FMIDDY is right, I think there should be a KO system in the game. That way nobody would get hurt \"for real\" and there would be more room for thiefes who wanna steal.
I wanna have a \"stamina\" meter so that you can knock a player out instead of PK him (I don\'t want PKing either) Read my thread \"meters\" for more info
However there\'s some problems..and some solutions as well...
Problem 1- If you\'re in town and somebody team up, attack you and steal all your stuff and your clothes leaving you on the ground, would other players attack the team to recover your stuff or just knock the team out and steal their stuff AND your stuff?
I can just imagine a big fight in town where everybody runs around and steal each others stuff.
Solution- Put some guards in town which will stop people from stealing from you. (of course it isn\'t impossible)
They use the same tecnique to KO the thiefes.
Then the thief have to pay a fine. If the thief is poor and have got no money then the guards simply take everything he\'s got, beat him up, and leaves him on the ground (even his clothes)
Problem 2- If you are close to a monster and a thief Knocks you out...will the monster kill you when you wake up?
This would be some kind of a PK system, and it would be unacceptable.
Solution- I think that some monsters (like goblins if there\'s any) simply captures the player, steal all his stuff (if he had any) and then throw the player into a dungeon or something.
Then the player had to get out, either by himself, or he/she could get help from another player.
There should be a message-board in town where you could offer rewards for the bounty-hunter who captures him and bring him to you (so that you can bring him to court or something)
