We do, I guess, have that disconnect. Seeing as you can't
currently loose link in swamp, if your willing to loose
everything you've gained since your last save, either closing the
game via task manager or killing your internet connection will
save your char. Of course, this isn't always so easy to do as
pausing the game, (particularly if you use task manager) and it
can hurt quite a bit; but I'm more than willing to loose a couple
fuel and 1000 ammo instead of everything. Unfortunately, if you
don't remember or don't have the time to pull this off then your
quite stuck, and dead to boot.

Subject: Re: [Audyssey] swamp 2.2 thoughts
The trouble when comparing Swamp with other multi-player
shoot-'em-ups
is that Swamp is a continuous Swamp has an on-going world
structure.
Other shooters' multi-players are rather like Swamp's missions.
Those
can't be paused, but there isn't a main map where people can run
around and collect stuff. Most games simply have you spending
money
you get from missions for better stuff on other missions, if you
have
to spend anything at all. Swamp isn''t that type of game. You
literally can't make enough from missions to keep yourself
supplied
for missions. That is why I do not think it would be completely
unreasonable to have some sort of pause feature, or even a
temporary
disconnect that costs some reputation but keeps your character
intact.
I have three kids, one on the way, and I'm telling you right now
that
having a pause feature would be awesome, at least in the main
map.
Please keep in mind the differences between Swamp and most other
similar mainstream games, because they are neat ones fun ones,
but
they also may allow for a different level of consideration.

why not just load a wiki on the server?
I know they exist, never used one but there are some opensource
ones.

Good idea! Does anyone have any experience adding actual
wikipedia
pages? I see no reason we couldn't set up a Swamp one.
why not do a swamp wiki for weapons
and zombies? this way you can continue updating it as you go
without having to do a txt everytime.
