    I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone else discuss this yet. There was a very interesting nugget in that interview in regards to PvP.

    The interview of course had its usual "don't lawyer me bro" disclaimer so I'm not sure this will 100% be implemented, but RG/LB said in the interview that he assumed if one player challenged another player to a duel that they'd have the freedom to determine the loot rules for that duel.

    It actually had been mentioned a while back as a possibility ... eventually even guilds that declare war on one another may have these options afforded to them

    But yeah - all things subject to change / don't lawyer them bro :)

    Just logged in to say that this interview was what made me decide to become a backer! I've been busy playing a few other games, but this interview really hit it home that this might be something special, and I'd like to help out as much as I can, from the beginning!

    At the 1:26:30 mark, Mr. Garriott's Pre-Show discussion takes off again after the official interview. Be sure to watch that as well!

    There might be a few nuggets of info that you hadn't heard before in there, also. ;)

    Thank you for the warm welcome and a whole-hearted well met! :)

    I've been perusing this forum for a little while now getting a sense of the community and learning what I can of SotA that I didn't gather from the interview. I'm very thankful to see a generally positive and constructive as well as a VERY creative community here! I was very impressed by Mr. Garriott dropping names of organizations within the community that had made significant contributions to the project. (That plaque was pretty sweet, too!)

    I'm sure you'll be seeing a few more MH members popping up around here soon as we are definitely keeping an eye on this project. I personally am excited about the crafting system being integrated with world drops/loot, the back to the roots questing (no stupid exclamation marks over npcs or hand holding!), and the player housing concept. I've done a little RP on the D&D side, so I'm looking forward to seeing people interact as such throughout the world. I really enjoy seeing the creativity of others within a persistent world like SotA. Can't wait to join in the fun and go on lots of adventures with you all!!

    See ya around!

    Anything but full loot is a garbage system that is supposed to cater to "casual gamers" but caters to noone, gimping the gamelay instead.

    I couldn't disagree with you more.

    That being said, you can duel people and set the loot rule to full loot then for those duels.
