How to remove the build up of lag inducing corpses on Spawn?

[kimbuck 746]

The  genius-ses at P! are deviously  thinking of  ways to purge spawn of the unwanted   abandoned corpses  that  build up  there.   The  area gets  denuded rapidly  and often huge   structures  are built by one off players  that  lag the   area badly.

The P1 team always put in  some  magical chairs  that can  whisk  you away to  another island , thus   sharing the population load  around the grid., but  alas   most  do not use it,  preferring to  try and build at  spawn and getting their building  raided/destroyed  by  griefers.

So whats planned?

Well discussions are underway  on how to persuade people to   leave spawn ..and to  set up a  base  somewhere else. Defaulters will be " de-spawned"  after a  certain period of   inactivity.

One is to place spawn on  an  un-hospitable   island, with  no  place to build .. you  have to use a magical  chair to   move to  an island that  supports  life.

otherwise    you  freeze to death ..and   despawn.

Another  proposal   being considered  is that if  you do move to another   island,   just sitting there counting your freckles will see you  despawn  if you do not have  somewhere  with a PB  set up to protect yourself.

And their are more  suggestions   being    tossed  into the   hat  for  consideration.

So what does this  mean? 

 ....simply   read the  notices ,   and get in a chair to  go to another island... then asap  start a base with your PB  active.   Else  end  up  removed  from the game.

If you are one of  those that use other players  hard work,   if you are offline  without  PB  protection,  you   could  end up  losing  all the  stuff you made/stole/borrowed/  and end  up in your  undies  back at  spawn ....   to start over again.

Its  going to be interesting to see  whats  implemented,  and   what the  effects  are.  For those  who are serious players and not   in the game to simply "stir" ...it  will make the game  more  enjoyable.

@kimbuck it would be great if the bodies despawned.  In other games I play, you are only "there" if you are online. This seems doable. I don't know why ylands doesn't.

Well the   new  game  on the P1   pve  server  has started  and   its got  something that should  weed out the real  players  from the   one-off-ers.

You spawn  on a platform int the middle of the ocean surrounded  by shark infested  waters . You do have some  basic items   such as  a map   flint lighter,  clothing  etc.

If you really  want to play the game,  then read the instructions .. rules   etc  posted nearby and  then  sit in a  chair that's  marked with the  type  of island .. ,  and you get whisked away  to  that island  to  start your  adventure.

Otherwise you  just sit  there   until the  cleaners  come  through at the end of  the  day and  toss you out  with the trash
