This would fit "inaction has consequences" mentality, to balance "actions have consequences" mentality.
I fully expect to see Gothix in game being a terror to all the carebears looking to play AoC as a PvE game haha.
The corruption mule serves no purpose but to make the killing blow anyway.
So hopefully that loophole gets closed.
Any guild can play both sides of the field as ally and enemy. So any measure that rely on allies/enemies to remove corruption is instantly open to abuse.
The only way is to ensure all attackers get corrupt and the only way to work it off is personal endeavour that cant be bypassed, assisted or accelerated. XP can be accelerated and assisted with. The only thing that cant be tampered with is time played.
So I would suggest a 'time played' sentence instead.
Any kills while corrupted escalate the level.
1 kill = 2 days corruption @ 95% power
2 kill = 4 day corruption @ 85% power
3 kill = 8 days corruption @ 70% power
4 kill = 16 days corruption @ 50% power
5 kill = 32 days corruption @ 30% power
6 kill = 64 days corruption @ 15% power
7 kill = 128 days corruption @ 5% power
No escape. No remorse. No get out of jail free card. No short cuts.
Do the crime you face the time.
But then all you do is delete characters and bypass the time, if at any time you see 'instant level 90 in the cash shop'.
A multiboxer will simply have the thing follow and work off its time anyway, but at least it will be useless for a long time.
And the rich kids simply pay players to build a character for them and they buy2play a 'clean' levelled avatar from your nearest quality asian grind shop.
They play you long time!
This is "conflict based MMO" (IS marketing term, not mine) so either play "the conflict" or go play tetris.
Its about a time and a place and whether PvP should be 100% on in 100% of the game.
I gather you will be most disturbed by the fact people can run into their house and escape.
Thats a safe zone. Might have escaped your attention.
