Plugging is a huge problem in PvP. Any measure taken toward resolving it is fantastic!

What about people who zonecrash legitimately?

I crash every 4th or 5th zone and I haven't been able to figure out why yet (could be my horrible college campus connection).

Hope nobody is around the zoneline that doesn't like you then :P

A few things to note:

Your character will fight back.

And we will put in a message to notify you when you log in with a list of players who attacked and killed you while you were linkdead.

Plugging is awful. System is great.

Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!

Killing someone before they get to the zoneline requires lots of strategy, and changing this would take that away. I myself enjoy chain casting root at zonelines.

There needs to be at least 5 mins of downtime if you do decide to plug...

I would prefer 10mins. Plugging YES we all do it.... Why wouldn't you?

But if you do there should be some punishment. Especially in massive pvp fights for Naggy etc. 10 mins is a life time....and when you puss out you should be punished.

I know occasionally it happens on accident; not plugging itself but other problems that you may have. And yes that sucks...but plugging is a real problem and something should be put in place to protect everyone.

This is a simple fix as opposed to implementing some Jesus like system to save us all.

See, now this sound FUN! Would certainly bring a lot of grins around the server, fun screenshots for posting, etc.

Accountability. Anytime you bring accountability and force it on the players, it's a good thing IMO. Own what you do online baby.

I really like this idea

My concern tho would then be what if someone trained or some mobs were already trained and you legitly went LD from zoning, if you plug I could care less go die :P I do also sometimes lose connection or take rather long to zone and am still not sure why
