And if you get to your corpse in good time, you can even retrieve all your EQ,

yyyy in PvP?

Ha! Good point. I conflated the general hospitab ... ility? of the realms with the question of PVP.

We have rules against harrassment, so you cannot be killed over and over without reason. We have no permadeath. And if you get to your corpse in good time, you can even retrieve all your EQ, which saves on you. The realms are already as hospitable as I would want them to be.

I would be amazed if certain guilds and races aren't crippled by this change (obligatory acknowledgement that we haven't seen it in action yet). Certain kinds of magic-users, thieves, and the non-bludgeoning races (as has been pointed out) seem to be directly in the crosshairs, for example. I assume...

Neat!

Why second-class citizens?

Oh, just in my experience, whenever a certain kind of person (into scripting/coding, been around for a while) hears that you're on a Chromebook, it's like it's some kind of joke or disaster. shrug

I know Chromebook users are almost second-class citizens in the minds of a lot of our hardcore players, but Chromebooks are more popular than ever, and Genesis just got mentioned today on a pretty big ChromeOS-nerd website: https://chromeunboxed.com/kick-it-old-school-muds-for-your-chromebook . Not ...

I thoroughly agree with Cherek here.

yes...what next?! rich *persons* club? I say we close this pandora's box before it destroys us all.

This would be a meaningful and positive change.

Interesting. I can see the logic of having such customization done in the guild itself, but in terms of making craft guilds more relevant -- what if only a smith could do it for you?

This is a non-problem. Loads of things deserve our time and energy. The immaturity of someone who wants to turn <nignore> into a racial slur isn't one of them. Such people will find ways to be assholes whether we change this particular command or not.

To clarify, I'm not suggesting a single layman guild like this should have all those specials. Like I said, I gave no thought to power/balance. I was just brainstorming.
