-
Q1: Will it work if we tell a story to the keepers in English? or how we will know the keeper understand English?
Q2: How we will know the duration of a blocked account if it has not shown on "http://motronline.com/banlist" ?
-
A1: Can't really say for this moment, but I'm afraid it won't work.
A2: It's called a GM ban, they are all permanent and done by (*) marked 8 section rules. Normally you won't be blocked this way. -
Huh.
@PwnageFactor:
Q1: Will it work if we tell a story to the keepers in English? or how we will know the keeper understand English?
There I found a good way how u can do it!1)Make on ur computer file.txt.
2)Find in google "russian dictionary".
4)Copy as many words as u want from it. After past in your file.
5)Then..take these words and make a sentence from it. Don`t metter how u do it, just u need to make the first letter of sentence wth caps lock and put some commas where u want( 1 sentence(diffrent words) + commas 3~4 diffrent place+ point or exclamation mark...etc)It looks like this:
Дерево, фонарь фонтан улыбаться красота любовь ужас игра компьютер, музыка мечты никотин. send it in chatThis sentence has no sence But it contain Some words and Punctuation marks! Make such sentences more then 50(after u`ll be copy them from ur file and past in a game).
And the keeper
s bot will "eat" them as the real story! ;) He can
t understand has ur story some sence or not. All that he need is to catch more words in a story no metter how they will past after each other.I hope u understood this way frm my words..
Try ur copypast , rus dictionary and a little time.
-
This way of translation will cause horrible results)
-
Mama Mia, i like it
-
@Mama-Mia:
And the keeper`s bot will "eat" them as the real story!Keepers are not real people?
-
Sorry if I break your "dream bubble".
Keeper is, in fact, a human. -
They are. But it´s theoreticaly possible to write such a mess this way, that a keykeeper with a certain sence of humor will accept it(being a fan of Charlie the Unicorn, I would accept Дерево, фонарь фонтан улыбаться красота любовь ужас игра компьютер, музыка мечты никотин, lol). Though the chance is very low)
-
Oh really?
Is keeper a real?
So how can it be!? He sitting all day long and reading stories??
awesome..i cant belive it ;) Cause there were nearly 4 o
clock morning(after deep night) we told the keeper a lot of silly simple words and doubled our map.
Actually how can it be if he is real?Or maybe he was borried by nothing doing this time?
P.s. If he is real human , let him open online-translator for example
To translate all stories frm eng.Else....;) Try to find in Google : "Funny russian stories for kids".
Do the same....copypast!
-
Keepers are normal players, who applied for becoming keykepers, got some special rights and read stories when they are online in order to decide, whether the story is good enough to double mobs. And normally the story must be reaaly good, lots of stiries are not accpted.
The keykeeper you´ve told the story to must have been bored a lot and found the pack of words funny
-
So read the upper post.
Decision: find russians` stories by google for kids and correctly copypast for keeper read it. -
@"Mama-Mia":

No, you should not do that. That's called plagiarism and such stories are not acceptable. You *must *write your own story or poem that is related to the Ragnarok's world. -
The stories have to be related with ro somehow. And keepers actually check in google, if u have copypasted the story. There has been even an announcement, that u can be banned for that kind of plagiarism.
-
U all try to say in vualation that international players have no need to buy super-premium ^^ right?
-
Keeper is not the only benefit of superpremium.
You may try next steps:
- Write own story. Don't copy it from google or somewhere else.
- Ask a friend (who fluently talks in russian) to translate text in russian.
- Tell keeper translated story.
Also ask keeper if he can accept english story. If he declines to listen story in english, then use translated story.
-
@"Mama-Mia":

I'm sorry, could you please read everything that has been said on the previous page one more time and express your thoughts more clearly?No one said that it's a violation for English speaking players to use the Keeper feature. A violation is to deliberately plagiarize someone else's work in order to benefit from it.
If you have been reading the attached topics (and I see you have, because you used your opportunity to post in almost every single one of them), you would see that there is a link to premium and super premium features list, but it hasn't been yet translated due to a lack of time.
-
Dear,I have no need in traslation this keeper)cause i speak rus
I just want to understand how can international players use features which they pay for.)) -
@"Mama-Mia":

Well, then how about you stick to the Russian forums instead of posting in the international section because your English is very difficult to understand?International players have the same reasons as the Russian speaking players to purchase the super premium package, because it offers a lot of additional features. Since you understand Russian, please go ahead and read the list of bonuses for the list of features available under the premium and super premium packages.
The issue with lack of the English speaking keepers has been raised in one of the Russian speaking forums, you can navigate yourself there and post all your comments and concerns.
-
Maybe it would be wise for GMs to get some English speaking keepers then? I don't see what the problem is, really. I'm sure there would be more than enough people willing to help.
