Penalty For Hopping?

[Bounty Hunter 16]

In the new patch notes for the experimental branch it looks like they're starting to introduce some sort of penalty for server hopping! Might be a little useful for those shameful ghosting bandits but I don't think it'll stop it completely. At least its a step in the right direction for now  :D

 

" Login: Player queuing system introduced. Penalty waiting time added for switching server or disconnecting a server quickly. "

EDIT: 

 

On another note what else do you think could be done?

Regarding Ghosting & combatlogging? You could look at this:

Edit: This 30 second timer will be afaik additional to the  queing system.

And also: Ha. This time I'm the ninja :)

Basicly they are gonna start witha  30 sec timer, so you log out and your char is still there for 30 secs.
Lets see how it goes, the next week, on experimental.

If all goes well, its gonna be put into stabile :)

If you server hop...you get a night in the box

 

If you combat log...you get a night in the box

 

If you wear violet canvas shorts...you get a night in the box

we'll see what happens! hopefully this'll discourage some of the server hoppers and give an advantage to players that don't hop in combat

As much as this will help on server hoping, i think its more pointed towards ghosting and combat logging :)
But we will have to see how it unfolds, once it hits stabile branch.

And damn you LaughingJack, i never saw it comming ;)

I'm somewhat evil, I wouldn't have a que timer if you log out and change servers too quickly.  There would be a timer (300 seconds) where if you change servers your character is reset.  If you reconnect to the same server there would be no penalty.
