That would be very, very bad when players invest countless hours into obtaining powerful crafted eq.

For example, let's say Lingolas died under that code. He would lose an emeralite cuirass, an emeralite helmet, two jade rings, two emeralite double axes, two diamond anklets, and other similarly powerful and high-level equipment. Immediately after, Lingolas quits DL. The same thing then happens to other players, and they quit. Only newbies who didn't have anything good to lose are left. DL dies.

How can you justify ruining the results of hundreds of hours of work in a few seconds? Destroying cookie-cutter mob eq may be justifiable, but not crafted eq.

Nope, I don't like the disarming and saccing thing either. But I think DT's should still scrap your ****. Angelus was an experienced player, he knew the areas and their dangers. Why do I think this? I think this because people get too fat and lazy when they don't have some serious element of danger in the game.

Vogar, would you please read what board this thread is on? THE IDEAS AND SUGGESTIONS BOARD.

I have lost sentimental EQ to DT's in this MUD. And yeah, it sucked that I lost it, and I complained, but guess what happened? I was able to move on. My only concern is that there's no real element of risk to this game if you don't play permadeath. Unless you feel that other people trying to be better at the game than you is a terrible risk. To me it's not.


When you're reading a fantasy/adventure/sci-fi book and you know the character will never die, and despite having all of this uber gear, he will almost never have to worry about losing it, it doesn't make the book very exciting does it? All the cliff-hangers and "suspense" moments are blown away by the fact that the character is never going to be in any serious danger.

Perhaps something could be done so that instead of scrapping all of your gear the DT only scraps one piece?

E.G- Due to the gruesome way in which you died "The Cosmic Belt" was damaged beyond repair.

I fear that you might be suffering from intrinsic methane poisoning due to the conditions of your surroundings. It seems to be making you fly off into tantrums for no explicable reason.

No, that would not be better because you HAVE to fight to level, and there-for your equipment is going to become damaged, and a heck of a lot more money and base material price is far more than your avg player can afford. And people don't hit DT's nearly as much as people are fighting and leveling. DT's are avoidable. Equipment damage is not, unless you never fight/leave it sitting around. Perhaps a moderate amount of money for each.

Lets just drop this frank exchange of words on this thread. If you feel like continuing it you can post a new reply to the next idea I suggest.
