Note #20 by Driadan posted at Tue Jan 8 12:18:49 2002Title: 'Newbiekilling'Enough of this already. What happens to you people? In answer to yourfirst question: no, playerkilling is not illegal... yet. I postedat playerinfo, ages ago, regarding the issue and the killing spreewe were sufering these days. It is pretty sad that I have to wasteboth my time and your time again with this thing.Will you ever realize that this useless newbiekilling helps NOBODY?It does hurt the mud, making true newbies leave. Now some peoplewill pop talking about damn good equip and some other things. I'm sorrybut save your typing, this post is not regarding those kills. I talkabout these times people kills newbies because of race or religionin their own racial strongholds while wearing crappy stuff. Thenthe killer uses to brag about it. But of course, if the newbie wasa not so newbie according to his equip, there will be more braggingand people pointing fingers and muttering siteplaying.There will be new guard systems in play soon. There will berestrictions when entering those areas. And I feel like boosting themaccording to the mortality rate, personally. I won't do that for balance'ssake, but I swear I'd turn them into hells otherwise because this is[Note 20] From 1 to 23 of 41 (56%) - h for help. fa silly nonsense.During my vacations I have been thinking about ways to restrict thething with things like level/skills caps on items. But that is crapif you keep ignoring the fact that the one you killed was wearingsca newbie chainmail, a long sword and a buckler as treasure.In any case don't be surprised it things happen to change when youtry to raid the next nursery.DriadanPS: don't start another useless discussion about newbiekilling yesor newbiekilling not, please. Apply common sense, while common sensemeans keeping in mind that TRUE newbies are the basis of this place.Killing a newbie to try to discourage him from playing a race/guildis not only weak and pathetic, it's plain nerd and stupid, and itis not to be tolerated for too long. *************************************************''You lead (Newbies) west.> Old Shadowfall: Ruins [s,e].Khareverian (Newbie) and Two Hobgoblin Warriors are here.] party move south] You are attacked by Hobgoblin Warrior.You are attacked by Hobgoblin Warrior.You are attacked by Hobgoblin Warrior.You are attacked by Hobgoblin Warrior.You lead (Newbies) south.> fl mo> Khareverian draws blood on Hobgoblin Warrior with a cut from his Blade ofAnzaroth.You begin to cast flash.> You crush Hobgoblin Warrior with your Staff of Aldinanachru for 3 HPs damage.You chant, 'xylith glaniadah'.You are surrounded by a blue circle of electrical energy!You harm Hobgoblin Warrior with your electrical wave.You harm Hobgoblin Warrior with your electrical wave.You harm Hobgoblin Warrior with your electrical wave.You harm Hobgoblin Warrior with your electrical wave.Hobgoblin Warrior hits you harmlessly with his Steel Short Sword.Hobgoblin Warrior misses you with his Steel Short Sword.Khareverian (Newbie) convulses in agony as Ankhar places a Demon Dagger in hisback!You notice Ankhar nearby.Khareverian hits Hobgoblin Warrior harmlessly with his Blade of Anzaroth.Ankhar chants, 'frezzus es coe'.Ankhar finishes a spell as a cone of cold blasts Khareverian.Ankhar dealt the death blow to Khareverian.Khareverian dies, and his weapons eerily fall from his limp hands and drop toscthe floor.Khareverian dies(sigh).scHp: 73(85) Gp: 42(121) Xp: 179521 Socp: 80> Hp: 73(85) Gp: 42(121) Xp: 179521 Socp: 80> glanceOld Shadowfall: Ruins [s,e,n].Ankhar, Ghost of Khareverian (Newbie) and Four Hobgoblin Warriors are here.Corpse of Khareverian (Newbie).Blade of Anzaroth.> You hit Hobgoblin Warrior harmlessly with your Staff of Aldinanachru.Hobgoblin Warrior misses you with his Steel Short Sword.Hobgoblin Warrior hits you harmlessly with his Steel Short Sword.Hobgoblin Warrior misses you with his Spiked Flail.Hobgoblin Warrior misses you with his Steel Short Sword.searchsearchAfter a while of intensive searching you find nothing.> You look carefully at everything, but you find nothing.> searchYou look carefully at everything, but you find nothing.] hAnkhar gets a shadow cloak, a Silk shirt, a shadow ring, a silver bracers, ahelmet, a Kender Medallion, a Battered boots, 24 platinum, 16 gold, 3 silverand 3 copper coins, a scroll of vipers, a Silk trousers, an ocarina and amithril chainmail from corpse of Khareverian (Newbie).The attempt to h didn't really work out.> Ghost of Khareverian (Newbie) leaves south.glanceOld Shadowfall: Ruins [s,e,n].Ankhar and Four Hobgoblin Warriors are here.Corpse of Khareverian (Newbie).Blade of Anzaroth.*******************************************Ankhar tells you: i cannot kill npcs... cannot steal well... cannot stab players with more than lvl 10... |
