I do agree that battles should have consequences for guilds, but looting of players would not give this. Plus what of the smaller guilds, like the guards of Trinsic (it's never been known to be the most active group of people) so when some enemies comes to Trinsic the guards have to flee the city then, cause they can't be arsed to fight a much bigger number of people, seeing as they'd be looted afterwards.

Looting random items of players does NOT hurt a guild ic. Losing land, or a town/guild items (like the stones you can steal from diffrent towns in factions) would be great. It would make sense for us to actually do attacks too, not having some lame excuse for looking for a person etc.

I'm all for consequences after battles as long as it "hurts" the guild/army/town. But being able to loot random items from people that annoy you ig will just breed grief.

I like I said previously, if armours and weapons could be looted, a community economy could be created and the crafters of the community would be able to pull together and form some kind of organisation (not saying that they should leave each their own guilds but form an IC organisation) and create an economy.

Which in turn means that the armours need and HAVE to be created by RP chars, and not by blue characters. Works fine in BoC and I'm sure it could work if there was some kind of community crafter organisation.

What happens in real life when guards cannot or will not guard something? Im sorry but if guilds cannot either through diplomacy or arms hold onto there territory are they really entitled to it in the first place?

No poor roleplayers and morons do that, the system i propose is perfect for a game like UO.

A looting of armours would in turn make people chose not to run around in pimped out armours like Vesper and Trinsic, which makes it more even with battling.

When ive replaced my blown up Graphics card i will reactivate my account John. We can then lock Octavious and Twothumb in a room together and get them too agree to test our theory *grins evily*

Sounds like a mighty good plan.

lol John....pimped out armours? Vesper?

As you full well know we are one of the only guilds that cant Tokuno Dye our platemail. I think the pimped out armour trophy is between Cove, Grd & Kaldor!

As for looting...consequences make the fights more fun, as GMs cant agree on any concequence for any sort of event. Then looting should be allowed, but onyl resources. A character wouldn't want to loot anothers uniform, for he would have no use for it!

You know why that is Ned? Because you're ALL MAGES.

Kaldor are the King of pimps without a doubt, damn they even had a lass leading them!

Paladis has green hair too! i mean come on.. green hair!

I can summarise this threa quite nicely -

Losers*: Looting is bad
Winners*: Looting is good.
Conclusion: Nothing changes
