Why is it that pvpers have to pay 10% to pvp in the duel stones?

I dont see the roleplayers paying to roleplay.

We should not have to pay 10% to duel? Its a pain in the ass. dueling 5k like 180 times -500 gp each time you duel, it tends to add up alot.. think about the 10k duels or the 20k duels.. even the 1k duels..
I just dont think we should have to pay for something that should be free. But then again we arent roleplayers and we dont get whatever we cry for.

No way, pvpers should always have to pay. In fact, let's make everyone pay 10k everytime they kill someone. Oooh and 500gp for every hit they make.
And did I mention they should pay the roleplayers? I mean, the roleplayers get everything so why not this too? Ah hell, I'll just give every roleplayer 1 million because I love them much move than the pvpers.

Now, to be more serious. I'm sure Maka had a reason for taking a fee when he scripted the duelstones. In fact, I can recall us talking about it. I just can't remember what the reason was

It's not that bad though, unless you loose everytime. But then again, you are probably more worried about the money the duel cost you from the beginning.

I made it that way cause I considered duel stones to be a service, and when money exchanges hands, I think the server should take commission. On XUO I also urged GMs to take 10% of the stakes in duels they hosted. If people fought for gear, they had to pay cash too.

Duel stones are safe, thats why they cost. World PvP is for free, but you'd rather not go there with a vanq sup acc bard In other words, I wanted duel stones to be a cheap gold sink, one that no one looses a lot on, but where the server gain is huge.

i know what your saying, but its just ... a pain in my royal ass..

anyways just wanted to talk about it...
thanks

For the record though, when me and taran had that discussion, I think he wanted to remove the cost. I managed to convince him, so it be all on me

I think that was the case at least, long time ago

[imported_Yankovic]

It might be an option to remove the fee until the shard grows and there are more people ?

[maka]

An option could be to remove it on the lower end stones, where people might train PvP. Think I made the percentage a property on the stones, but I can't say for sure. If it isn't someone should change it to that

Non the less, the call is Tarans.

100% Againest removing the commision. Duel stones are refilling your mana if you remember... If you want to get refilled for free, you should go loot stones. And someone might catch you there) If you dont want to risk, then pay a fee) Also not a big deal to pay 2k when u won 18k.
But anyway i would suggest to add 50k stone. At least one. To not disturb GM everytime;p
