hmmm, k 'forced change' wasnt a very proper way to put it. But i read all your guys' posts, and yea.. you make my idea seem not so good . But i hear a lot of talk about one zone. Perhaps it would be possible to program ASSS for A single merged zone, as so different staff can be made for each subarena/zone in the single zone, getting ahead of myself, but to go to a zones event you simply type .?go mg_slideball, or .?go deva_pb . (with the zone prefix...), duno.. its possible. and no !@#$%^&*berry, wada we want more zones to sit at 0population for. New zones are created by new players who find subspace and figure out how to make there own zone. Or thats how it usedta be.. goes to show how little new players come and make zones nowaday editz: Someone posted instead of a day, just shut down for one hour... interesting. so zone is chosen, il pick devastation for example. time is chosen for 15:00, at 14:45, all zones give a 15/10/5/1 minute warning telling everyone that they will be down for 1hour and to proceed to the event zone .. in this case devatstation. The zone would then shutdown at 15:00 and theoretically everyone would go to devastation (perhaps 50-60% of total people playing at that time, due to spec's and the people who are too good to go to a different zone. One hour passes, all the zones are back operational at 16:00, and players can then either go back to there home zone, or continue to play. Next day of the week, same time, it happens again for another zone. ah yea.. mk and hs... !@#$%^&* exp zones, ye stumped me on that one, ...
