Probably. The gold drop should be 100%. Now I doubt anyone will try to grind money ever again... oh I forgot... there are banks...

No one would ever do anything but kill each other with spawn weapons.
What we want to encourage is players doing something with their huge stockpiles of gold. First step is to remove the endless flow of money from admins, the second step being limiting their loss upon death. I think it'll take away the fear of losing everything, causing them to take action more often. Unfortunately the side effects is players not valuing their life as much.

They won't get much by spawn killing and there is the respawn waiting time and, of course, administrators to prevent spawn killing. I think it's worth a shot.

I am not saying crazy high, but right now you can be a millionaire and walk around avoiding 20% robberies just by dieing. I have opposed high gold drops very often because randoming tends to get out of control and people go from valuing more or less their life adjusting how much they carry, creating the 2h naked man syndrom.
However, right now it is very low. What % have you set right now?
My suggestion is a middle ground. A bit higher, so that people do give a damn about dieing, but not high enough that it is discouraging.

10%

Hm, makes sense.
Splintert said:
Very interesting point, which made me thinking... about the whole refund system from admins. I mean the refunding for randoming/resets/crashes can be abused so easily
and the player can swim in gold after several easy tricks.
Hm.
Splintert said:
You aren't thinking straight. If I'm fighting for a faction and I happen to die, I'll demand payment from my lord to buy more equipment or at least some coins to be able to change my poor hide to the serf class and go to work (it costs only 150 gold coins I think).
If I am an outlaw or a "white knight" and I happen to die, then boo hoo, life isn't fair and I've made the choice to be my own boss. Now I have to loot corpses or do something else.
If I am a serf or a peasant all I have to do is to use the starting tools to raise some gold.
Also, this game isn't centered in gold making, you have to discourage people from pursuing the "get rich" goal, not encourage them.
Not over yet. This game is ultra boring with all this protection, the harder it becomes the better. To understand my point, simply go play Minecraft in survival mode for a time, get bored of it and then go play Don't Starve.

The game is even more boring when you die to an arrow to the face and have to start from square 0. The Lord will be busy not having any money either, because when he inevitably dies he won't be able to fund any of his men. Similarly, serfs won't be able to produce anything because they get killed.

The game is boring when you die to an arrow just to go to the same place, to guard the same area and with the same equipment and weapons bought again, just 5 minutes later. The lord can use his brains and store his money in the faction gold chest, if he doesn't do it then it will be his fault entirely when he can't supply his men anymore. Serfs can make money with the starting tools and, in the same way that there are brigands and looters, there are guards and good characters. Think outside the box.

At the start. But people will eventually group and help each other, starting with the stick gathering and then going to more complex things, cooperation will have a deeper meaning. But since this is all hypothetical, we can't do much aside from discuss what the outcome would be. Unless if someone is willing to try...
Also, Splintert, I don't know if I have you on steam, but I wanted to show you something...

Hey, there are interesting points made.
However, with the new server banking people can deposit and withdraw at NPC any time, those they won't need to carry vast amounts of gold. When they do, they will choose to be protected. (This is a coming feature of the server, if I am not wrong).
100% seems extreme, but slightly larger seems a bit more appropriate, say 15% at first.
I think that too many changes at a time is a bad policy. Let's see how the lighter rules environment works. If the server owners throw everything in at once at it goes wrong, we wouldn't even be able to tell what it was.
I had a fun time today and I think that most people in the server did. Let's see how it works out.

Why not set it to 25%? Right now you can onyl rob for 20 %. It's techniclly more worth dying (10%) than paying. Make it 25% and you'll try to not die just as often, both in robbeiries nad normal play.
