Stealing Idea
« on: February 08, 2003, 05:01:35 pm »
FEB

Well, I think instead of just being able to steal from a person, you should also be able to steal money/items from shops...as I really haven\'t played much mmorpg\'s im not sure if this is in others, but if it isn\'t it should be

Anyways, the shop could have like a designated place of their choosing to hide the money, and a thief would only be able to find it if they either knew beforehand where it was or had a high skill in spotting the money/items (of course, items would be stored in a back room, then you would need to be able to pick locks)

Of course, the owner might see you, but there are always invisibility spells and your friends to keep \'em busy, it also offers mroe of a reason to have guards

...you should also be able to run out of a store without paying your tab....because........um, more reasons to have guards?... :baby:

It s a good idea...
Btw, to my mind, \"rogues\"(or whoever has a stealing skill) should be able to pick pocket items to all NPCs (not only the shop owners) in addition to stealing money.

I was thinking, when houses come out, if a thief has a high (really high) pick lock and sneaks skills, they could be able to get into player owned houses and closed up playerowned stores and take stuff, but only one thing , becuase to many things would be to heavy and too noisy of course, but then players owuld have to store items in a back or safe tha an NPC owns ansd already has gaurds there untill the player can afford NPC gaurds for his own house or store...

just an idea to get out there
 :D

I dont  like the idea of being able to steal from players...
In real, it could be possible, but i think nobody would like to have any item stolen...

I like the idea about stealing from players, but I\'m not sure about NPCs. I\'m thinking about the ?ber-thiefes who\'ll steal from the NPCs like they want.
They will just learn the patterns after a while and then they can steal as much as they want  X(

if they did that , i think their stats should go down, like how strong they are etc. so there\'s a bigger risk if someone sees you. but i dont really like the idea of my items getting stolen. as for npc stealing, i think they should get very little. and when they get really high up they\'d be able to sneak into castles and get the goodies  :] . After they did that, i\'d like to see some sort of \"reputation\" thingy, so when they try to go into another castle they are not allowed.

No, this wouldn\'t work, I seriously doubt there will be stealing from players. These forums are bad now... It would multiply by 200 if there was stealing from players \"Waahh waah blablah stole this from me, waaahhh\".

Yeah, soon KIERN, we will no longer be the top people here. The next demo will bring in another load of newbies, and will wipe us all out. I don\'t think I will be able to wait the next 6 months after this techdemo.

Since there is no PvP system other than guild wars, arenas, and dueling there will be no steeling from players. Steeling from a player is like an attack they cannot retaliate from. Steeling will be soully left to NPCs. MOBs, and special quest related things. In the future the only player character I could think of that could be pick pocketed is if it was a GM related event and the character was GM run... Believe you me then when you try to steel from him/ her you will be testing your metal.

If you steel from a player it is like attacking them. There is nothing they can do to stop you from doing it. If you succede then they simply are without their item or money with no way to retaliate. That is a PvP attack in a non PvP system. It is not acceptable.

If they are caught stealing, then the guards should then show up they are either thrown in prison or killed...or maybe even transported...that may not be that realistic but I sure would be willing to sacrifice some realism to have stealing from other players
