In the new data miner spawns, is the time before the spawn disappears meant to be a part of the challenge of killing them or is it just a safeguard to keep people from leaving high level NPCs everywhere? The reason I ask is that a group of, say, 10, while large enough to take down the Tengu spawn at a pretty rapid pace, is still not enough to take down each level 60 before they disappear leaving you with nothing.

I suppose it's meant to be part of the challenge, but I doubt Dracomet intended it to be prohibitively restrictive. Possibly some tweaking is in order, I dunno.

Is it wise to be returning to old LESIG stories like 991 since there are still people out there with leaked information that could potentially ruin the whole thing, or have you and LESIG 2.0 tweaked them so the stories are different?

I mean, even if the stories were changed, aren't you worried about the originators being hassled for details they may or may not know anymore?

I really don't know what you're talking about.

Yeah, me neither, now that I'm thinking about it. My bad.

I think I was wondering something about the big LESIG leaks back then and those people that are still in LESIG that have to cope with people knowing their positions... but I guess I wasn't thinking clearly when I phrased the question.

However, it does bring up another LESIG-related question: Mainly, the server issues. Liasions can't have their mains be on the same server, but what about side-plot LESIG characters, like Scanline or the various characters from Unlimit / Smithpill incidents? Are non-liasion LESIG 2.0 personnel allowed to venture out onto more than one server like the old LESIG, or are the restrictions written in stone?

I don't think you're on a need-to-know basis on that one.

Any chance that this could happen? (my post there)

They aren't scheduled to be in the game until update 54. So in theory we'd be mailing them out in-game some time after that.

So who is and who isn't allowed to free people from the Matrix right now in the story?
