The easiest way to resolve the problem is for the developers to code the game in such a way so that no one can find a way to steal from others.  Clearly, the developers have failed under this circumstance and poor Magitex was unjustly punished for it.  Not much of a community if you leave behind even 1 member who just happened to be playing the game within allowed code parameters. 

Unfortunately, Sarko lacks GM experience and should not take on such a role that requires fairness to everyone, even the under dogs who just happen to figure out something over time and fairly got away with it.

Imagine the interesting RPing that will be happening now in the next several months.  Watch out everyone! 

I rarely get on but after reading all that, I have come to the conclusion that the community of (real players) distorted everything, ganged up on, and whined their way to making Magitex's life miserable.  Magitex is rarely seen by me but I usually caught him running back and forth to the mining spot outside Hydlaa.  He also plays mostly during the later hours past 11PM eastern time to do what ever he is doing.  I personally have never caught him stealing or doing anything wrong in the game.  And even if he did steal something, he is right.  Unless someone personally caught him doing in red handed, he's by definition as a player in character mode innocent since stealing is possible in the game.  The fact of the matter, Magitex RPed very well and did not get caught by a real player and no one can handle it and is just whining about it except a few players who clearly understand that it's all part of the game.  In conclusion, give him back his tria he RPed very well in game as a deceptive bastard thief and learn from your mistakes when it comes to in game stuff.

I am happy he won't be banned. He makes the game very interesting and I have learned a lot when it comes to one-day picking out my guild and being responsible for my stuff and guild building.  I am not picking anyone side but Magitex has done nothing wrong if we all can recongnize that he stole IC (in character) and did a very good job being sneaky about it in a planned manner.  He's right, only a real player should be able to ban or use proof against him, not a non living game variable like an NPC who repetitively says what is programmed by devs.

There is nothing wrong with the skill based system:  IF the devs made it hard to max it to 200, THEN so be it. 
IF certain skills are not hard to get to 200, THEN so be it.  Just take it for what it is and work hard, work hard, work hard, work hard. 

The life form that works the hardest reaps the greatest rewards. 
That has always been the most fair system since the beginning of time.

 





NOTE:  It's not wrong to leave slackers behind if their WILL is weak and they are not driven for success by any means possible.
ONLY EXCEPTION: It's wrong to leave slackers behind if the ones at the top of the food chain have rigged the system.

EXAMPLE:  I have been waiting for many years for the tailoring skill but it has not happened yet. 

I also struggled with the quests even their limitations, but with patience, the DEVS resolved the issues.
I also realize that some skills even if they are maxed still do not allow me to accomplish certain facets of the game because game mechanisms have not been balanced yet.  It is what it is so instead of whining I sought to focus on other skills in the game.

The point is this:  If your precious time is felt hindered, then it's time to go channel that time and energy else where away from PS.

Oh, I get it! You all are forum role-playing.  Almost got me there!

The idea seems plausible but as of right now I don't really see a problem with the economy (tria system) when buying and selling items.


Please enlighten me with some concrete examples.........

NO guild-house = ZERO value

Fascinating......

1.) Not necessary.

2.) That would make it too easy.  Hard work and determination is the ONLY way to reach goals in life.  No shortcuts and lazy attitudes. My two cents. 

tid-bit: if the mount option of letting an additional player ride is implemented, this is the only way you are going to travel faster besides actually doing all the quests like everyone else.
