I'd consider movement denial to be a viable tactic at all levels of PK. If anything, it's most viable at the lowest levels of PK when word/teleport/etc. haven't come out yet for most classes and most people aren't packing a pile of potions.


I completely understand what you are saying.

But, that does not make it good for the game (especially at low levels). I can't walk from Galadon to Ysigrath without sleeping for a few minutes at the low ranks. I have to sleep to get through the pass of Gol Galath (yes, I know it was worse at one point). ####, getting to Shokai's shrine was a real treat when I used to bother with that. Or Uller's.

How about this: Levels 1-10 = no mv drain, period. After that, pick right back up with it.

My issues with 1-10 are these:

1) You can't get PK'd, so mv-suckage has nothing to do with being anyone's tactic (unless it's Tarus running your ass down in the lumberyard).
2) People just recall and sleep at the pit hoping for a refresh. Honestly? What the hell is the point other than to waste my time there?
3) MV drain from terrain is as harsh on you at level 1 as it is at level 51, but you have waaaaay less MV to work with, so it is that much worse.

Just put a reminder in at the same time that the "You can now be pwned by other characters" one shows up, saying "Take care to keep track of your stamina now."
