PvP - What punishment should exist?

[GodBeastX]

Alot of people have concerns over PvP not being harsh enough on the person killed. So here is my poll to see where the community stands on it.

[Ethereal Edge]

Currently the system is fine if players begin understanding death is a big thing. Push comes to shove the system should be made to a 5 min. or so waiting period so that in big rolelpayed events players can't just jump back into the fray.

30 Minutes seems fine to me. Because people who die could respawn in a town, then someone who saw them die who went to twon would go ''how are you alive?''.

what about if the person instigating the assault would rack up points and once a certain limit was reached that character would start to gain certain aspects, like guards would at first just say where keeping an eye on you, towns people begin to distrust you and so on till guards go after you onsite and towns folk wont talk to you deal with you ect and you get 10% exp pen. and at that point you wake up in jail for a certain amount of time untill you are tried or escape, broken out

It would depend. If the person is killed in a legit RP'd PvP, then no xp/gold loss and 30 minutes. If, however, the person is killed by a PKer without RP, the penalty of xp and gold loss plus time out should fall on the killer.

My guess is that it can only be scripted one way. One penalty for PvP and not 'if it was legitimate rp leading up to a penalty is fine, otherwise no penalty'.

Honestly, I think a low penalty would be good. If there were only mature players about, then a harsher penalty would make sense - but because I don't think there are, let's not punish those that die at the hands of others...

I am all for a gold/xp hit and a 10-15 minute wait.

I second SteeleButterfly's suggestion.

I second SteeleButterfly's suggestion.

If you can script her suggestion, I'll take it.

[Euniana]

I support no penalties, as it helps some creative solutions in RP and limits damage griefers can cause.

[Scarlett]

Agreed, forgot about those buggers who swing first ands ask questions later.

[undeadsteak]

Mine was other... I would like an all item drop, and clerical rez only, but thats not going to happen of course :P

[Scarlett]

We'd have greedy people goading others into PVP just to loot. :|

[Maxx Powers]

I voted for 1-10 minute wait, because i think thats very reasonable. In general, i don't like penalties for PvP, but if people don't think its harsh enough, i suggest a bit of gold loss that is transferred to the killer.

Since we already have to warn them of PvP, which i totally agree with, why don't we take a page from the PvP servers and use a tool to initiate RP PvP, that way everyone would HAVE to RP it.

Hmmm, I think the current method is fine at the moment but that's because I haven't really seen any PVP deaths. The 10 minute waiting time to respawn sounds good but maybe some else to go with it.
