Thanks! :{{: Citan==== Instances? ====:"Zergs are ruining the game we need instances naow" : well, there will never be instances in Project: Gorgon for the simple reason that the game server doesn't support instances. :: http://projectgorgon.com/forum/general-gorgon-discussion08/1055-dungeon-feedback-needed?start=10#7888==== Killing broken mobs? ====: "Yes, we do consider it an exploit, though it's understandable that you can't always tell what's happening, so we don't get upset if you just kill a few before realizing they're broken. It's when you kill broken bosses that it gets problematic.: The broken AI subservers will eventually be auto-detected by the main server, and fixed automatically (and you won't get any loot09/XP from broken monsters in the mean time)... but we haven't gotten that implemented yet." :: Citan==== Topic ====::: Source==== Topic ====::: Source==== Topic ====::: Source==== Topic ====::: Source==== Topic ====::: Source==== Topic ====::: Source==== Topic ====::: Source==== Topic ====::: Source==== Topic ====::: Source==== Topic ====::: Source==== Topic ====::: Source==== Topic ====::: Source==== Topic ====::: Source==== Topic ====::: Source==== Topic ====::: Source==== Topic ====::: Source==== Topic ====::: Source==== Topic ====::: Source==== Topic ====::: Source==== Topic ====::: Source==== Topic ====::: Source==== Topic ====::: Source==== Topic ====::: Source==== Topic ====::: Source==== Topic ====::: Source==== Topic ====::: Source==== Topic ====::: Source==== Topic ====::: Source==== Topic ====::: Source==== Topic ====::: Source==== Topic ====::: Source==== Topic ====::: Source==== Topic ====::: Source==== Topic ====::: Source==== Topic ====::: Source==== Topic ====::: Source==== Topic ====::: Source === Silvonis's Forum Posts ======= Topic ====::: Source==== Topic ====::: Source==== Topic ====::: Source==== Topic ====::: Source==== Topic ====::: Source==== Topic ====::: Source==== Topic ====::: Source==== Topic ====::: Source==== Topic ====::: Source==== Topic ====::: Source==== Topic ====::: Source==== Topic ====::: Source2015 Town Hall Meeting}}
