This thread isn't about newbie kill farming, nor is it about PVP. Could we please stay on topic.

I will restate my question which is ;

If people join the shard and start to think '' Oh god, someones going to kill me while I'm afk macroing, I should really mine and sell my ingots, or hunt. in order to buy a house ''
Don't you think this would stabilize the economy, aswell as throw some fun in for the new players?

I do not think that the economy will change by people mining. A lot of resources trading hands is always good though, and if this really worked, I'd be more than happy to do it just cause of that. I also do not believe in forcing people into doing something that they might not want to do, and if mining is their only option (which in fact it would be, since hunting can get too hard on low levels), then I think that it would be a bad contribution.

I also think that it causes more "bad" feelings towards the server (being killed killed while macroing, as I do not believe a lot of players will "go with the flow" of the mining idea), which will end up with people quitting. If you log on to a server, see 100 grievers just waiting to kill you (no matter the reason), chances are you'll think that this isn't the place for you.


It's just my opinion though. I do think that you have a point, just not sure it applies to a real world situation.


EDIT: If it sounds like I'm shooting you down, then I sincerely apologize. I'm open to the idea, just skeptical whether it will work in practice and about the image it would create for our server.

If you really wanna kill someone now, just time 3 fses, have a cutter, and one looter That way you'll get the R/R, but you wont make that effort to get some NS/SA.

You'll need 5 different chars for it. U will be autoguarded right after each fs. Since criminal decays in like 5 mins this char will be useless. Char who making third fs can also play a cutter role if you are fast, but still, 4 chars is pretty hard also, especially if four chars on your account are red, and multiaccount isnt allowed. U will need a huge party of friends to do it. And i dont like sharing such loot as r/r weapons

and also you will have to be very lucky tiesto doesnt catch you and jails you for multi account

yeah ! Thats what im saying!
This is carebear server!!!

I do suppose if you put a little fear and risk into macroing in town it could cause players to earn some gold to buy their own home. This typically causes an attachment to a shard or at the very least an interest to stock it up and hunt more.

There are valid points on both sides I think. Not sure that it matters too much either way though.

I've been playing for a pretty long time now, and I have been recently logging on more.

I noticed just today that there is no summons allowed in any guarded area, may I ask.. why?
I'm sure someone will respond '' we don't want people to kill afkers '', and before you even say that. The point of towns is the risk, without the risk you basically just have another Pits, people who want to hide in complete safety.

I just think that there is no point in not allowing summons in town when we already have the pit's, It would be nice to have alittle bit of fun in town, joking or not. This takes out a lot of the freedom this shard is supposed to have.

You can't macro in pits, neither gain skills..... If you want to have fun, theres always Red Towns you know? Blue towns gotta be safe cause they are like "home" for newbies. So i don't really see a problem on not allowing summons.

[imported_Gang-Bang]

But i thought u cant gain skill in pits because its 100% safe? Or wha? I just wanna say guard zone and SAFE zone are two different things. U should be able to cast everything in guard zone, but u can be killed for it if someone will call guards on you. This is "spherish" way. And our server is sphere replica(?).
And yeah.. Red towns are supposed to be funny place for pvpers... But for now its most boring place ever. In brit you can at least find someone;p
