They do that so you cry in town or help chat how you got your wig split in the graveyard and the veteran players will know there is pvp outside.
Thievery Removed From Roadmap
- Thread starter CherryKush
- Start date
Came back after almost 2 years being sure that thievery, wagons and boats are finally here.
Dissapointed.

So you don't know about the Space Thursars yet??? Oh boy, you better sit down...
There is a fundamental failure to understand the purpose of a "veteran" being able to gank at a graveyard.
The game's content comes from the players.
You know that scripted event you see in 99% of other games? Where something happens, and you get your team together to fight it?
That is how this game works, but WITHOUT scripting. Players drive the events on this game.
If someone is killing people persistently at the graveyard, what happens? They give people purpose. You need your villains so your heroes have something to do.
You should be thanking that guy for having the initiative to create an event in the world. Do you not understand that? They ARE the content. They are the reason to get gear. They are the reason you're doing anything in the game at all. To build to a point where you can enact your will on the ingame world, whatever that may be; villainous, heroic or somewhere inbetween.
Don't like the guy killing people at the graveyard? Don't like people bullying the weak? Well, now you've got a reason to put your gear on and go defend them. You like bullying people? You like getting a rise out of people, or you just want to take their stuff to advance your own progress? Then you kill people at a graveyard. Maybe you are the weakling being bullied in the graveyard.. You have a choice to ask for help, and then they have the choice whether or not to help you or not.
The game is made in a way where constant moral dilemma's come up and you have to make choices. Why do you think the missions don't let you share the NPCs (Aside from the bosses, which is a shame, it'd be a bloodbath)? Because they want you to be confronted with a dilemma, in turn, this leads to potential events. The game is meticulously designed with this endgoal in mind. Player based events.
LOOK at the bigger picture. I swear, some people can't see the whole ecosystem at play in this game. You need people to do things like this in the graveyard. It is how the game creates it's events : via the players.

A case in point, someone started a guild back in MO1 because the horse snipers were taking down other people's mounts parked outside the bank from afar. By putting himself between the horse sniper and their next victim, it blocked the line of fire.
The person then went on to do transport jobs for those who didn't want to risk it because they had enemies or had too many things to transport and needed additional runners. He kept his clients' identities anonymous so no one knew who he was working for, or what he was transporting.
The PKers, guild politics and all the large-scale macro stuff you see going on between guilds were what created content for the smaller players like him and made the world fun and interesting for him.
That person was me.
so a troll mechanic for trolls. Great exactly what the game needs...It was a lot of fun, endless hours of entertainment
Pssst... This is a ruthless full loot PVP game that boasts how "hardcore" it is compared to other games. My little hand in your pocket would feel like a tickle in such a dire place... ~giggles~
Fun Fact: Thievery was easy to counter in MO1 if you took the initiative to do so
Troll mechaics existing isnt the problem. Its the risk/time vs. reward problem. Running around naked and stealing 250g regularly would be a bad mechanic. Its just like mining. I dont care getting slapped while naked mining... but i do mind that mining takes so godamn long and is so boring that its hard to stay vigilant.
