There has been a lot of hatred and discourse amongst us in the Paizo forum. We are a tight community bound by time and numbers constricted to a mini forum world that will eventually become Pathfinder Online. Every person who is reading this is anxious that their hopes for the game will not come to fruition. We are miniscule compared to what is coming to PFO. Alliances should be made now before OE because the mega guilds are coming.

Burying a hatchet is a sign that all perceived wrongs of the past are forgiven. I, as a player, vow that I will never use anything said on the Paizo boards against a player in game.

No guild signatures needed. Just sign if you can make the past the past.

I was going to add a system of coordinates drawn onto the current map to make it easier to discuss. Any ideas? Vertical is easy, assigning a value to horizontal mapping is kicking my butt. I have a few ideas, but they seem over complicated. I've never worked with hexes.

I don't want to add negative numbers for this map since it's just the starter map and will change.

Here in Montana there's a monument that the Natives used as a landmark indicating a safe area to cross the Yellowstone River. Captain William Clark signed his name into the sandstone in 1806.

The only reason I bring this up is because I would love to see not-on-the-map crossing points across impassable rivers instead of bridges on a map. Maybe make them harder to cross than an actual bridge making them less desirable, but possible.

As far as the edge of the map, I'd like to add a roll play element. The River Kingdoms have been sealed by magic walls by some evil wizard or god and the only way to expand the map is through player action. Be that through the sheer number of players, or an event that players have to coordinate efforts.
"The wall of the God Xyz has been weakened." instead of a public acknowledgement of new hexxes being opened. It would NOT mean actual territory has been opened, but would players scrambling to see what's happening. Maybe an indicator on which area will open up in the future, or an actual expansion.

In Ultima Online, Humanoid NPCs could loot an item from your corpse. I always waited around a minute after dying so I could see which one, if any, looted from me.

I always dreaded running back to my corpse and seeing a player there with a bunch of dead NPCs and a criminal flag from looting my corpse. If they didn't have the criminal flag and were waiting there, it usually meant they found an item on an NPC. 90% of the time the player would ask if an item was yours and either give it back or sell it back to you.

If no players were around and my "+4 int. Blacksmith Hammer of Vanquishing" was missing, I'd have to start killing NPCs to get it back.

I would never use a scam to take money or items from another player, but is trickery going to be allowed in game? Gambling, pyramid schemes or not handing over the correct amount of money during a trade are examples.

In Ultima Online they were common. Sure, a couple of scams made me a little mad. Scams became a game to me, to the point that I sought out scammers to see if they could get me.

In an open sandbox game like PFO I think it's essential to allow these things to happen... As much as I will gripe and cry when it happens to me. Players become notorious for scamming and create a lot of buzz on forums and in game chat. A scammer might get some gold for cheating, but their name will forever be tarnished.
