Default Kings and Bandits coming back

Seasons
Season 1: March 18th 2016 (Friday) - October 18th 2016 (Tuesday)
Season 2: October 21st 2016 (Friday) - April 21st 2017 (Friday)

Specifications:
- 2 box limit
- players start in their home town (by race).
- Player forced to pick team at lvl 5 (or cannot move further)
- 2 teams (no home city, established later when players take one over)
- No kunark/velious, lvl 50 max. Old world only and expand off it.
- able to loot cash, pvp coin/points
- pve/pvp respawn with corpse wearables + items. Corpse will remain for rezzing.

- Only erudin, felwithe, freeport are takeable (maybe allow qeynos later). Cities start neutral (all players can go to the city despite team, once taken they can be controlled).

- Reset Nexus as starting point upon PVP death (PVE death remains in normal world)
* A location is needed of neutral ground where the player cannot be attacked and thus the 'spawn camping' is not possible.

- Nexus becomes neutral world hub again (enable teleport points back to the world).
* No limits on time staying in Nexus, we want players to remain online. Encourage incentives to get them out of neutral ground (Bazaar, Nexus, Shadowhaven are the only neutral zones)
* Available teleports to main continents (south ro, tox, commonlands, gfaydark, butcherblock, north karana)
* Upon drop down from nexus divine aura (still under consideration, but likely).
* Players will also be able to return to bind from nexus (assuming no lockout applies at the time). Plus returning to their home cities/camps.

- Provide soulstone item nexus amulet to player (30sec cast time)

- Bazaar becomes PVP point/traidng hub again
* Return PVP point traders to bazaar. Neutral ground is necessary for turn-in. Some 'bonus' pvp item vendors may not apply depending on devnoob's decisions.

- Replenishing returns objective (done):
* longer presence of players in a zone causes mobs in following respawns to have higher chance of drops/cash/etc.
* higher chance of rarer mobs to spawn.
* slightly increased respawn times.

Custom Zones (done)
- Return bothunder in lavastorm with its custom content.
- Return miragulschamber in everfrost with its custom content.
- Return westwastelands in oasis with its custom content.
- return rujb (Pinnacle Cave) in nexus with its custom content.

Season Details
- 6 month season (open->close)
- Main world is reset as if it was a new world
- Tracking of leadership board over seasons.
- Titles or some other perk for top 3 players of leaderboard each season?

Additional ideas (not yet completed, under consideration):

- optional patcher offered to setup custom server files and revert to defaults
- Introduce other possible bonuses in city types plus those starred above, such as:
* Reduced Re-use cooldowns on teleport hubs?
* Reduced respawn time on guards in cities/camps?
* etc

Anti plugging code was pretty high on the list last I saw, although to be honest plugging really wasn't that big of a problem from what I saw on the last server.

Didn't nilbog say it was an easy fix? To simply have the character come out as LD on the other side? It was avoided here because it wasn't classic and arguably deters pvp.

On topic: Kings and Bandits have been real fun in the past, image and devnoob are great when they are active and stay involved (which they usually do). These servers are largely dependant on how many ppl play them though, like any eqemu pvp. A server like this can be great even with only 100 on in primetime and with red99 seemingly entering a dark age, this is a good time to open one.
