Well sure you can have killstealing as being part of the roleplay, seeing as those characters are \"evil\" then. But if so, there should be laws active, and some sort of \"general order\" walking around that prevent people from disobeying that law.

Well.. because the PL\'ers will be able to level up even faster .

As well DarkMoon brought up a good point.  I like the idea of select PC\'s getting the opportunity.  A guy that spend most of his time smithing weapons could be granted this ability.  A guy that trains with a single sword predominatly could train sword use.  Miners that have spent most of their time in the mines could train miners.  So limit it.  That is good.

Okay.. that is maybe a good point, but when do you know if one uses alot of sword skill? You could just make an arrangement with someone who has 30 LA skill and hit him all the time while he always dodges. Does that make him use his sword skill alot?

Besides rauz... we are in the pre-alpha stage, lets test it to see if it is a good or bad thing... lol

Heh .

Andrek, even IF that system was \"fair-valued\", people would still be making mis-use of it.

For example, a trainer could camp next to a tefusang, while his trainee kills the tefusang, and immediately buys the needed skills. All while the trainer exchanges money to his trainee.

That would spoil the idea of \"traveling to your trainer\".

okay, the \"follow me\" sounds like a good idea. Would be more like a /guide command then.

It would work just like the /challenge command, where the receiving person either has the options to accept or decline the offer.

And after all, the game is still in pre-alpha phase, so it can\'t hurt to test the command anyhow.

child, thats just plain lazy. is it really too much effort to look at the screen as you play?

no, I can follow people just fine and I actually like to look at the screen while I play.

However, as hramrach pointed out, when you walk/travel with a group IRL, someone is usually the \'leader\', whom the rest follows. I usually have some sort of confidence in the \'leader\', and I don\'t really have to actively follow him, I can just talk, look around, eat stuff, look something up, take something from my jacket, etc.

Implementing a follow command in PS could simulate the same thing. I mean when travelling with a guide/leader I would like to check my inventory, look at my stats, chat a bit, etc, all while the guide/leader just walks where he wants without having to worry if his followers are not too far behind.
