Besides, if someone drops link with on char and logs in with another, it is quite often caught and punished. How does it screw them? It's not like > Nah. If you deleted a char, there's no reason to keep someone from playing another for 10 minutes. It won't help against 'scouting' much. Right. Helps against logging in an alt to take revenge though. Let people cool off a bit. Might be a bit extreme, but if this goes in, you shouldn't be able to log off for 10 minutes after being pk'd, else you'd end up in the locker of 2. > This isn't a bad idea either, but instead of 10 minutes, I'd say until level 5. Make that guy level up a bit. Good enough. > This sucks, I agree, but many of your suggestions seem a bit extreme. Yep. I know.. I just despise cheaters.
they're insta-slayed. And if you do not put
in something like this, people will just
scout and drop directly after. (Don't know
how often they are punished for that, as
there's little chance they were already
involved in a pk)
