Waaaaah this event is draining me.

hi guys,     yes,    we hope so sam gonna fix this bad typos,     example,      butiful  starts the night sky,  beautiful,   or inventory,   oh,    i just wanted let know.

ahahahaha, all have spelling errors. Do not believe?
Sam, you should implement channel chat or something as well.
Half of people who play this wonderful game are Latin-American (i include); and many of those who speak English don't understand us... and many times they resent that speak another language, you've seen it, I think.

I wasn't initially going to say something, but I have to agree with darth scorp here. I just find it funny that people want to play a game that clearly revolves around survival, yet complain about getting killed. Now, of course, there are various aspects here to.
Even if you're unarmed and a killer chases you, you can get away. Believe me, this has happened to me also. Later on you learn to defend yourself and normally I've noticed people would run away once I shoot back. And getting killed really isn't all that bad. But perhaps I'm just saying that because I'm used to swamp where dying was a lot more costly.
Either way, I don't get the idea of the disabling PK system, but I understand that this is Sam's game and he should move it in the direction he sees fit; there are always other things to do/games to play if we don't like it.
Lastly, remember that the game is still in early beta. So now building a bow and boat might be all we can do, but soon we can build these promised tree houses, as well as hunting animals. Perhaps that in itself would deter players who are bored with the game to simply kill others.

Thing is, at this stage we can't gain energy; that hasn't yet been implemented. When you start, you start with a random amount of energy. I've noticed many people go on suicide missions in that case, hoping to re-spawn with higher energy. What you say makes sense though, and for that I suggest that there should be some kind of small town where it would be safe to get supplies etc, a safezone-like environment where you cannot be killed.
This will allow you to build up and get yourself armed before going out into the wild, where anything can happen to you.
Alternatively, we could have something like beginner's protection. During this, you cannot be attacked for a period of 15 minutes after re-spawning. That should be more than enough time to get water and a bow. This is simply a suggestion and I have no clue how hard/easy it'll be to code.
I believe Sam mentioned Bares at one stage, and from what I understand they will be fierce adversaries, who will do anything to get you killed. LOL I have a feeling people would wish regular PK back once those come after you.

Samn, you're in a very tough spot here, trying to make everyone happy. And that, sadly, is impossible. I will tell you though, with PK being the way it is right now, it's not working. All these lovely long-distance weapons people have are effectively useless, and there are so many cheap ways around it it's ridiculous. So many people are resorting to cheap pokety poke punching matches, it's truly irritating. No real survival skills are encouraged. My suggestion is that perhaps PK is off for someone until they have met certain requirements in the game, I.E. gotten a bow and a certain amount of arrows. Other than that, pk should remain on. The game is called Survive the Wild, after all. Not Peaceful Tour Through the Woods.

Hi sam, while I understand that you are trying to make people happy, we  need to remember the theme of the game and that's  survival.
Meaning you have to try and survive.
I've  killed and have been killed more than a few times and that's part of the game.
Now that pk is optional, there is nothing to do on the game at all now I can do everything there is to do in less than 20 minutes.
You've even stated yourself that you will be putting in animals and so people will have to try and stay alive and won't really be able to pk nearly as much because they will be busy protecting themselves.
So there really is not a point to have optional pk.
you do have the option to stay in a tree or lear nto fight and in a survival situwation you can't just tell other people to leave you alone.
If you start by trying to please everyone from the start, that later on when you put in other things that can kill you ,  people are then going to  complain that it's to hard or that you lsoe your stuff.
I really feel that the way it was was just fine.

Safe Zone in the wild?
crazy. Very crazy. And it is also illogical.

well first of all, by wednsday there will be sleep, yay for that. Just one big improvment. And the watch alarm then, will be come very handy. Because in realisticness you can't fall asleep and wake your slf up all the time. You have to hear a loud noise, etc. Such as a watch alarm in 5 squares of you would wake you up. So when you sleep, you have to have wood for the fire that will last all night. Or else you could frees to death. Etc. So just sleeping will provide many tasks in it's self. And keep in mind, this will mean you will have to go threw the day, sleep, and get up to an alarm or the sun or something, etc. I know theres not much now but there will be very very soon. And I already thought about thirst warnings, yes they will be added. The thing here is I have a lot of things going for me, and this game, right now. So the pk system will temperarily stey, until I get more into the game. Then, I may either remove it, or set it to default. But I will fix the bug ware players with no PK can't attack. Should be fixxed by tonight.

Hey ya all, I reloaded the bathroom event, it going offline was not our faults, it went booooom. But it's back now.

Hi Sam, I have a bug relating to translations:
Phrases like zones will be spoken, zones will not be spoken, tree, you don't see much around you, there are no trees around you etc. don't translate no matter what I do.

Hi Sam, you should set up a translation group so we all can discuss those issues in private.
