Crafting & PVP

[Sabbicat]

You have mentioned in you answer section that there is full PVP and Full Loot but with consequenses and Rulse. As a crafter will there be safe locations to work? It would be disheartening to have gotten those uber resources and be working on crafting that epic gear to be killed and looted in the process.

I believe they have said there are some type of safe spots. Anyways the consequenses have been talked by the forum members quite a bit. And we believe that it will be much like UO consequenses.

safe spots most likely don't mean people can't attack you. if you're crafting in a city, i could club you over the head, but most likely i'd be guard whacked before you were dead, so it's relatively safe since you'll be protected.

or they could do like UO and guards can ride down on lightning bolts that kill you in an instant.

Thanks. I dont have the UO experience to draw apon so any information is good.

Ironically enough, I don't have the UO experience either. But from what I have hear is that in that players get red names when they kill someone and then they get limited to where they can go in the world as people would kill them, or a guard would kill them.

Sabbicat, there will be no 'epic gear' or 'uber resources'. Items, including weapons and armor deteriorate over time and use. You'll most likely be making the big bucks mass producing crude iron swords.

But as for questions, I'm wondering about animation for crafting. Will it be similar to LOTRO's crafting animations, where you would actually start hammering away at an anvil? Or will it be like WoW, where you look like kid out on the playground on a snowy day, trying to warm up your hands?

you'll want to do all your crafting in cities.. you're technically safe there because although people can attack you, if they do they'll be attacked by guards. there won't be zones where it will pop up some message saying "you can't attack in town!" or anything like that. but if you stay inside the city walls, you'll pretty much be safe to craft without worrying about being killed because most people aren't going to randomly attack you, and even if they did, the guards would probably kill them before you're dead.

in UO, guards insta-killed you, so if you cast a fireball at someone, you would be dead pretty much before it even hit them. it won't be like this in MO i'm sure, guards will be more like player characters, so the enemy will have a chance to fight back, but you don't have to worry.. i doubt one pathetic griefer is going to be taking out a few guards on his own.
