The S.S.Anne Questions

Post by Pocky4Life »

I need to know what the time frame to get on is? Like...do you have to be there five minutes or so before it leaves or what? I really need to know because it says it leaves at 3am my time so I'm hoping maybe it'll have a few hours boarding time before it leaves...

Otherwise I'm going to have to be sneaky

I just asked the same question to Pikachu3828 in the IRC chatroom - and basically he said you can sail any time within the 12 hour period it says, so for you, you can do it anytime between 3am and 3pm...

So you dont have to be on at 3am - if you want to do it at midday, or half 2 in the afternoon - you can

Travelling originally was a lot more complicated. People had to board at specific times, journeys took a certain length of time to reach their destination and while travelling people wouldn't be able to access anything. This soon got far too complex so it was scrapped for the much simpler that now exists.

I'm aware we have members from all over the world so I try to give timed events a large window of opportunity to make sure nobody misses out. There are a few events with windows of opportunity less than the S.S Anne's 12 hours but I plan to add numerous events of this nature at all different times of the day so there are plenty events for everybody no matter what time of day they play and it also acts as little surprises if you play at an unusual hour for your timezone :wink:

As long as there will be warning of such timed events :-? I have mixed feelings about surprises.

On one hand it's nice for those who happen to find them but those who want to try and be on for them tend to miss out ^^' But hey it's your choice how to do things and this is just my opinion

There's no warning for some of them but that said I'm sure once someone finds something news will probably spread.

It does tend to work that way doesn't it? Now I'll have to check in a few times a day to see if anything's new
