People are way to fixated with their killshots- you ran the fucker out of the zone, you made him humiliate himself by zoneplugging. You won. Do you really need a sticker, too?

Agree in spirit with Halister. I never got "mad bro" when someone ran for the zone, I knew I "won" already and I didn't want or need any yellow text. The chase to the zoneline in Steamfont has a ton of memories, knowing that I could beat someone there by going "over" the mountain by Halv (?) vice so many elves going "around" it from the mills. To be there waiting was gold when they arrived.

However... knowing you'll get to hear the dying sound effects if they do zone and you zone slow... that's also gold. I was a slow zoner so I never got to chase anyone beyond the zoneline when they did make it. I didnt want a sticker but I did want to make the biggest impact on the player when he came to Steamfont to smoke gnomes.

The cost/benefit of ending zoneplugging to save your life is a goooooood thing in the end IMO.

I sure did. =/

Anything to combat zone plugging would be awesome. Plain and simple: it's an easily-abused exploit that makes the game less fun.

Arguing in favor of zone plugging is pure lols. Networking strategy has no place in an mmorpg IMO.

I love you. Really.

This server will be amazing. No hacking was the best announcement possible. No yellow text and no zone plugging will be icing on the already delicious cake.

Why is it so much lols?
What I think is lame is that people with a faster comp have an obvious advantage when it comes to zoning. Taking out plugging is seriously fked up and if thats the case I wouldnt even make a melee.

To even out taking out plugging can you should make a minimum zone time for people with rediculous amounts of money to spend on a fast computer? Say minimum zone time is 15 - 20 seconds.

If they complete their zone, re zone, then I appear after he has already zoned I lose hands down. This would be 100% frustrating and to know that they can get away every time by doing that and I can't have any chance to escape is broken and frustrating.

On one hand we are told that the game will be the shitty unbalanced eq we all love and hate, and on the other hand we want to fix a lot of old problems no one ever really saw as problems during live PVP days.

Lets balance the classes while we are at it.
