Same thing with Eastern Commons, people are gonna die so much it wont be funny. Go get level 8 where? in Oasis?

Which is all fine with me, dying a whole of a fucking lot. Its just... if you make people lose XP as well, i dont see the server growing. Only the big guilds will get ahead and the curve will only get bigger as the server gets older.

One of the only weapon people who arent in a huge zerg guilds like me will have to fight back is our persistence. With XP loss you cant have persistence.
By persistence, do you mean bindrushing? :/

There are plenty of places to xp. People in Qeynos can take the boat to Odus if they want, that place isn't bad. And anyway, it's only for an hour or until the people who PK'd you leave/log off. Could be an hour spent increasing your baking skill! The way it worked on VZ, you couldn't be forced to lns from your hometown.

But anyway, I suspect this server will (unfortunately) not be anything like VZ, and things like agreed upon zone control rules won't be in effect. So if players want to continue trying to exp around hostile players, something like this exp loss needs to be in place in an effort to deter them.

And as for players not being rewarded enough for pking people? I vote we don't reward in-game murderers anymore than they already are. If anything, they should receive a faction hit when they kill someone.
