You said it not me!

Couldnt agree more - but then again for the constant pvpers it would ruin the game for them =/

I would say stat loss would be pointless. If someone dies the death time should be longer. One or two hours.

With such a withering attack on my person, I am not entirely sure I will be able to resist crying... boo-hoo

Because at the end of the day we're not all looking to go into that much depth, we need have a balance between enjoyment and good roleplay. Also the whole death/unconciousness/injury aspect of our roleplay makes the least sense and for the most part is something i'd rather enjoy if given the choice.

There should be consequnces to RPvP, and I am firmly in favour of item looting as a means of giving that consequnce.

Look what you did, you made the baby cry, and I who just finished breast-feeding him.

Anyhow, Raziel, that's a stupid suggestion; why? Because it has no motivation whatsoever. No way I'm joining in a war if I'm going to stay out of game play for 2 hours, I'll just end up logging out and not coming back until the next day.

Then again (look how I throw it back and forth like coloured juggling balls (I those)) it might make armies more careful and more eager to flee, which in turn destroys the thought of formation battle.

That's another topic. Geez.. they confused you now, huh?

Formation fighting never really existed in the sort of 'period' of warfare that UO reflects, nor would it have ever taken place on the small scale that our battles do.

I like formation fighting, but im a realist and know it's not plausible in post AoS PvP. Mortal strike doomed formations.

Let's ban mortal strike.

Why? Nothing wrong with battles these days. It's realistic really. Look at Braveheart - did they all lock shields and trade blows? Hell's no. It was just chaos.
