Shattered Kingdoms

I cant help but feel this is a case of one punishment does not fit all. A $1000 fine in RL means the rich can effectively ignore the law the poor are harshly punished by it. The same thing happens in SK. A character deletion to some players is a day or two punishment to other players it is a month or two. I can see a few ways around this most of them move the punishments to play time limits. Which could be done and have a more even level of punishment tailor to different play levels.
In cases of multi playing loot transfer the (H) flag can be used to great effect rather than deletion.
Something Im not sure is possible but might be a good addition to the game a character(or player much harder to implement) time restriction. AKA can only play SK for X hour(s) every 24 for Y day(s) as punishment. This would enable a punishment to stick when a harsher punishment needs to get handed out. It could also be used to help problem players who are becoming too invested to help them cool off rather than banning out right. It would also hopefully help a player be able to show in their play the difference between an Oppz I broke the rules and Yer I meant to break the rules.

Out of all the responses Baldric's post could've garnished from a staffer, a hypothetical rules infraction is what we got? I mean I hope you're trolling. Nobody who cares about the sentiment of Baldric's post would deny blatant cheating in your scenario.

You and Baldric aren't the target audience. There are less experienced players who read the forums who might misconstrue what he said as meaning that you cannot get in trouble for item transfer as long as you retire your character before you create a new one and take possession of the items.

Mereht and that dude had the best times.
