timer has run out guards can be called,
but this is not my experience.
The auto combat flag runs for ~2 mins. I knew of players that seemed to
have it down to the point where they would attack someone in town, turn
gray, get rezed, then get their bow out of the bank and auto combat kill
people while they were yelling for guards. I thought this last one was
fixed though.
Saw someone trying it Hokuto this morning. Stupid name player killing a
naked newbie in town. Japanese player on a horse pulled out a katana and
turned the grey exploiter into sushi. Kind of glad I got up early.

Actually, there is a looting bug and attack bug too. The looting bug
allows you to loot a blue corpse w/o turning gray, the attack bug let's
you attack in certain ways/paterns w/o going grey after the first timer
runs out.
The attack bug is kind of obscure even to me right now, I would need to
use a stop watch to get the exact manner in which to reproduce it. But I
have seen both of these a lot, just haven't spent the time to
characterize them.
I don't think they will become a problem as long as I don't post them
publicly.
