i think this was a very good change
yesterday i went with some ppl there to visit the place
personally i think it's a bit tricky to walk with that kind of terrain and those monsters but anyway
now, the fact that you can dryloot there is just lovely
you get to have an area of pvp where ppl can loot but you also have tons of badass monsters
would be great to see ppl pvp'ing with monsters attacking them lol

although i too fear that, since it's the only place where you can dryloot, that the entrance will be "camped" by ppl
sure, if one enters there it's with more ppl and blesses and whatnot, but that doesn't mean that any guy there can icq his friends from opposing religion and here we go.simple as that
if there were more spots like this ofc it wouldn't be this bad
but then again ppl would just gate around while someone with high tracking looks for prey..
let's just wait to see what happens
just a question
if someone tries to kill you in sorib island to loot you and stuff, but you managed to open the lever and come back, they:
1- cannot touch you
2- can kill you and dryloot you (because they started "robbery" inside sorib island
3- can kill you and loot only the general bandage/foci thing

I hope they can chase you out and kill you as long as you can prove the confrontation started on Sorib Island.

Everything's in the rule book. It specifically reads that clean looting is allowed only on the Island.

Camping issues are something that can be looked in the future. A few good things on the Island are these;

1) You can't log out on island. It kills the log in->track->log out rutine.
2) Travelling is blocked and that's a 50/50 thing. Again it takes care of recalling to a spesific spot, tracking and recalling away rutine.

The biggest problem is camping outside of the exit (you pull a lever to exit the Island to mainland). If robbers camp there, well, they can only loot the normal gold/gems/foci/regs/potions. So you'll most likely loose a shit load of gold, but the true value of your belongings are still in your gear(s) and other stuff you bring from the Island. No big loss there. I also put the exit near Law's hometown - to give some compensation to both Law and the victim(s).

Surely there are some issues, but first lets see how things roll from here.

Well.... within reason because your being transported to one specific area every time, where as around britain theres multiple ways in and out....

Easy fix.

Now there's 3 different levers, that take to 3 different places.

Imo an immortal portal conjurer would work better. That way if you're being killed/robbed it will take you some 10 seconds before the portal is ready preventing you from instantly running.

Takes scripting, so it's a no go.

A transferring NPC can be created, but that will transfer always to the same place. Lets roll with the levers for now.
