I propose something like "space reservation" for the money or for points or for other...

For example:

- reservation 20x20 blocks in space from max low to max high
- all buildings in this space can be modified only by builder

It prevents destruction own buildings by other players.

hehe

But this makes PVP annoying. And what happens when that player quits?
If I wanted to annoy people I would by lines across the map just so people could only build really small things. Then, I would fill them with lava and watch as everyone quit because they couldn't get rid of it.

I think this is a very bad idea. Traps and NPC guards would be better.

Perhaps a "guarded area" that has paid guards patrolling it. You destroy stuff the guards come and attack. Would eliminate most problems and prevent people from purchasing the map.

Mardok you didn't enjoy my great wall?

And i added a nice new piece to "your" house... didn't u liked it? i guess not xD

Now there is a serious part of topic:

Maybe 2 type of servers.

1. Server with no rules:
- where we can destroying other buildings
- killing other players and do everything

2. Server with limits:
- pvp on but destroying buildings is impossible
- we should pay for space
- terrain modify is impossible in private space

runewake2: You said guards and traps...
Static traps and cannons ok, but guards is associated with more new bugs...
And new question: how is limit of guards? More guards = more calculations for server and more lags

For me PVP only in battle is enough, i don't need destroying other players buildings. Eventually buildings takeover shoud be ok too.


And last idea:
- add something like minimum distance to construction other players

My idea is a sort of reward. Say someone destroys your building, a reward is placed on their head. This is displayed to all nearby PC's who can then attack the player to recieve the award. Obviously the bigger the game the better this will work. Also, it would keep the bugs to a minimum and make a neat way to make money.

You could also hire specific players, these players will always recieve the "[Player] destroyed [Your Name]'s building. A [X] Gold reward is on their head." This could act as a normal quest and could either be ignored or not.

The player could then set a Max Reward for each building they make so they don't go bankrupt. Additionally the reward would never exceed the players current gold. If it attempts to at the next login a message saying, protection compromised or something.

I think an entirly (or at least mostly) player built quest system would be neat! That is where this idea comes from. Actually, I was making a game made entirly by the player, it just never got done. I'm just recycling some of my better ideas for it.
