 I think the gobliln you saw was Bilviki, and I would not encourage you to annoy him. It could be messy.

Dorganath - 2/23/2007  12:31 PM PvP will still require consent between both parties through a new system.  That consent will last a period of time, after which PvP may not occur/continue.  Details on this will be released with V3, but the key thing here is: There is no PvP without consent.  And yes, we can track this, so anyone who abuses it in deed or spirit is going to see action from the GM Team.  
  And if needed, we can turn the whole thing off in a heartbeat.
  And that is why I mentioned discretion and maturity.
  Now, the element you describe could still come here and PvP their little hearts out...that is, until we find them and ban them.

 Would this include some sort of method of beating down an opponent and incapacitating them without killing them?  (ie. Subdual damage?)  Kell would like very much to be able to incapacitate adversaries that are merely doing their job, rather than leaving them dead... or, despite his chaotic nature, he'd like to keep some criminals alive, for later interrogation and imprisonment.

Dorganath - 2/23/2007  10:24 AM  >However, with V3 coming out, we're going to be opening PvP a bit, hoping for some maturity and discretion on the part of players without being overly burdened by procedure. And that's ultimately what's behind this whole discussion of monstrous races, is it not?  Maybe not killing another PC, but rather having the freedom to RP these conflicts, coming to combat in some cases when appropriate.

 
  No Offense, but whats keeping a WoW MMO/metagamer from joining Layo and causing problem (aka getting himself and other low lvl pcs killed)?  I mean some openness with PvP does leave some more RP options for when you are threatened by another PC, but I know people (not now on LAyo)  That would be all gung ho about Being annoying with PVP  
  And Since I have a PC cursed to look like a drow (NO!  I'm not explaining it here) I dont feel like fending off annoying meta gamering "New Guys"

 Well, that's a fair question, and I don't know why I'd take offense at it.  Here's the answer:
  I said we would be opening PvP a bit, not allowing open PvP.  There's a big difference.
  Like everything else, we'll do this the Layonara way...
  PvP will still require consent between both parties through a new system.  That consent will last a period of time, after which PvP may not occur/continue.  Details on this will be released with V3, but the key thing here is: There is no PvP without consent.  And yes, we can track this, so anyone who abuses it in deed or spirit is going to see action from the GM Team.

  I hope and pray that all temples are full 100% PVP zones, as they should be now.

 I was exploring a new place last night, that bakee and I had never been. It was called the goblin house and filled with goblins that conned easy (green). Those dang little buggers were monkey fisting their axes and opening up cans of whoop arse on us. They had +20ish to hit while using improved power attack! I'm just saying to watch which goblin you mess with! hehe

Errhhmm lads…
Just something off the record here about PvP.

In Hlint yesterday we had (probably the first) PvP on Layo and I was happy to see that a GM was around (actually there was two – but that’s a different story).

I must say it went pretty well and I was glad that there was a “judge” to see everything went according the rules.

Further, the ones involved in the PvP decided to make a party first, write in party talk to the Gm with ..//bla bla bla so everything was clear and then we are beating the cxxp out of each other.

In the end Gms and players had a blast at it “spiked” the rp not only among the active PvP’er but also around the players around them… all in all everything went down the road fine.


And what is the most important thing when you talk about PvP, SS, death, abuse, Rp and what ever... is simply. "If it is not fun for all parties, then just leave it".

 @darkstorme: Presently it will be up to you to stop attacking.
