I think a majority is positive to these changes, but they are probably not on this forum. We are in a stress test with a lot of new people who want to try out the game. Combined with an unfinished reputation-flagging system it's probably not positive for anyone being ganked while trying stuff out. It's not permamnent for sure, with exception I hope with guards near crusher/grinders if they belong to a guarded town.
Oh noes we can't just roll newbies who've been playing the game for only a couple hours doing a poor to mediocre farm because they're too noob to know there's better, whatever will we do
Haha big no. Put some effort into your ganks.
My violin for griefers is so small that I lost it somewhere, sorry.
So since the graveyard is "relatively" safe in comparison to 95% of the rest of the map being non protected. It is comparable to making PvP an option? Lets be real, killing newbies in the GY is some pretty lame stuff to begin with. Go outside into the world and PvP.
Maybe this is a temporary solution or maybe its not. And I may be a vet of disenting voice here but I think this may be needed anyway. We have 5-7 thousand players in Discord at any one time during this stress test. We want people to learn the game in Haven (I agree there should be massive limits there) and then move to main server. IF new players have been told to go the graveyard to farm up monies for supplies and vets just hang out and grief them, they WILL quit after the stress test and never return. I think the lesson that needs to be learned from MO1 is that if you want a populated game with players from every play style, MO2 needs to adapt. How fun was it release plus 2 years in MO1 without any new blood to speak of?
