Re: What to do re: PvP #1
Drylooting is the only thing that makes this game special over others. We saw what happened during Alteran era, shard slowly died out due to boredom.

Big no. Anything that will limit the looting will kill the game. (Seen it on Alterans era)
Re: What to do re: PvP #1
I am not a pvper and I don't like being robbed. But drylooting makes the merchandize go around. As bad as you feel after been taken away your stuff... it's for the best AS LONG AS the robbing party makes it fun for the robbed aswell and not just same old, lame old 'Halt! Drop your itamz!'

No it doesn't. We've had plenty of periods over the years with varying looting restrictions and we're still here. That's just hyperbole.Johnny Walac wrote:Big no. Anything that will limit the looting will kill the game. (Seen it on Alterans era)

Re: What to do re: PvP #1
It's not a theory. We all saw it. First there was no looting at all. Then he was pressured and had to put in gold and gems looting. A few came back and the players kept pressuring for more looting. After a while the shard was back.Ares wrote:No it doesn't. We've had plenty of periods over the years with varying looting restrictions and we're still here.

Imo the shard was preetty inactive during Alterans era. And the looting restrictions completely ruined merchant business aswell.Ares wrote:No it doesn't.

Re: What to do re: PvP #1
You're only referring to the Alteran period. I'm not. I wasn't around during his administration. Before him we've had periods with looting rules. After him too
Secondly, the PVP activity was pretty low maybe, the rest of the shard wasn't. I think you guys are a little PVP biased.

Aye. Looting restrictions do more harm than good.Demian wrote:Imo the shard was preetty inactive during Alterans era.

Re: What to do re: PvP #1
Ares, the looting restrictions really did hurt the shard as a whole. I played during that time and it was almost impossible to even find ppl to hunt with. And for that reason I quit playing back then aswell. Most people just hunted so much that they had everything they could ever wish to get and no way of losing it and had no need to buy anything from merchants except for the one set they once got for PvP or hunting. Ofcourse it gets boring that way.
