Open PvP that we players can do ourselves RIGHT NOW!

[Fayodin]

Okay for this there needs to be no more implementation or anything.  What we could do is have the players who WANT to have open pvp go into options and turn on their auto-accept for challenges.  Then in their description for the first line in brackets could write something like [open pvp]  or [open pvp outside towns only].  This will allow people pro open pvp to utilize it and those against stay out of it.  You still however would have to challenge the opposer but it would be accepted automatically.  The defender in this case would know he is being attacked by the little thing in the system window 'you have accepted [name's] challenge'.

If you like this idea, we can set a date and time to start it where everyone goes to auto-accept.

[Karyuu]

What for? Where is all this aggressiveness is coming from? Are Hydlaa and Ojaveda cities of criminals?

[Samoth]

Why wait to set a date - just turn on your auto-accept RIGHT NOW! 

Seriously, maybe players who have auto-accept on can have different colored name labels.  That way all the criminals can kill each other off much more quickly 

[Karyuu]

This is not a PvP game, and the cities are not cities of criminals. Any fighting in the public streets are frowned upon very much. So if you want to fight because you have a blood-thirsty character (not because you want to pwn someone), I had better see you RP that way all the time

[Samoth]

Those are two great points.

Public fighting is very rude, especially with all the x hits y messages.

Also maybe for RP, auto-accept challange setting needs to be chosen at player creation.  So it is one all the time for that character.  Just add a blood-thirsty career path - or beaten by parents history choice.

[minetus]

a character can see things he does wrong/right and evolve acording to its choice much like in real life
why delineate a characters path at creation?
cant a murderer eaver repent himself? or cant a peacefull character eaver go in a enraged fury?

[Faolach]

Maybe just as a kindness, people should only use a lot of autoaccept pvp outside cities or as an rp element... after all, RP is important. The only people who should do this are the people who are good at RPing and will only attack for an ingame reason. That way no implementation is needed and RP *should* be kept (so no random killing on the streets).

[Robinmagus]

But random killings on the streets are realistic, are they not? We don't live in some kind of angelic glen here. Real big city, let's see those low speed drive by arrowings...errr..I guess.

[Fayodin]

i agree with you robinmagus.  We live in a big city.  what big city is there no crime?? 

[Karyuu]

Crime =/= constant murders in the open public.

[Fayodin]

= gives us good aligned guilds smoething to RP against.

[Karyuu]

=/= realism. We still have guards whose job is to keep the peace in public.

[Anne Ominous]

ignoring the killing people in the city, is it a crime/realistic option question... if you just do it that when you want to play as a criminal & get the life killed out of you like one so you have something like "you evaluate that Sue Icidal is wearing prisoner garb, broken manacles, and is covered in blood, clearly an escaped criminal [duels are set to auto-accept]" you add "...[duels are set to auto-accept; in keeping with player policy please do not attack within city areas]. That seems reasonable.

[LinkN64]

Maybe(eventually, mind you....)there should be some part in the arena where there is a room(or an added story) where you have auto accept...there is a warning before entering the door, and then you coud take out your blood-thirsty rage there... it's not random fighting on the streets but it's still barbaric and primitive, just the way ya like it.    ._.

[Anne Ominous]

I'm pretty sure the room of the arena is an idea akin to (and would go well as an addition to) the idea for areas designated as pk zones.
