Pvp griefers and other hooligans.

I can't wait for this game to come out! Last night, I had a dream about a unique punishment for PvP griefers. :smile: If caught red-handed, either by other players or game masters, the griefer would be imprisoned in a public stockade in the nearest town.
Players could then interact with the imprisoned griefer by throwing rotten fruit or stones. The griefer would have to log in and spend in-game time to serve their sentence. For instance, a first-time offense might result in a one-week sentence, equating to 168 hours of in-game time in the stockade. This duration could be adjusted based on the severity of the offense.
This system would benefit Intrepid by generating revenue from player interactions and providing griefers with multiple chances for redemption. Instead of outright bans, players would be incentivized to spend time in-game, even if it's in a less-than-ideal situation.

Crazy I know. What does everyone think?

    So... the prison system from archeage you mean?

    I think the game handles griefing with the corruption mechanic. People pulling mobs and combat logging will likely be fixed by not making a character dissapear instantly as they log out, the game is in an Alpha state.

    1. why does archage having that mean its not a suggestion anymore?

    2. the pvp in this game is entirely unpunished as it is. i agree with cracking down on it alot more because right now you just group up and destroy everyone because its always 8v1.

    I'm not convinced the corruption will be successfully balanced. I'm game to see what IS does but there has been some real problems. Training people. Forcing people to flag. Snaring or mezing people when pulling and letting the mobs kill them. This is still early days, what else will griefers come up with. I'm waiting to see the answers for these actions.
