LVL required killing + other things..

[Externals]

Alright, so iv been reading around this whole section of PVP and such and have come to the conclusion.. it doesnt really look like PVP will be able in the PS land. But what would happen if there would be a parallel universe (maybe another PVP server) which you could travel about more freely but with other consiquences such as free PVP areas.

Now, iv been reading around and I saw the other PVP server thread but no one responded. I wanted to ADD to that here by setting a couple of rules that would make it fair\'er\'.

- You would have guards in town, except maybe in dark alleys .

- You would be on a different server or maybe a different parallel universe which looked the same only with PVP .

- Maybe have NPC\'s who travel every hour or so that could escort you. (NPC\'s would be strong but not invincible, but they would be killable) .  

- You would only be able to kill people 5 lvl\'s over you or under you unless with concent from the other person .

- If someone attacked you first, you could kill them without the guards killing you on sight. (Lets say someone hits you and apparently your stronger and want their evil end to stop and they run for their lives, the guards wont do anything in accordence to self-defense) .  

Well tell me what you think guys, just a few of my thoughts. (Perhaps some of these ideas could be inserted into the game instead of all of them. Any feedback.. hopefully nice, would be nice.)

Im a fan of PvP i agree with the guards and dark ally but not the portal idea.Having guards around on duty would be better like they more between town to town and only stop at camps to rest.Then players who wont to jouney safly follow them.

I didnt say anything about portals.. i was just refering the parallel universe in terms of another actual server. lol. Also, since people complain so much about higher lvls killing lower lvls, then why not make it a lvl difference to kill people. Ex: has to be like 5 lvls from the person he wants to target unless he gives consent to fight.

well i think thats a damn sight better than many other mmorpg\'s have done.  i love the idea of travveling with an npc. it is very good.   expect maybee there should be a varying number up to five npc\'s  of varying level so its still held in risk of being attacked.  

but other than that  its a good idea.

From what I have seen on this forum the server issue has been addressed.  PS will not have a PvP server.   The development teem is not concerned with making a game that thousands of people play.  They want a MMORPG that is actually has RPG in it.  Fracturing the community by having more than one world is not something they want.  However, I am not a member, and do not speak for the PS team.  I am just spitting back stuff I have seen.

I would also like to add, PS does not have conventional levels (maybe you noticed), so level restrictions would be more complicated than a 5 level cap.  I have also seen the level restriction idea exploited.    It allows lower level Greifers to kill without retribution from higher level players.  For instance. Your level 10 (your highest skill?)and a level 15 attacks you.  Now your level 200 guild leader can not protect you because of the level cap.

I would also like to invite you to one of the many threads on Guards and NPC\'s. In short NPC\'s make bad protectors.  Computer AI is just not that good.  Look at the current PS worlds Mobs and NPC\'s.
