I suggest that there should be a place made where criminals are sent by NPC guards if they commit any crimes. The island should be like criminal paradise (black-market ect.) there should be NPCs their but nothing like the normal NPCs, more how would u put it... Illegal!!!
There should be \"NO!\" rules on this island, kill or be killed!!! The Island should not be impossible to escape, but rather hard 2, it should also be possible 2 reach via outsiders. The thing is... would u really wanna go there!!!
Come on u can\'t say dis isn\'t a great idea put it in the game PLZ PLZ PLZ

does this have to do with Pk\'ing? PaXx already said no pk\'ing at all for this game. but \"This place\" would make a good location for crazy monsters.\" even though it has nothing to do with criminals..
-
If there was Pking this area would be nothing more then a large arena in our eyes, there is nothing saying that this can not be done?.but the island idea is not likely how it would be done. But it won?t be an issue for now. Will there be areas where Pkers can go sure?but they will be with Pkers not on people who don?t want to, and we are not even going to be pretending to balance skills?there will be mages that can kill 20 decent high end players in one shot but he might also be taken down by one shot in a not too spectacular fashion by a low level guy with a stick.
-
So this island is something like an alcatraz or somehting like that ? And, there will only be pk\'ing if this thing is considered an arena ? Sounds decent. Only thing is: what if your a thief or some other sort of criminal, and you do NOT want to pk ? Then you have got a whole lotta troubles to get off that island again without being killed. I think this island shouldn\'t be for any kind o criminals, it should be for murderers only...
-
this island isn\'t just 4 murders, there would be a blackmarket 4 theaves, lots of secret rogue or theving guilds!!!
-
But why would they want to go there when they have the omnipresent threat of being killed all the time ? Even for a thief it\'s not something reassuring to just walk the black market, strolling, shopping when suddenly a drooling loon runs by and slashes your head off. If you\'d wanna go there after commiting a crime, ok, but if you don\'t you should be able to refuse. only thing is, when you get arrested, it\'s not natural that you get to pick where you\'ll be sent. Anyone any ideas on how we could solve that ?

rofl - ah, Never underestimate the power of a half brick in a sock! (sorry discworld there noone will understand)
Lets face it this wont work, imagine say the wilderness in runey right, now imagine that the higher levels on like 99 could attack the lower levels in the lvl 1 area, it would be the same persons their always.

An Island to put criminals on sounds alot like Australia turn you backs and they\'ll make a country and develop an accent that people find strange (why I don\'t know) not to mention killing of the natives
-
hey i\'m a aussie, plus dat is da whole idea, da place isn\'t ment 2 be a jail, it\'s ment 2 be a small community, there would be certain rules that the stronger people on the island made, like no killing in da black market, if people chose not 2 abide these rules they would be hunted down and killed. Even if this did not happen who says the theifs are gunna go into da same city as where all the PKs live, they could hav there own secret community, ways of prooving being a part of the community, e.g. password otherwise death!!!
-
Why would anyone be arrested if they can?t Pk where they are not allowed to?
-
Who says it has to be a prison-island? Perhaps they move to the island by their own free will.
Hmmm, A free from all laws island. I like the idea :)
-
Well at least one person is reading :-)
Now I am waiting for people to think?underground?Island is not likely?however there may be areas where it is more or less likely, and stop thinking pick pocket and more slight of hand?this way the skill is useful in more then a few areas. Like a maze of caves that has become a community.
Skills like pickpocket and beg would really suck to build up and only be useable in two areas, things like slight of hand and persuade?might just allow for more to be done, even if most of it was pick pocket and beg?it allows for more content to be built around it.
Just some ideas so you all can think of something creative :-).
-
Hmmm, just because the world lies underground doesn\'t mean that there is no islands, but that depends on what size the cave is.
Perhaps the lower levels could be lawless. It doesn\'t necessarily mean that there should be open PvP, even if the thought is pretty good. You\'ve mentioned huge arenas, so why shouldn\'t a whole level be an option? You don\'t have to travel into the deepest caves if you don\'t want to, which makes both PvPs and non-PvPs happy.
Simple, if you join the game, you\'ll have to take the consequences. :P
Ah, your game your decisions.
Who says that \"beg\" should be a skill? Do you need a skill to ask players for money? I find it quite natural, and a simple \"give\" function will do. :)

slight of hand could be a skill where in a trade, the the master of slight of hand could make five crystals look like maybe six or seven crystals.
