As we all know stun is one of the major bugs that never seems to be fixed. Nothing against the dev team (keep up the good work!) but ii feel that fixing stun is not alpha priority for them over new content and other fixes. So here is my suggestion.

Release the code portion for stun.

Now naturally this shouldn't go out to the whole world. OOO should send out an in game message to users who have shown to be mature asking if they have any coding experience. If so they can apply to be part of a group that will have exclusive access to a currently unused forum number. In order to get in they will awknoledge that they are held to a non-disclosure agreement and will not release the code upon penelty of legal action. If they accept there will be one thread with the coding relievent to stun.

Once a general consensus is reached the users will be given a one day access to th preview server with their revised code implemented. If there's any problems the process will repeat. If it does work but causes other problems a dev can take half an hour to see if it can be made compatible with the rest of the code.

I wish I knew enough about coding to help but there are some real smart people who play this game and some would give their left shivermist buster to see stun fixed.

If you want to troll please limit to one pony per post. Thank you

Edit:Fixed some grammar problems.

I think it would be easier and faster for Three Rings to just fix it themselves, especially as the suggestion requires them to check, insert, modify and test it themselves anyway.

Ummmmmm

release? part of their code? lol

I don't think they would ever do that. Anyway, making a bug report thread would be more apropos, right?

*cough*

Only one PONY? Man... that stinks. Anyway.
I feel that there could be 1 of 3 reasons why the devs have yet to fix stun.

Manpower:
They don't have enough people to work on stun and fix it quickly... but they're working on it.

Code:
It could be that the code for stun is twisted up... and when they attempt a fix for it, something breaks down about the status while they test it.

Lack of interest:
Due to stun being a rarely used status, the sheer lack of interest given by the community has caused the devs to move on to bigger projects.

As to releasing the code?

Good luck.

I'm sure they'll fix stun eventually enough... just wait 6 months, they're working at RSS, maybe stun will be on the list too.
