PVP Protection, Lifetime..

[davidjett]

You know.. Just a thought. I'd be willing to pay a premium for lifetime PVP protection.

Would be nice for those of us who do not participate in PVP.

I'm sure many others would go for that as there tends to be two very different views on PvP.

Forfeit protection if you join a clan and if you try to accidentally attack someone have a confirmation message asking if you want to lose non-PvP status.

[Isacas]

Agree! I don´t like PVP either and I would pay for this status!

[Elgur]

I tried clans, but not my cup of tea. Being attacked at randowm interval-------i don' approve of such behavior
If I were a new player who dislikes pvp on the fly, then Yes, I

would

pay for lifetime pvp protection?
Have no idea what the cost or even if that were possible.

life time pvp protection?hmm ikd but are you sure you gona be without clan forever?

[SellSword]

Some players are more than fine without a clan. Some players may change their mind after awhile. That doesn't really matter much as long as you give someone an opportunity to change one way or another.

There would obviously be a cost to purchase, but if someone wanted to test out clans and then go back to the no-PvP purchase they could do that. It would presumably cost more than regular PvP protection so constant use wouldn't make much sense.

I'm wondering about what would be a fair cost and is it reasonable considering the current option of a week pvp free? Ive played 4+ years now...that just complicates a lifetime pvp option..how do you anticipate what is fair considering players may play long or short? And another question even if you personally don't initiate pvp I think an option of feeling impervious to player attack won't it make the player feeling they can do whatever they want for as long as they want because no one can attack them? Conversely wouldn't such an option remove a part of the danger that makes a game fun? We may not like being attacked but it does keep us alert while playing especially if a red named player enters our area, is the game going to be better without this potential risk? We like things orderly but the chaos written into the storyline itself sets the tone of the game, will removing the danger from players that align themselves in their play with the evil forces go against the foundation of the game itself?

If such a change is made I would prefer it be done at some point where the player can choose his alignment. You choose a follower of Sebastius or a follower of Ascanius and either choice both limits you and allows you certain activities. We see this idea in part at least with the book quest. Different things occur if you give the book to the boy or the creepy stranger, or underground village quest where you can choose to rob the mages house entering the thief quest line or leave his treasure untouched. I welcome some kind of such suggestion that is woven into the game rather than just a personal preference that perhaps only a few can afford. It should be good for all players...that's my forum mantra which sometimes is forgotten.

Well said Gull. never thought about it along those lines.

But there are some, like me, that never have liked PvP and recognize that the game can survive with both PvPers and non_PvPers in the realm. Clanned ot not.

[Leone]

There are some players who buy pvp protection and drag spawn onto others without reprisal. To my mind, this is pvp by stealth.

Introduce a permanent pvp protection and you can see where this goes.

OH DEAR! Never heard of that.
