The BAMF's ruleset

[C5BAMF]

FFA PVP
Call it compromise. This will allow for players to settle their own differences and save GM's the headache of getting involved, while lessening the need for players to train each other. Don't want to get pk'd? Respect the other player and his space, the community will develop its own standards such as "loot and scoot".
+/- 8 levels for a traditional range

Languages
Enforced PvP Teams can lead to issues such as sideline healing and training. However we can encourage teams by having races speak their native languages until they learn a common tongue. This also adds to immersion.

No item loot
Rallos Zek was one hell of a server, but we don't have the community to support it.

Include coin loot
Encourages more trade in towns where banks are close (this is good for new players and low levels), contributes as an award for pvp kills.

Include exp on pvp death
Nothing says "think before you act" more than the sting of exp loss in classic EQ. This will resolve bind rushing and keep lv60s actively PvEing to maintain their balance, also stimulating the community.

i agree with all of this, and think the languages thing would be interesting.

exp loss on exp death will add to the amount of griefing on the server. making exp loss worst than item loot and will insure a lesser number of people playing the box.

if you guys want less targets than sure. Also the same lot of you asking for this will be asking in the near future it be taken out of the game when people are killing you repeatably.

If i can kill you to get you out of my way cool. but if i can keep killing you so that you lose your level its worth my time.

do we want to encourage this?

Couldn't this be remedied by placing code that you couldn't lose xp from the same person within 60 minutes, 24 hours- whatever is decided.

Yeah, that would actually be pretty cool. Only being able to speak your native tongues could be a fun twist.

Which is fine because there is no rule against cross teaming. However new characters and unguilded may initially develop more of a buddy system, leaning more towards who they know and can speak to, while cautious of the unknown and more open territories.

Yep, and given the pop which is prolly gonna be pretty low it's nice that they can develop it with any other race
