Please Remove The Advice Channel Anti Spam Blockage

I was one of the first 25 non Mythic employees to play the game and have a lot of knowledge to share but it is really annoying to see a new player whos never even played DAoC before (insane right?) have a ton of questions I can answer an noone else is yet I cannot reply but every 3 minutes or whatever that timer is on? Yet I can spam any other channel? The main convo's are going on in /advice but its impossible to keep up with questions with this seemingly needless anti spam protection. Because jsut today a csr from the game logged in an told everyone in /advice that a guild leader who had everyone complaining about him and spamming for his guild every 5 minutes but the csr said he could do so freely an its not against tos.



So why have a spam filter at all????? Just remove it as trying to help people with a simple quick answer is now impossible by this useless spam protection in one channel.



Also when getting on any horse while in shade form with a pet as a Necromancer, the pet immediately disappears and one of 2 things happen:

1 the pet just disappears as if dismissed and the pet has to be recast when the destination is reached which is kind of a pain but not horrific or even worse....

2 the pet disappears as before BUT Im still in shade form even after arriving yet the pet window has dropped an the pet no longer exists as far as the game is concerned yet im still in shade form with no pet nor can i cast one until I log out an back in.


Just a heads up guys.


Also where are the servers for this freeshard located? I get terrible lag that might actually make the game unplayable due to the red latency square I get every few minutes that lasts for 15-30 seconds and everything I can check on my end tells me my internet is fine for everything else but this game, so the servers are located abroad?

Agree with the /advice spam protection, it is worse than useless, in that it stops people from decrying trolls. "What is the best Armsman spec for levelling?" "Full xbow!" and then you can't deny that if you have helped anyone else recently.

I have started sending tells to people instead, but that doesn't help anyone else that probably has the same question. I get that the devs don't want to have to police it, maybe appoint some player mods who can only mute people for like 10 minutes of something?

Server is in Germany BTW, and there is a known issue with some US providers (If you are in the US, that may explain the issues. I am in Canada and haven't noticed anything regularly.)

You could always send them a /t without any restrictions. Just sayin.

I literally just addressed that

Was reply to the first post, just didn't quote it. I agree the restriction should be shorter, but it was a bit of a problem (on hib anyway) seeing advice spammed non stop. I literally couldn't even read tells sent to me sometimes. I think it should be like 10 seconds or so.
