Current
issues with our fair land.
This is an area where problems and issues with the Pacific server are listed.
This is not a bash OSI area. It is a place to learn what is going on and how to role-play the issue in your game. Any feedback is most welcome.

The main problem we seem to have is not player killing. It seems to be the lack of social skills the average PK exhibits. There have been many a time I have seen a small group of organized brigands enter an area and start a raid. The attack is strait forward and the intention is PvP, not the quick ahnilation of everyone not with them. I even see these people resurrect their victims and return portions of their inventory they do not need. These are the true players of the game. They may be evil and they may rob you but they don't strip you bare and leave your ghost to rot in an island dungeon. These types of PKs are very rare unfortunately.
The main problem seems to be the under 18 crowd (under 18 IQ not age). These people seem to believe that destroying hours of role-play and hard work for their 15 seconds of glory is acceptable. They tend to strip bodies bare even of items they do not need. They then sort out the unwanted and heavier items and bury them on a rotting corpse and will even guard that corpse till it decays. These types of people do nothing but take from the game. The new Notoriety system will help curb these maniacal Quake bots. Unfortunately it cannot stop them all. It is only through organized role-play that this battle can be won. Each city needs to form an active ruling council. Once these are in place OSI will grant these councils with some policing abilities. How about the ability to swear out a warrant for a troublesome thief? This would have the person jailed on sight and kept there till trial. The need for a nonviolent subdue skill for persons of office is paramount. It it time to put away the buckets of blood and get to a true status as a society not just a community.
