Con: PvPers won't like this because they all recognize how much it sucks to lose a duel because you run out of regs. How often do you see people don't brag about killing someone who ran out of regs? It's as if it's a code of honor acknowledging you won for a shitty reason, same as when you win because someone crashed. Hence why there are stones you can buy regs from from within a duel area, at an increased price for the convenience of not having to go to a NPC or player run vendor to buy regs.

lol let me tell you how it really happens
PKer: Haha pwnd newb.
Victim: dude i ran outa mr
PKer: yeah whatever u suck
Victim: seriously look in the reg bag you looted ass
Pker: next you gonna tell me you lagged and crashed too right? You suck fgt *res kills*

Con: If you finish a few duels, realize you're out of regs, you have the inconvenience of going to a player run vendor or NPC to buy regs or supplies. While you go for those regs, you run the risk of someone killing you while you're wearing your duel gear and carrying a bunch of supplies. Yes, that's part of the game but it's no fun getting caught like that because there's no supply stones around that some people are used to having for so long.

This is a pro. Too many people just keep their things banked for ever and this would add a much needed risk, granted it wouldn't be much of a risk but risk is truly needed. Players are too babied here and this is proof of it.

Con: Lets say there were no supply stones and you had to go to a player run vendor or NPC to buy regs. Now you get there, find out there out of regs because someone is purchasing them all, so you go to a player run vendor, search 50 vendors, finally find one selling regs, but there aren't enough because everyone else is buying them too. 20 minutes after you recall around a bunch of towns collecting some regs the duel area gets closed or you have to go. My exact idea of having fun!

OMGZ! you mean like how people used to play UO?!?! Thats ridiculous!!! You know what, lets add scroll stones and pot stones too so this doesn't ever happen!

If I'm not mistaken that's how the regstone is now. You have a choice of 3 reg bags you can buy from, depending on your needs.

There is only one reg bag set when using the stone.

For those who think it's impossible to run out of regs in a duel, maybe you'd like to know 500 of each of the 8 main regs weighs 400 stones. Good luck carrying some scrolls, pots, armor, and a weapon with you while you duel with 400 stones of weight in regs alone...

I challenge someone to tell me how much they weigh when they suit up with armor, 1-2 weapons, and a reasonable amount of regs, scrolls, pots, and aids. How much do you weigh? Did you remember a rune to your house/bank, your spellbook, key ring, a bag to hold your supplies, 1-2 pieces of clothing to look cool? Chances are you're going to be pretty weighed down. Now consider that you might end up dueling someone for 30 minutes. It's not that absurd of an amount of time. Oh darn, all that hard work of dueling the last 30 minutes is going down the drain because I have no more ginseng to heal with.

to be fully prepared for a single duel that may last 10 minutes, you are talking about 280-340 stones. I don't know why anyone would ever carry anywhere near 500 of each reg on them lol. Dueling for a few minutes with 100 of each reg will leave you with 40-60 of each anyway. Normally people run out of pots or scrolls when at the duel stones and need to restock them more frequently. Granted I am just going by what I see people say when they are dueling there...

Here's the thing. The average duel that I have watched at the duel stones lasts just a few minutes (I have watched tons) and quite honestly nothing is stopping players from restocking between duels. My real concern here is that the duel stones shouldn't be promoting that much action. Real fights need to take place in the world. I seriously think we should only have duel stones open a few hours a day.

Anyway, I don't think the reg stone will be removed but it will likely get a price hike. The arrow/bolt stones need to go away I think.
