    Well I am not sure you guys are in game often currently/anymore, all who post here, unless you are in the gungame server.

    I'm just thinking there might be a sort of bandwagon effect going on with little evidence that it disrupts the server. Sort of like, oh yeah I heard this, now let me say it too, it must be a fact because everyone else claims it is, but also because the people who started saying it have authority or are an authority on the subject. Either way the reason its bad is because everyone said it is, and its become a tradition that it is. But not necessarily because there is actual physical evidence of it being bad anymore. Gravity might have screwed with the server ages ago, and it might still on ZM maps. But I am not sure its having any effect on ZE maps.

    What I am starting to suspect is that there might be some type of misunderstanding.

    I've heard from people who said you can go into oblivion.
    Okay maybe but ZE maps have tons of invisible barriers, and only if you give zombies gravity could they be shot into oblivion, and a majority of the time if its a ZM map, would it enable things like 'falling off the map' Which sometimes, on certain ZM maps, I can do this regardless, with no gravity (can't look up the names of the zm maps now). Either way we all agree gravity on ZM = bad and gravity on zombies = bad.

    I've heard that gravity screws vendy machines on ZM maps or enable players who are high up to shoot vendy machines out of their cade position, and the vendy will fly like it weighs nothing.
    But we all agree gravity on zm is bad.

    I've heard from people who said, it causes and requires server restarts.
    All I can do here is take your word for it. I used gravity for a week like I said, and nothing was required to get the server back to normal since nothing was abnormal. Setting a players gravity back to normal always worked. The map had no glitches or disruptions in anyway and the objectives were met, and it didn't seem more or less challenging for humans to win. THIS is the very reason it was a big surprise to me when everyone told me setting gravity is bad/harmful.

    I've heard that it was challenging to get things back to normal from StarsMine.
    Now this comment is what leads me to believe there is some misunderstanding going on between when or how the server gets screwed. This makes me think that StarsMine, actually typed the command !rcon_whateverthecommandis 800, to set gravity across a whole map for some reason. And I am thinking this is what screws the server. This is not what I've done or would do. I don't touch gravity across the map, i just set 1 persons gravity using the admin menu, without typing commands. So It would just be nice to know is everyone 100% positive that using the in game !admin menu has the same effect of screwing the server over? That is if you all go in game now type !admin, select 1. players (by pushing 1 on y our keyboard) and then push 9, and select gravity, and then select a player, and then choose 5. for very low gravity. 100% positive this fucks the server? And what percentage of the time? 1%? Because it would have to be since I've been setting players gravity low for a week now with no adverse effects. I am not saying 1% is acceptable at all. 1% IS 1 time too many, and maybe I was lucky. But I just prefer discussions based on facts, not opinions, or heresy.

    Also why not just remove the command? Isn't the command to bring players back to life/spawn players removed/disabled?
