A Workaround for Docking Fatalities

[color=#C2B280]Some players have reported crashes or sudden character death on docking. We’ll release a patch for this very soon, but for now, here’s how to avoid it: give your character a name which doesn’t contain any spaces or punctuation. So ‘Flyte’ rather than ‘Sebastian Flyte’. And certainly not so doubly inauspicious a name as ‘Frederick Tanah-Chook’.[/color]

Double-barrelled names can accidentally discharge during docking; passengers are advised to leave their names unloaded while travelling.

Once again, my usage of short, snappy character names such as “heck”, “aaa” and “zalor” has saved me from defeat. (The i in zailor is missing because I have a bad keyboard. if only i had an ipatch)

Oh! So that’s why I never saw those bugs!

Aha! Having but a single name saves me from trouble yet again!

Aha! I never noticed those bugs until I’ve died and made a character Klear II.
