I don\'t understand what your aversion is to zone instancing.  Do you want to play in a game where you can\'t get any exp or do quests because the mobs are camped?  

Rulzern, what a helpful post, I really got a lot out of, \"NO! FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY NOOOO!\"

roguewolftamer, ever thought about using some period?s man, my brain almost took a core dump reading that. =p  All kidding a side, I don\'t find your answer adequate for the problem.  By having someone banned does not fix the overall problem.  Why not make it so a client won\'t get griefed as easily.

Kiern, how is it a stupid, and the fact that it defeats the purpose of a RT MMORPG?  I would much rather zone crawl with my friends in peace, then worry about some high level jack *@! that is trying to have a little fun at our expense.

Is this not supposed to be a game that is fun?  Why do I, as someone who is trying to have fun, want to have to deal with people stealing my kills?  It?s no fun, and fun is the name of the game right?  No wait its PlaneShift, but you get my point.

No disrespect is meant with this post; just want to understand what you all mean.

Thanks much,

Forsythe

This idea was brought up in IRC just a couple of minutes ago, when talking about skills.

As an individuals character matures over time, and say was previously was a mace user, but has since obtained an excellent 2h sword, his mace skill should slowly degrade.  This will in turn make it very difficult, if not impossible to become an uber character, but also make the game more realistic.  As the saying goes, \"if you don\'t use it, you lose it.\"

If you have any additional ideas or suggestions feel free to post.

Thanks much,

Forsythe
