Hi,

Was just playing on Gyruss and used the .explodeme command and respawned, but then suddenly I was at the main menu, and when I clicked continue game I was in space. Then when I tried to go to "last world" it said connecting to reina roja, followed by enter password... I can now no longer see Gyruss on the galactic map, what's hapenned and how do I get back to Gyruss???

Might be a problem with how Gyruss changed systems. If you havn't redeemed/spent credits on anything, you can use !resetme while in space to move between the systems without using Iridium. If you have gained credits, you'll need to considder if it's worth it to try and get to 14 credits in your current system, or reset and lose those credits. One should note that when you do reset it also resets what worlds claim you have exchanged, so you can always get those credits back. It also resets your space inventory, so if you have an infimp drive, it's better to use that, After you reset you'll have the normal stardrive and 6 Iridium. You can reset as many times as you want.

Gyruss is just a big body of water now.

I don't get why gyruss keeps moving... its like it has a planety desaster that moves it into diffrent soler systems every month lol.

Hmm...I've notice planets like to spin around the sun,like the solar system,but planets moving back and forth?

Gyruss migrates south for the winter

here's how it works, becuase it is naturaly imposible for a planet to change systems. All the engineers worked together to build an infinite improbabilty drive, with a boiling cup of tea. Then they use it to move the planet to another system, until they reach the perfect position.

It's really not hard to understand once you have a firm grasp of basic astral physics... However in order to properly explain it to anyone I'd need 4 pigs, a mule, a peanut butter and jelly sandwitch, about 60 grams of platinum, a beartrap, and a sharpened #2 pencil. Of course it would take 4 years (26280 hours, 16 hours a day, no break) to do it, with the going rate of $12.45 an hour, that's roughly $300,000 plus materials and travel fees, I'm not running a charity afterall. Maybe it's better to simply accept that it has changed systems, and leave it at that, for both our sakes.

*passes Vagrant 4 pigs, a mule, a peanut butter and jelly sandwitch,60grams of platinum, a beartrap, a sharpened #2 pencil and $600,000us at 2007 exchange rates (only cost me £10)*

Ok, now explain it please.

Morli already did it... I want some explanation

it was probably moved to tau because mit wants to keep simple worlds in cirrus minor. if thiers good playable worlds in cirrus, then new players wont be as encouraged to buy an inf imp and explore the galaxy. if thiers no real in-depth worlds in cirrus, then a player will probably more likely get the inf imp or star drive to see whats in the other systems. also, if thiers simple worlds in cirrus, then a new player will be able to play them easier and get the hang of the game faster then if they were thrust into a complex economy where they might end up starving to death before learning the game unless somebody is thier to teach and guide them along.

although...i can't really imagine trying to train a new player in roja

oonska's right. its all to do with the thermaldynamics of a nice, hot cup of tea

Thanks for spoiling it, I was going to get 10 pounds and a trip to the UK, plus espenses while I was there for 4 years. Oh well, lets me do something else than avoid the issue and the complicated legal battle that would follow.

...get frustrated, and bugger off to the next MMO in the list.

yea, or that

thiers a positive and negative to everything.

but, seeing how the start system will contain tutorial worlds that will explain about space, star drives, and system travel, that might not happen nearly as easily.

Morli · Post by **Morli** » Sat Jan 08, 2005 12:25 am

Once those systems are in place, maybe.

Until then, there will be a lot of churn still, and you never know what those disaffected players might be representing.
