Title: Murderers
Post by: TheGrimReaper on December 14, 2012, 08:52:44 AM
Soo, was thinking if it's possible to get all NPC vendors to buc's den cos if you are a murderer you can't buy bandages or recall runes for example. This would help a lot, cos otherwise you have to ask other players all the time to buy things for you and it's frustrating. I know you can always use the 0 kill token from PvP coin store but it's hard to get PvP coins as there aren't many players joining battles or DailyPvP and if you are saving PvP coins for something, you don't want to spend them. And waiting to get murderer status away takes ages. :'(

Ok, but as the King says, with risk comes reward, if you go red by killing other players dont you think the penalty should be severe?....Nigel

I know but the funny part is there's blacksmith etc but no magery shop or tailor shop... So it's kinda weird plus i find being a murder more funnier and more challenging, not as a penalty ^^ I actually wanted to become one again, but now as there's this contest coming i can't buy anything lol.

I agree with grim. The penalty is that anyone can attack them. And i totaly support pvp players, although i am not one. They should be able to at least buy some supplies...This could help keep pvp players here aswell. Which is nice to have the diversity.

It's been that way on UO for 15 years.


Buying from other players, usually newer players if they are selling such small items, helps them & builds an economy, and you also make relationships.

I could go with the positives all day with this.

Bottom line you want to kill anyone you want, but you don't want to put some effort into getting some luxary things you want when you do it lol

Hehe, well i wouldn't find buying bandages as a luxury, i'd call it as a thievery lol, usually people are kind enough to give free bandages but anyhow. Being able to buy bandages would help me kill players faster haha, jk. But seriously i'd be hated in a week if i would start yelling every hour for someone to buy bandages. Why not make some kind of bandage stones or something like there are those arrow stones, like ''Buy 3k Bandages For 10k'' Wouldn't even need to buy scissors all the time and keep the item count down as i always get my scissors disappearing somewhere and just buy new ones then i finally figure out i had 50 scissors in my bag. Just a cool idea that might be nice to have.

The community is already stepping up to help.

I just talked with him, and some of Soul's members. We'll gladly help him out just like anyone else.

I'll talk to more Soul members as the day goes along. Long as he covers the cost he's got whatever he needs.

I'm all for helping anyone out...But the concept of making a deal with the Grim Reaper doesn't really sound like a good idea  :P

to go red is a lifestyle choice. if you want to murder players for their insurance or choice items you must pay the price.

if you have a house no reason why an alt cant stock a chest there with day to day items. i dont see your problem

Like it has been said, to go RED is a choice you can make, but don't have to. So, Grim, as your guild leader i tell you: Don't cry, it's the way you wanted it to be. :P

(Rumor has it there are really people who go red "accidentally". This is funny.^^)

(There is always a way to handle Reds: Run or... - better choice - hunt them.^^)

That's not the problem i'm having. The thing is that i don't find the logic that there's blacksmith etc... But no Tailor or Mage?

Like it has been said, to go RED is a choice you can make, but don't have to.

While I agree that this is true, it was also my assumption that Buc's Den in Felucca was the "murderer's town" (Bucaneer's Den - the place where shadowy, underhanded, villians could do business with NPCs) but at the same time they had to risk being attacked to do so. 

Could it be that we've just become so accustomed to seeing red names in the towns that we frequent that we have become complacent and are not offering them the true punishment that they deserve?  DEATH!

Wow, can you tell that I had a LONG day at work today?  :)

I'll add this to the next patch;
All murderers will be pink instead of red.
That's punishment enough >:D

We tried that, it's too exploitable. Maybe we will find a better way in the future.

If you could craft a Murdered Slayer that does extra damage to reds, that would be hilarious!!

It would make our reds lives a lot harder. Imagine hmm 2 decent PvPers fighting each other but the other one has a overpowered weapon. :D That would not be fair, hehe  :)
