With the last invasion event being upon us, we once again return to the idea of adding a PVP zone to the event. It would work as follows:
1. A small portion of the town(say 100x100 area) would flag you grey when entering. A gump woud pop up warning you that you are about to enter the PVP area of the invasion event and you will be flagged grey(not criminal, like bucs den) upon entering this area.
2. This PVP zoned off area would have 2-3x the drop rate of the normal area. With the increased risk of being gray and attackable by anyone in this area, you get an increased drop rate. Risk vs. Reward is the very foundation of UO.
3. The entire other portion of the invasion city will remain as is, full guard zone protected. If you dont want to have risk PVP for the sake of getting increased drops, you can simply farm in the majority of the invasion city under guard protection as usual.
We brought this up in discord and @Swayze said he liked the idea and would be down for implementing it as long as there was some traction behind it.
If youre against this idea, please post in this thread why -- so far the only argument has been "EQMS will just dominate this zone and get all the rewards themselves". If thats your answer, thats fine, and you are entitled to your opinion.... just be honest.
Many people who arent pure PVErs find these multiple day events of guard zone farming to kill the server outside of the event, this would give these groups(OGS, POWER/$, EQMS, trin, QoQ, etc) a reason to group and play together at the event to fight for control over the increased spawn area.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS NONETHELESS!
