Well part of the fun in exp death is fearing the actual death, the fear of losing something.

It has to feel like shit is on the line for me to get a kick out of the game, if i get rooted 3 minutes, that's bullshit punishment.

If you're going down to gankers you need to play better, there's millions of ways to avoid death in eq and if you're rollin alone, well then you took the hard road.

I did explain repeatedly in this thread though that sitting down twiddling your thumbs for 10mins is already punishment, so is walking 2 zones to your corpse, so is losing all the coins on you.

Thats losing something, time, coins. Shit is on the line.

Most of the times it will be gankers going down to you, and of course by 5v1 i mean 8v3 etc etc

Again and again, ive played Rallos for 2 years. I already know that repeated pvp deaths alone in itself is harsh, even for someone as patient as me. I guarantee you players will drop like flies with XP loss.

Sitting on ass for 10mins each time you die is already bad enough without adding on top extra PVE grind. If people are content with a purple "hide n seek" server where a majority of players ducks after the first death, great. I know ill probably get bored quickly.

People will get so irritated that they will train to get back at xp loss they sometimes cant really avoid, im pretty sure, and the rules make it illegal.

Now you have to decide if that guy who died with 4 orcs on his ass was intentionally training or not. (again a reason why i think training should be allowed)

Do you guys realize how long the walk is from Queynos to inside of BlackBurrow? From WFP to Oasis? People waiting at zone lines? Seriously. This XP loss is just lol

I foresee a shitstorm, well see.

Im not trying to come off as irritating or being intentionally polemic, honestly, i really think this is going to hurt the server population.

I want to play here, and i want the server to be fun. Which is why im pushing for this.

If Rogean/other devs say its final, then ill go with it. It seems to be in limbo right now which is why were discussing it.
