Also, as I mentioned somwhere else before I think, players should be able to break out (with some effort) regaining their wanted status.
the european ragnarok online uses a prison system as a method of administrative punishment by the game masters. when you do a minor offence (like insulting other players) your character is teleported into a jail (a map without an exit) for a few days by the gm team.

It is really an attempt to miminize newbie killing. So it doesn't become mindless PKing.
as i suggested: when you kill players that got a lower level than you, you lose honor points. when you got negative honor points you get some disadvantages.

I think that 1) it isn't enough because there are only a handfull of GMs 2) It may leed to injustice as they may listen to lying players and one GM is more strict then the other. Therefor I think people should 1) players should mainly be punished by a in-game server-controlled justice system 2) should not be punished for being rude or using foul language.

I find that if it could create something similar to a championship.
Where all would only pay 1k (an example) and in the end who won the championship took 70% of the total, as it took 25% and third it took 5%.
It would be legal if the equipment of the personages was removed all, and only fought in the fist.

an arena is already planned, but you might be on to something with the fist fighting. maybe there could be one GIANT town that has EVERYTHING and in that town is the arena. in the other towns that are smaller, there could be "fight clubs" with rules like: no armor, and fists only.

inside the towns are protection zones, and outside the towns are pvp zones, because in this manner will be more realist and exciting, in this manner will have criminals players living in outside of the city and hunters of criminals living in the city, well, something like that xD

I created a section on the wiki that deals with various pvp concepts that have been suggested:
http://wiki.themanaworld.org/index.php/PVP
  • former Manasource Programmer
  • former TMW Pixel artist
  • NOT a game master

Please do not send me any inquiries regarding player accounts on TMW.

PVP at the most places possible

Post by ssbm »

Players should be able to PVP anywhere, except towns. In my opininion this will make the game funner. especially for higher level people. However, to prevent people pking too much there should be a point system where every time you kill you get a certain amount of pk points. As time goes by your Pk points decrease gradually. If they get too high there can be a consequence.

I'd like a scattered mix of PvP and safe zones. To limit it to "towns as safe" is kinda boring I think. It would be nice to have 1- some rough towns, 2- some towns where you can fight, but there are police to break it up, and 3- towns where PvP is prohibited.

I am not too fond of that idea. I would get confused.

I think it could be done wihtout having to memorize the PvP characteristic of where you are. There could be signs posted at entrances and exits for reference. I think it would just help to keep things interesting and all of us on our toes.

while PVP is a fun part of the game if it is overused it will affect the story/quests and general feel of the game. it would be nice to have a circus maximus complete with gladiator style and designated space for those who wish to spectate near cities and towns.

Yes. I think that PvP should only be possible in certain arenas. Otherwise it's to easy to abuse. There are to many bastards out there that love to Duck up others game and dont care if they get a "minus" to something now and then.

If you're no kiddy, then why do you use "Duck". Not that I care, but it's not a formal word. :roll:

Very funny. Try writing that overused hollywood word. Sometimes I wish to use a swear word. I hate it when censor stops me from doing that. :(

I did try and it turned into ****, like it should. I meant the f-word not the stars.
Doesn't typing the word give you the same sensation as actually posting it?
