No leaderboard please, we don't need to give the fratboys more pointless numbers to mindlessly obsess over. It's still football season, right?

I also don't like gear being looted from bags. If alt gear, clicky gear and such are going to be lootable, it will just result in everyone only using the gear they have on. It would limit our characters.. clerics choosing either to use stat gear or Donal's items, never both.

imo either make it RZ loot rules with no no drop items, or make it only cash things like gems, pumice, potions and wands that can be looted.

So you would rather risk having your worn items looted than your bagged ones? In one case bagged gear is safe and in the other worn gear is safe. And you are trying to argue that looting bagged items is too rough?

Think before you type.

I'm really not sure what you're trying t say :/

Under my suggestions, the players are put on something of an even playing field. Either you're always risking gear (removal of no drop tag, RZ loot rules) or you're just always risking whatever minor cash items you have on you.

If you allow people to loot gear that isn't worn, I feel you're giving an advantage to casters over melee characters. Making melee characters choose between utility or normal stat gear, while casters always have tons of utility and can still wear their stat gear. It would also mean using fun items less, like illusion masks for rogues and bards.

Really though, the RZ ruleset loot would not work here, it would just kill the population more. The only real way to include item loot, as I see it, is to make it so items like gems and potions are lootable.

Also suggest first implementing this in planar zones only.

No to pvp death causing xp loss

may work, may not, but its not needed for the success of the server and may be a cause for its decline.

No to pvp kill causing xp gain

not needed, may cause problems.

This. Real talk.

Oh lawd, who still takes SS's of killing people? That is so 2002.

I don't care about YT, but I think keeping global /ooc - at least early on - is a good idea. That way people can see which of their pals have made it to the promised land by finding them in one channel, instead of having to '/who all' constantly.

Also, especially early on, chat/actual grief will be to a minimum, as everyone will be trying to level moreso than talking shit + slaying each other.

[Rushmore]

please give us /ooc global

Is there a way to have 3 global channels so if your in Antonica you only get that global, Faydark, etc. ?

agree. very good reason to keep ooc for at least 1 month. newbs will have questions for the server also. everyone will be having a grand old time in ooc
