My local mode has 20 toons, all copies from the same one.

Well, that is interesting.

Well, at least you have options now.

It seems to be an automatic lottery backup feature, working as intended

Weird problem. Can I ban local mode yet? Maybe in season 2... in any case this should be fixed tonight.

I don't see why local mode exists?

Legacy holdover. That's all that existed for a long time.

I think you should dump Legacy mode tbh.

It's confusing for anyone that might make their way here by typing nevergrind.com into a browser window and unknowingly end up gimped on local mode.

Default should absolutely be Server Mode.

But I already fixed this bug. Ya, you are probably right. Supporting it is a drain and it segments the user base.

Have you though? Typing nevergrind.com into my browser takes me straight to local mode.

Nono, I mean the "duplicated" character bug in local mode. It's not live yet. In any case, I think I'll redirect.... soon. I just wanted to be sure server mode was fully embraced. I think we're well beyond that.

Justice be done, may the heavens fall.

I'd like to plead for turning this into a standalone offline mode instead. No fixing or upgrading ever, just whatever it is now, "if you must" mode.

I know it'd be a long way down the to do list but ..... /beg

Out of curiosity, why? Airplane mode?

Yeah partially that, partially preserving the "single player game" feel as Nevergrind Proper slides more towards MMO mode*, partially packrat/nostalgia for the pre-server toons I have that I still enjoyed playing

(* I love the server mode and the idea of mail/trade/even chat and the leaderboards and whatnot, but sometimes.... )

I dunno. I have no good reasons. I just miss it already

I have considered making an "installable version" of Nevergrind. A lot of game websites require you to upload an installable version, which basically means no server-side code. It would all have to be html, css, and javascript. This in itself would be quite a bit of work as so much of the game talks to the server and/or the database. Quite frankly there's a lot about it I don't understand. Would the local storage API still work? Would sounds work? I feel like it would be a big time investment for something I'm not sure would even pan out.

Local version would be 100% hacked tho

If it was standalone/local it wouldn't matter if people wanted to hack it, wouldn't affect anyone but them

Mael - ok, no worries, if it's a lot of work then..... RIP and I shall grieve quietly over here......

Suvana what i meant was, there would be no point to pay him money if people can just hack themselves crystals or whatever they needed.
