Evil players as rogues
« on: September 26, 2005, 02:04:53 pm »
Would it be possible for players who wish to play evil characters to become rogues, brigands, bandits etc.?? :)

Given the current situation, its pretty unlikely- look how much the roleplayers complain about PvP and fighting at the moment, and then imagine if you (even if only in a small, obscure, out of the way area) didnt have to challenge people, and see what you would get?  You\'d have Powerlevellers camping to kill people for the fun of it rampant, Roleplayers Cruicifing anyone who doesnt speak in Elizibeathan english, and anyone in between told to RTFM.  Basically the same it is now, but 10 times worse.  There are way too many immature players to properly handle something like this.  If you think you have a good system to handle it, then go to the PvP sub forum and discuss it there.  (This is assuming this is what you mean by \"Rogues\" and \"Bandits\"- but I dont see many explanations to what you mean, aside from open PvP and robbing people in some sort of way).

To begin with, there won\'t be that many players wanting to play rogues, especially as there would be strict rules for gameplay. Eg. they would be confined to certain areas during daytime and allowed into town to train during a limited time until they get their own camp/town (and not able to attack or be attacked on these occasions).

secondly player rogues would be much more fun to kill than either ordinary players or npc rogues. Eg verbal interaction and a more challenging fight as for the PL; player rogues could gang up on them.

As for the Elizabethan English RPs they are fighting a losing battle anyway and most people just ignore them (just my humble opinion). Give them their own town to play in (or hamlet!).  :)

Hopefully in the future we will have areas where there\'s open PVP, so players wanting to rp bandits etc. can raid people travelling through. Players could avoid these zones by taking the long route to their destination, but people would be more willing to hire guards and take the shorter routes I think.
