Sadly, you can't get vets to do stuff like that because of loloot.

You can barely rp with opposite aura, because you know 90% of the time they're spamming "hurry come gank xxx!!!!"

People like Eddy can't stop thinking about pk/loot for 5 minutes to rp.

Yeah yeah, people who are fighting your characters are always bad at RP, we know. Can you blame them when their alternative is interacting with your character, who has pretty much been the same sarcastic know-it-all for the past 5 incarnations?

Seriously, syn? I've played with you, and I've played with Edoras. He is not the one who lets his RP slip because of loot/pk etc.

It's scary how drastically a player's opinion of another player will shift when they are playing enemies instead of allies with each other.

Eddy is a good ally, but you can't honestly tell me he does any cross aura rp.

Try to simplify my irritation at this point...


PlayerA decides to go into cityX and kill playerB, in the process incures a number of crimes.

PlayerB has been set back and must find life and reequip, playerB's experience has been affected by PlayerA.

PlayserA gloats and says "I NoZ Lkz Us KilZ mE Nd IZ LkZ HA HA" point being playerA is under the assumption PlayerB must exert some level of ability over him in order for it to be even.

PlayerB is incapable of such a feat for whatever reason, though tries endlessly, often times sitting in jail himself because of defending against playerA.

PlayerA FINNALLY gets arrested for his actions because the game has some hard coding to make people acctually think before acting.

PLayerA now cries that the jail sentence is too long.

Now PLayerA gets one day in jail or about 20 mins. PlayerB got ganked, had to wait half hour for a priest to show up, spend another say hour getting loot back, another say 2 enchanting, and another 2 coin farming and getting vials brewed.

So playerA gets a 20min time out playerB gets kicked in the teeth for 5.5 hours of work to get up to par to attack playerA.

Point is, you are whinning because you do ILLEGAL stuff IG and you don't want to sit in jail over it. I can see many of you paying lots for high priced lawyers or mommy and daddy own a senator.

Jail times are fine, the difficulty to break people out should be higher, and maybe, just maybe people will consider ganking everyone and everything in sight. While the game is no fun without PK, it is no fun constantly running or hiding from it.

Jail is fine, stop being a whiny [REDACTED] when you purposefully rack up as many crimes as possible.

I think that's what anyone with a brainis saying.

And stop qqing over every little thing that works against you when you abuse all kinds of [REDACTED].

I agree that the exile war party should be wimped. And that the jail exits do not need to be no recall. We should not be forcing people to spen time in jail any more than absolutely necessary.

Oh, except that, " if you can't do the time, don't do the crime.". Baldric is right on that one.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Edoras isn't the one who brought up the idea of capping jail time. I'm not sure if he even supported it or commented on it. That was my suggestion. I've also never had a huge list of crimes, except maybe once or twice following a killing spree with Aldric, and even then I don't think my time far exceeded the cap I've proposed.

I agree that the game should be less of a time sink, across the board. Jail time should be capped. Spells that can one-shot you should be nerfed, thus eliminating the need that veteran players feel in spending hours upon hours enchanting their suits. Inflation should be capped at 2x the original price of an item so that you don't have to spend extra time coin farming. The playerbase should move away from trying to "hurt" enemy players and move towards trying to build an immersive gaming environment that is fun for everyone.
