[SIZE="5"]Ok here's my opinion on the whole main discussion of this thread[/SIZE]
Pits, good or bad?
It's great for small shards because people has an easier time finding each other and finding the battles then they would if they have to run around on their own trying to find some activity. The world is big and the playerbase is small, so it would be hard to find somebody.
It's not as important with a big playerbase, but it is still a positive thing, at least in my opinion. I know this because I've played at several shards with a 200+ playerbase, and these shards had pits, and it was still lots of fun.
The biggest issue here at IN-X is not that the shard has pits, but that the players at the shard are way too scared to gank. Sure bringing the gank to the britain bridge may bring a few more scared players there, but at the same time I agree with the guy who said that blues still won't be running outside very far, and even if the reds would manage to kill somebody the blue guy would already have ran too far inside by the time he'd die, to be cut or looted, and there by he'd be "safe" because the guards would be protecting his corpse.
Yes Lederoil, some people do tend to go outside a lil further in 2 vs 20, but hey, 2 vs 20 is not fun, and even if the 2 red PKs would kill one of the 20 blues they wouldn't have any chance of looting the corpse. In 2vs2 however the blues would not run out, they would hide at the bridge, making a party, attacking at the same time, then run back inside if the attack failed, I've seen it sooo many times.
Oh well, pits is going to be removed for a week now, Taran said it, Maka agree'd on it, there's no point in discussing it any further. I guess we'll just see what will happen, but don't get your hopes up, I don't think it will improve the ganking activity the way u think it will, even tho I do hope for a "great solution" to the ganking activity raising, I just don't think this is it.
Oh well, best of luck with the test week, we'll just have to see what happens I suppose!
