Title: PK while travelling
Post by: Skain on May 31, 2003, 02:44:09 pm: why not make pvp out in wilderness areas, like when travelling between cities, this way people could actually make their job an outlaw, and it makes travelling like a mini quest avoiding them.

And those who do not wish to be killed while going from city to city. they could perhaps pay for warps, or maybe some kind of hiring of large group vehicles that take them there. Or maybe animals to ride on to outrun them, like chocobows, or if ur really rich, a big bird like thing that flys there!!!

Also there could be an arena area where ppl compete, like the gladiators, and the rest of us spectate.

Ppls thoughts?

i mean, im talking more realism here, that oh look u cant hurt me coz the server says so nyaaaa. kinda like the ff wildernesses when traveling, their could be a free air bus (bird or whatever) that comes hourly or sumthing as well.

players could ride the stage with a shotgun, or travel in groups, or ride a very fast steed

Post by: sashok on July 22, 2003, 01:31:27 am: it\'s good stuff, it opens up plenty professions like bodyguards, all those who are in merc guilds, outlaws, all those who like to live in forest and wait(which is also a little unrealistic) because I\'m sure the areas between cities will be huge, I don\'t think outlaws will stand around everywhere for hours just waiting for somebody.
Anyway, it could open work for traveling services, whether you can rent a horse :), for a fast ride, or you can take the supersonic japanese metro.

I kinda like this idea of pk\'in by traveling from city to city but on the other hand i dont. Itll add lots of buisness like most of you said but it would not be fair at all to new people or people with very low levels. Maybe if there were areas right out of the city were you could fight monsters and lvl or if there was a level difference i.e if you were lvl 15 and you see like a lvl 1-5 you cant attack them. I dunno i just like the pk because its realistic.

and the whole wilderness idea - that is how it is in Diablo 2 -> the end result is that the pks will wait right outside the town gates for the poor wandering noobs who don\'t know what they\'ve gotten themselves into
