I know alot of people are frightened of Perma Death and thats understandable but what about TEMP DEATH? If your Character Dies you are "unable" to Rejoin the game for X amount of time. ( I Do NOT recommend Days Only MINUTES)
So its a POWERFUL concern for players who Really WANT to be playing but at the same time not so Frustrating as having to rebuild Everything from the floor up. I TRULY think that this idea has just enough incentive to make it an Excellent Tool for SMART and CAUTIOUS Adventuring without Taking Away from the FUN! #2 Random Loot Grab from Fallen Players. Its Frustrating to lose All your Equipment at ONCE. How about 25% ?? #3 The Ability to BURY loot in the Wild and Mark it for return. It can have a % chance for Rusting and Discovery but its Frustrating to have to trash stuff you find and its kinda fun to think you might stumble upon someone elses Buried goods!!!! #4 I think Time PLAYED should ADD to Skill or Ability Stats. It has to be ACTIVE time but its Frustrating to PLAY as Much or More than someone who Crafts a Special item yet they get Most of the Perks.
#5 A Bonus for Players who reach certain Milestones of ACTIVE playing Together! So if me and a friend spent 100 hrs Questing we get a Teamwork Feat or Stat Boost when we are TOGETHER #6 Disabling Chat during Death to Prevent Informing on an Attack or just to cause some Xtra Confusion in the Group #7 No Detection from BEHIND. Most players have a 360 View but Unless you Actually Turn Around or Perhaps look in the RearView Mirror you can be snuck up on. If you have High Alertness perhaps the Enviroment gets Quiet to Alert you of someones Presence. #8 Calling for Aid. If your Attacked you have the Option to Call out and Anyone who Assists in the Area is Promised a Reward even if its Just Manaul Labor as Payment. #9 Xtreme Weather. Not unlike SimCity but Very Very rare. these Long term events can RESHAPE the Entire Game. Normal weather fronts can be used to accompany a planned attack to eliminate the Threat of fire during a rainstorm or using a Duststorm for cover during an assault. Perhaps Fire spells and equipment do half damage in rain and sight based spells are uneffective in sandstorm etc.
#10 Teleportation Lives! You have to be an INCREDIBLE Wizard who dedicated life in order to safely teleport an Army and EVEN THEN there will be % chances for players Losing Gear, Dying, Winding up in Wrong locations. so its an Awesome tool but Very Hard to Utilize and comes at a Risk. #11 Wards! they can be used to Alert, Damage etc. The key I wanted to mention was a ward Against Teleportation would require very High Level Talent a Specialization. The Attempt to set Alerts is Difficult but the Attempt to set up TRAPS to Damage Teleported Troops can Backfire. So the focus is on Rare Talent to Preform the Wards and at a High Risk for Injury if Fail #12 Perma Death Reconsidered! I think a 1 in 100000 chance of Perma Death could add a Healthy Concern to Gameplay and an Excitement and Buzz. You might hear from a friend that heard from a friend about someone who DIED DIED! It is Super rare like the Earthquake that demolishes a city but its POSSIBLE and thats COOL!!!! #13 Leadership comes with a PRICE! If you want to RULE you must SACRIFICE as well. So for all the Power and Prestige you get there is a sacrifice to Ability Stats or Skill Pts. Leadership should be a Hard choice to help encourage GREAT leaders and not just POWERTRIPPIN Bosses!! Please add your own thoughts and ideas. I would love to hear some Feedback! I KNOW alot of this has been spoken on for YEARS but its a new day and I think some of these Ideas are FRESH. I have more details to share if anyone finds anything of particular interest.
