OK. You and Valg seems to agree on this point, but I can still see killing some neutral mobs that activly help evil mobs or do evil things like raiders, ect.

But no more Tarus bracers or dwarf elite guards. Got it.

Yeah, I am a bit lazy, but I'd rather play the game then spend so much time re-gearing.

OK, how do y'all feel about this part of my post:


"Maybe the Danes that made the original code where neutrals attack you if you request had this in mind, so goodies could not be totally cut out of certain areas/eq but didn’t have to dish-out the first blow for RP purposes?

You must make some allowances because of the fact that this is a MUD, and I think the whole request from neutral, they attack you thing is one of the most basic ones programmed into so many MUDs."


Admittidly I've used this alot as an RP workaround. If you guy's don't like it, why not change the code where if you request from a neutral, he just tells you no?
