This would be fun for players like ourselves... true. GK as a whole it would be a step backward. I am not going to type it all again... but read my post above.

I read your post and I disagree.

If you remove the plat and item death penalty people won't actually quit because they died 8 times trying to get back to a safe zone.

Now why should you join a kingdom? Here's a reason: protection.
There are 2 big kingdoms at the moment and both are doing their best to recruit new players and make them stay in the kingdom. Why should they stay true to their kingdom? Forced bmode. New guy in my army trying to get stronger and some pissy dustari kid is trying to stop him from BUILDING MUSCLE? Bro it's time to rumble I'm going to send this dustari kid running back to his human posse. Fish people rock. Fish people help new bros.

Forced bmode makes people interact with each other. That's what we should strive for if we want a bigger and healthier community.

People usually join a Kingdom not always to protect themselves, this b-mode system wont change alot. Probally bring some newbies to kingdoms.

People wont quit? ye sure if they get harrased, what I mean is that for example u dont drop anything on era while u die but some "rich" people just kill these newbies for free frags.
On GK its gonna be the same.

New players will quit... when you die it warps you to that save point you were last at. 9/10 it's the dock at the trade house in Bomboria. The stronger players can stand there and just lame over and over and over. It will piss them off because they are being harassed. Nobody is going to stick around when they are getting lamed over and over.

Forced bmode does make players interact with one another you are right... Forcing bmode will not make the community strive and become healthier.. if anything it will make it worse. Once again due to all of the stated reasons above.

Adding a min level and forcing bmode wont do this justice either. Level 54 Physique is a very low level for forcing bmode as well. The whole forcing anything is simply going to cause problems. We want to attract players to the server not force them to leave because of something like this.

You simply can't know if it would make the community better or worse until you try it out. Also I'm talking 54 base level as a minimum. That's just to prevent actual bile laming with death runes and such. If you feel 54 is too low then maybe make it 80? You have a base health pool of 280 at that level. If you had the time and gear to grind to level 80 you have the gear to fight off the big bad wolf when he comes for you.
