Then your official stance would be the removal of vow, yes? That way everybody gets access to all the channels at the start, without having to worry about getting a vow.

Wow. Your lack of understanding is amazing.

having a set level of say 10 before you can converse to the world would be reasonable if vow was removed (as it currently functions)

1.) The right to vow becomes tri-av only.
2.) You may have 5 characters under 30 vowed for at any given time.
3.) Since you're taking responsibility for their actions, you automatically recieve 1/2 of any jail time they happen to accrue.
4.) In case of troublesome newbies (rampant murderers, etc.) I propose a new command: Warn <playername> <reason>. This command would send a message to the vower that their newbie is causing problems.
5.) As an extension of the above, I propose another new command: Unvow <playername> <reason>. The unvowed newbie gets a warning as to why they were unvowed, and until they are vowed for again the reason will be listed in their whois.

Abuses of the system would lead to automatic resetting of the offending vower to level one, and a full purge of their account. Since the player obviously doesn't understand newbies, he/she gets the chance to be one again.

Harsh? Probably - but it's an idea ^_^

Otay i havent really read past here yet so i just want to get this out.the unvowing would be great but to have the reason in their bio?that i dont really like

I think the reason should be in their bio. It would warn other people about them so that would help their decision on whether they should vow for them or not...These rules would certainly make the vowing system actually helpful.

i'd rather just see a 'family' / or 'hierarchical structure' used as i have mentioned in some old old posts.

you take in an underling - you get x number of underlings max
those underlings get x number of underlings each, etc, etc

you may remove an underling, and they may rid themselves of you

when they rid themselves of you, they are penalized for x number of days before they can choose a new 'master / mistress'

you are not penalized for removing an underling

I would like to see that as a standalone feature - no guilds, no families
just this hierarchy
