Locked up in rooms
« on: June 13, 2012, 09:06:12 AM »
It happens when people after logging out in certain rented rooms, but not owning a key, got trapped there eventually.
Lady's room is an exception where the door opens on the exit without having a key.

But Midway and the Governor hotel rooms are better prisons than the citadel, lol.
Is it possible to make these room locks pickable perhaps to offer a chance to leave? If someone is trapped in the Governor hotel, he cant leave without DM intervention, because no player can get a key to an already rented room (they are rented for RL days or weeks)

Thanks.

((And I am currently locked up in Midway [cries] ))

I second this request.  Some prevert [sic] kept locking Wyn in the Gov rooms! 

Well, it had more to do with my character not owning the room, but it'd be nice to be able to exit at least.

A quick fix is to go to your rest menu and select the OOC lounge teleport option then port back in when locked in a room. This will (hopefully) unlock the door for you to be able to leave. I have no idea if that works for certain rooms though like the ones mentioned though.

It does not in fact work for the rooms in the Midway Haven!

Some of the rooms in Midway have been broken since forever. and there is no way to get out without another PC, or a DM

Yeah.

Also the Governor Hotel is even more tricky if you can't get ahold of a DM. You are trapped there forever until the room owner comes around.

Well you know the answer to that then. Less cybers, more plotting (joking).  :_Nod__by_Xrodias: I hae noticed places like Midway often prematurely take the key off you and slam the door in your face when you approach the threshold.

Carry a Maul, most doors can be broken down, or use magical attack if you have it, against some doors it actually works.
(I was once locked inside the abandoned in, it was open i logged off, and logged back to be locked inside. I broke it down with the maul i found before the inn.:D)

Another thing that usually works:

Teleport to the OOC Lounge (from your rest menu; you're in a safe area) then teleport back. This will usually unlock the door.
