Will We Be Able To Steal?

[Kendaro]

*looks angrily in Aragorn\'s direction*

it is plain to see that ye have not known of the Kendaro\'s character and in the ways that he speaks. the Kendaro doesn\'t do well with person perspectives. and before you nitpick on the Kendaro\'s use of thee correcting him to yee, know it is ye with one e.


(nitpicking to someone\'s speach is a quick way to get many on your case. people have their own ways of saying things. before you understand them, best not to try and correct what you do not know is already correct.)

Uh, yeah, what he said!   ?(

Filching items from a backpack is actually a lot easier than you think, unless the backpack happens to be made of some seriously thick leather.  A skilled thief could certainly slit the bottom of a commoner\'s pack, most likely unnoticed, due to the distance the pack is from the wearer\'s body.  It\'s tougher to get something out someone\'s pockets because of the proximity of the item to the person\'s skin, which makes it easier to notice (feel) when someone\'s messing with your stuff.

(Uh, not that I know anything about this kinda stuff of course...   )

Personally, I sincerely hope thievery is kept to a minimum, or at least not made too powerful a skill in the game.  Nothing is more frustrating to me than to lose the money/gems/trinkets/magicky-whatsits I\'ve been working so hard to get to some lowlife who exists only to screw with other players.  Please, O Gods of PS, make it difficult to get away with when done to other players!

i think thievery will be a skill wich helps U in stealth and lockpickkin and such.

I thought I read earlier that stealing was punishable by death.  *shrugs*

Edit:
DOH!  That was polluting the lake. :rolleyes:

[Tok'ra]

In real life I wear 3 chains on my wallet(punk). No one even try\'s to steal from me.

Anything should be posible to steal if not Guarded right.
Ofcourse Stealing a few Coins compaired to trying to steal someones Real Valued Goods should be a big Dif.

But there should be a big Side Effect if cought. Like if you are in a town and guard are near you can be tossed in jail, If you try to steal from a stronger person and fail and no guards are around. he could always attack and steal your Items in turn.

Might even be able to hire a private investigator to seek out the theft, But I that would mean makeing theft skills vary and if one is sloppy they leave clues around.

The above could be alittle to far fetched as I have never played an MMORPG and am Hopeing to start with PS.
