    This guy gets it.

    Not that it could even happen but in my perfect world there would be no wipe and everyone would have to choose just ONE of their toons; and only play with that.

    Ouch, this seems to be a serious problem. The Force was too strong for the SSDs. Thanks, good luck and courage to the team working on this.

    In that perfect world of yours, how long did it take for the entire game economy to collapse?
    Because in the real world I'd give it a few months before current stock runs out, and chances are pretty decent that the amount of people that chose their crafters as that ONE toon will not be enough to get it back up.
    Perhaps a few will! But in the end many will grow bored of doing nothing else and they will change profession or leave all together.

    I'm getting the sneaky suspicion that the division between people that want 1 or 2 characters and those that want more is the division between consumers and producers.

    Yup. Those who say no-one would ATK an Ent full time presumably never played live.

    People on live didn't grow bored of it. If people stop crafting others will see their chance and change to fill the niche. That's the beauty of limiting characters to one, or begrudgingly.. 2.

    Which brings me back to:

    If you have *nix (or whatever generic access to something BASH-like), you could install an MTA and do this:

    Code:
    while : ; do
         if [ $(wget -O - https://www.swgemu.com/status/basilisk.xml 2>/dev/null | xpath -e '//status/text()' 2>/dev/null | grep -o 'up') ]; then
              message=$(echo -e "Server is showing it's up now.\nCheck https://www.swgemu.com/forums/showthread.php?t=198679 to confirm.\nThis message generated: $(date)")
              echo "$message" | mail -s "Server's up!" you@youraddress.com
              break
         fi
         sleep 60
    done
    Edit: inb4 someone says to use printf instead of echo

    And that tells me that you were likely not a crafter on live.

    Every high-end, dedicated crafter I knew on my server had at least 2 accounts. Paying double the monthly charge, everything.
    Heck, I moved last year and I found 3 sealed copies of Jump to lightspeed!
    Good times.

    I had a Architect/Armorsmith/Merchant on live. And if that was the only character I had, I would not remember it so fondly.

    I played live from start to finish, an extraordinarily small amount of people would play an ATK entertainer if a character limit of two was established on this server. To suggest anything otherwise is delusional. 99% of the entertainers were AFK precu too, and I didn't know one person playing an entertainer that didn't have a secondary account.

    There wasn't enough of a reason then to play entertainer. There still isn't now, and there are significantly less people playing. An argument can be made for it for Suncrusher, but for the purpose of Basilisk, anyone suggesting a character limit of two simply doesn't understand what they are trying to accomplish here.

    I was for a long time someone who couldn't decide on a profession. On live I played literally all of the combat professions for a short time each. I played Tailor and Image Designer but none of the other crafters. Did scout, ranger and CH (never bothered with SL). In the end I had more fun playing Dancer than anything else, and I still was when the CU hit. Not sure if that adds to this exchange.. Think I'm just rambling and reminiscing now...

    I had 7 accounts and I STILL wasn't completely independent. I relied on crafters better than me for much of my stuff, and just enjoyed dinking around making stuff that was 90% of SB to sell to folks who didn't want to pay for 100%.

    Folks are getting bored? Heh, yes. Real Life chores take over, take out the trash and make sure that rattling screen is tightened down before you rip it out of the wall, etc.
