Ideas on lockout instead of exp loss for pvp death?

If experience loss is done away with, replace it with yellow text and one of the following effects at random for a half hour:

1) Character is dazed from battle (drunk) and cannot see clearly
2) Character is exhausted from battle (overweight) and cannot run swiftly
3) Character is parched from battle (thirsty) and unable to drink to regenerate mana and stamina

isn't the point to encourage PVP not discourage it? why so many masochists here?

There is 0 reason to have exp loss at this point. It was different in classic, when experience was so easy and you didn't lose mana, but it literally serves no purpose that leaving a character low hp/oom now. On this server, all the butthurt from dying is worse than exp loss. Exp loss is just salt in the wound, especially while leveling 51-60.

Just take it out, its not rocket science. All these crazy suggestions and theories are unnecessary.

In death, a member of Project Mayhem has a name.


His name is Robert Paulson.

Sadist - I like to know my victims suffered, and I don't die enough for the penalty to bother me.

Risk makes the kills more enjoyable. Look at the death penalties in UO, MortalQuest, Discord, and Sullon versus the option to /duel on p1999 blue. Which rule set attracted more pvpers?

Not all pvp ends in death. I spent an hour training against Salem last week all in good fun. However, serious pvp must have consequences in order if it is to be consequential.

Except it just turns more people off at this point on a server where a lot of people are more interested in pvp than they are in pve.

As someone with around 50+:1 kdr, it doesn't bother me, but it does bother the majority.

Of course not. Fought him next to king in seb, had a shroom on me whole fight, gate potted at 20%~ he was at 10%. He died, i lived.
