|The last 10 players healed are kept track of. Each time a new person is healed, the oldest name on the list is bumped off. A single player can only appear 2 times on the list. A [[Simucoin#F2P_Subscription_Items|healing pass]] increases this to 4 times. |
|||

|||
|An empath must first link (via TOUCH) to their prospective client. This linking process takes 30 seconds (15 with a healing pass). Once established, the link lasts for 3 minutes. All wound transfers done during this link are considered part of a single healing session (one entry on the above list). |
|||

As recently announced in the Free to Play ([[F2P]]) discussions, we're implementing a new feature for healing [[Empath]]s. You may now '''[[TOUCH]] <target> LINK''' to establish an Empathic Link with the target. For F2P Empaths without a Healing Pass, it takes 30 seconds to establish the link. For F2P Empaths with a Healing Pass or for non-F2P Empaths, it takes 15 seconds. While a link is established, it lasts for 3 minutes and no other Empath can transfer wounds from the target. An Empath may only have one link active at a time and each player can only be linked to one Empath at a time. The Empath or the target may [[UNLINK]] at anytime to end the link early. |
|||
'''F2P Empaths will be required to form an Empathic Link before they can transfer any wounds'''. This is optional and now live for any non-F2P Empaths. '''In the far future, this will be a requirement for all Empaths''', but not until we implement and review a number of other things with healing. This feature has always been on my list to implement, but as a much broader project. It'll be some time before I get to the latter, but I did want to warn everyone now. |

|Also, for the healing, it's sounding like the LINKing portion of healing is going to become a mandatory part of the system in the not-so-far-off future, with paid subscibers getting the 15-second form, and F2P subscribers keeping their 30-second form (sans pass, that is). I do agree, though, that something needs to be done with bleeders, so that patients can't bleed out while waiting for the empath to finish their LINKing roundtime. |

No, it's very far off before it's a requirement for all Empaths. You can expect there to be many skills and factors that will allow you to mitigate the perceived disadvantages of such a system. It is definitely possible for patients to bleed out while waiting for the link, but such a scenario is more hyperbole than reality. Yes, it can happen, but it's something that happens with any frequency. |
