Discussion: +/- 8 Levels, Dynamic

[mimixownzall]

No, in war you have at least two defined factions/nations etc. This is not war, this is.. anarchy?

Since I have to spell it out:

The problem is the huge disparity between levels combined with the fact that you can cause someone to lose exp and their money while not having any chance of defending themselves.

You know why SZ worked with its rules set? There was no real incentive to killing lowbies. The only reason to repeatedly kill lowbies is if they were twinks and you wanted to draw out some higher levels. The real incentive was to fight those who were within 5 levels of you. You could loot them and get insignias and cause them to lose exp.

Here? Well if you can kill light blues who have no real chance of defending themselves and easily defeat them while taking their cash and causing them to lose exp, why ever fight anyone your level, or who can kill you? The smart people will do that. Unfortunately I have this really handicapping sense of honor and can't bring myself to do it. I really wish I could, but when I do it, I seriously feel bad IRL about it. There is just no fun out of owning someone who you know has no chance of killing you (for me anyways).

I could do this on SZ... I think it was because of the teams aspect. It truly did feel like war; kill or be killed; fuck those other bastards. I guess I just like having who my enemies are more defined.
