a mindless AI? that sounds like an oxy moron to me (not to be rude)

"mindless artificial INTELLIGENCE" but then again maybe your seeing something i am not.

i wouldnt think that low of it as it is since it is able to grow and learn like AI's (maha and aura for example)

I'm talking more of an NPC. They do not have the ability to learn, only to recieve instructions.

*stupid question alert*

whats an NPC?

A Non Player Character. Any character in a game that isn't being controlled by a human is an NPC. NPCs in the World include the monsters, shopkeepers, and Grunties.

Of course, sometimes the Admin's switch into the shopkeepers.

only when they think they need to be authorized into something

kinda makes u wonder... if there were so many people in the Crimson Knights how come you dont see any around...even though they did disband its not like their character is changeble?

They probably quit.. or they changed their skins... to something else.

I don't think the Crimson Knights log on until they're needed. They probably have some meeting place in a field or something. Or maybe another root town (How many servers are there?)

Why would the administrators turn into shopkeepers? It's the most boring job in the world.
Hello, may I help you? Certainly sir! You do not have enough money for that. Blah blah blah. Blah blah blah.

to keep a eye on some one suspicous that can be a nuisance to "The World" like what they do to Kite

En der · Post by **En der** » Wed Apr 14, 2004 6:22 pm

i thought that was the crimson knights job... oh wait, you said Kite. Well, I guess you're right. Still, being a shopkeeper is boring.

The Crimson Knights were disbanded by that point, remember?

And, like they said above, to keep an eye on someone. There's nothing you pay less attention to then an NPC shopkeeper. Makes the Admin practically invisible, and he can listen in.

yeah, people would assume the shopkeepers are NPC, so they blabber all they want.

mvrckbass · Post by **mvrckbass** » Wed Apr 14, 2004 8:59 pm

yeah especially the "talk" option on the shopkeepers, its just to prove that they are NPC's so they dont make the players wonder "how come they can talk now, all of a sudden? they might just think they are doing an upgrade on the chracter or its on the fritz...

Sometimes the administrators will just make themselves look like a shopkeeper and walk around like any other player. For example, Lios rarely went near a counter in his shopkeeper form.

thats true he did do that in //Infection in the dungeon with Linda

he only does it twice (for different reasons) to hand u a "prize" and to give u ur missions...
