Ok here is my two cents. The tracking idea is good for pvper but not crafters I played XUO and got tracked down everyday by gang-bang and killed heck i died so much i played more as a ghost than a mortal. You cant go nowhere because there was a 99.999999999% that some pk/red who would show up after u casted a bunch of bs or an ev on a monster (dragon) and you couldnt really escape or defend. Which made hunting a pain. I like the idea if u can toggle the tracker on or off.

1. The system for tracking on xuo cost the gankers absolutely nothing to use, all they had to do was continually refresh browser. So people were very easily stalked. I think pretty much everyone agrees thats a bad idea for inx.
2. As someone who apparently dies so easily, I'd be working on ways to escape from ganks if I were you. Its REALLY NOT HARD. Its like 500% harder to kill someone 1 on 1 then it is to run away from someone 1 on 1.

Sorry to go all unconstructive and *****y, but if you want to hunt in peace all day long and have no player interaction at all, why not load up baldur's gate 2? Great SINGLE PLAYER game.

After thinking about this a lot, if the tracking system is optional, its completely pointless to impliment it at all. 99% of shard pop would have it always off no matter what. If thats the only thing any of the players are willing to accept I'll stop wasting my time on this topic. Besides even if a non optional version of this went in, the very first time people get found and attacked, the forum will just be bombarded with whiners and crying. OH NOES I DIED IN UO ITS THE END OF ZE WORLD!!!

And odium you're idea of a tracking system that can be turned on/off but with there being a way to disable that and find someone regardless is really just the same thing as a tracking system you cant turn off at all. :/
I know it was just an example to try to get people thinking of other ways it might be implimented. But everyone I've talked to seems to only want this feature if they can turn it off, and there is absolutely no point in putting in a complex feature like this, just so people can disable it. The people who are against this sort of thing are against it because currently they have the equivilent of /God mode ON all the time. Of course they arent going to want that invincibility taken away. (yes I know they arent actually invincible, but because of the size of the uo world and the number of players, someone can play for months here without ever seeing or interacting in any way with another player. This grants them virtual invincibility against players through being un findable, the equivilent of a needle in a haystack).

Lets not confuse things here, currently, this is a RP/PvE/crafter shard. To be a RP/PvP shard, there would need to be pvp going on.... I think I maybe saw one fight at brit bridge since I started playing 4-5 months ago. Have only ever been attacked in the wilds by one person. Its funny cause, a lot of the same people who are against this, wonder why theres no one around and no action here. Wonder why theres almost 30 online, but nothing happening, and everyone seemingly afk. So in many cases people against this would actually be for this, if they understood it can be done in a way to increase the overall activity and fun of the shard. And in fact make their own gameplay experiance a little more dangerous, and a lot more fun. But I dont have the patience to explain it.

edit: Sorry for the nasty tone of this post, I woke up this morning feeling like someones taken a sh1t in my cheerio's for no reason :/
