Pvp and guards.

How about the option to pay the guards of in Dalanis so I can quest. Maybe make it like a day pass or by the hr 100k or 1m for the day? And for the person who will say "that's messed up that you can do that" also make it so if you act out you get killed. This is for questing purpose only!

I am assuming he's on a PvP server, where the guards in towns kill you on sight if you're red, making it next to impossible to quest normally.

I understand why you have a problem now that there are no decs! Some new item like a shield with a minute/seconds timer from the item shop. Good idea because reds need the AH too.

If you're on a pvp server, you're on a pvp server! Gotta learn to work around it - having a reputation that gets you attacked by guards is part of the gameplay for pvp and not just for rom. You earn that reputation by likely interrupting others questing. So why do you get a quest break?

Hey.. PvP servers always call us on the PvE servers carebears. You chose to not be a "carebear", so deal with it. Don't want to deal with it.. then you should go on a pve server.

My tip for you my friend is to not be red in the first place. If you're on the Wanted list, then you just can't be seen in the open.

But pvp is fun! In ch1 there was hero and demon status. That would be nice to have again, more incentive to play with pvp as the server was set up as. I met a lot of reds that capped and statted only to find they needed to level again and with max negative rep it was pretty impossible to level since the epic questlines make you go into the cities. That much rep takes forever to go down, but you have to keep up with the other gamers for pvp or you end up being called a joke.



I have an idea for frogster to reset reputations at the beginning of each level cap increase so reds are able to level, gear, and then get back to their business.

ok but then what would be the point of playing on a pvp server? it is like rom does not want people to pvp. also in other games there are guards protecting the gates but if u can get past them u are in a safe zone where u cant pvp any1. guess it was just easier to put a ridiculous amount of guards in.

A PvP server isn't just full of people who want to pvp though. You obviously have to protect the people who want to quest somehow. You can't just have them ganked over and over. It'll make them want to quit and thus RoM would lose potential customers.

On the other hand, by establishing guards all over the world in a PvP server, it would actually give PvErs a chance to survive more than a few seconds and somewhere "to hide" or stay away from the PvPers.

I feel that something needs to be done about questing and being Red. Sure, the player chose to go red, but that should not eliminate the chance for that player to progress in the game.

I have mentioned before possibly changing the guards KOS to players under the criminal OR hunter status, thereby creating a fair environment for both sides of PvP players. This could be exploited as players would get killed at the AH more easily, but honestly, it's fairly easy to do under the current system anyways.

Furthering this, the guards damage rate could be altered depending on whether the player is simply red, or is under criminal status. This would still give whites the advantage overall with guard placement but would make it easier for reds to avoid guards when questing. For example, a red player not currently a criminal would die in ten guard hits, whereas a criminal red would die within the usual three.

Possibly some sort of "Questing card" could be introduced to allow reds to pass beyond guards, but render them unable to PvP (i.e. attack other players) for 24 hours or something. This would allow reds to quest/use the AH, but still be able to run around and attack other players when this questing period ends. Again, this could be exploited, but with a reasonably lengthy questing period exploiting this may not be worthwhile for PK'ers.
