Safe zone rules
In light of recent events, I feel that this poll is in order...
Option #1 - We completely restore the dueling pit safezones including del pond and just let everyone figure it all out on their own from there
Option #2 - We restore the dueling pits to the way they were last week. (Del pond and a few others remaining unsafe.
Option #3 - We leave the dueling system alone the way it currently is (NO Safezones)
Option #4 - We give my latest idea a shot to try to neutralize AFKers and duel pit interference with field PVP. Here's a copy and paste from the other thread if you have not gotten a chance to see it yet. (Safezones would be in effect)
"I was thinking of completely blocking off all physical exits from the duel arena by removing the steps, and adding line of sight blockers around the perimeter so that people can't just use them for the aspects that I discussed, and then making the only possible way to get out of the duel pits is a few teleporters set up with a keyword and time delay (Probably about five to ten seconds) so that people can't use them to just jump out at people, but putting them back as safe zones, but they would be completely be isolated. Maybe some bankers would be in order for convenience, because the only way out of the duel pits would be use of the public moongate or by recalling.
As far as the AFKers are concerned, I'm sure we could get creative as a way to deal with them. I see jailing them as pointless, because what do they care? They're AFK anyways, which is just gonna be just what they do with their jail sentence. It just takes a creative mind to figure out what to do with them. I'm thinking a [set poison lethal, or simply kicking them out of the pits for the PK's to deal with might be in order. That way, you all could have your duel pits, spectate them, participate w/o getting ganked, and it wouldn't be so much of a temporary trammel. Just a separate aspect of UO that people might find a hard time abusing.
Obviously, the way of entering the duel arenas would be by use of the delucia location from a public moongate, or you could always just start up a duel. "
Anyways, please provide mature feedback, your opinion, and any other constructive opinions.
