As far as I know trials are automatically thrown back into pmode. I would like to see a bmode bell in bomb as well though. Having to travel to the kingdom and back kind of sucks.

Seriously through the dungeons you need less then 1 minute to travel to ur kingdom....a bell in bomb wont make it better. it would just start the era of pro laming the bell

To the kingdom yeah it only takes a few minutes.. coming back however takes a lot longer. You have to go through two different dungeons just to find you way back to the main one. While doing that you are hoping the whole time you don't get lost. It is simply a huge hassle trying to make your way back to main. The ferry... They are horrible you are usually looking at about 10 minutes just for the ferry to get back to your island. You may or may not get lucky and find an unstick boat. It's is simply a hassle and a waste of time.

That's the worse part.. I can see what nico means with the bell in bomboria... plus, people would run and hit it to avoid pk.. but better that then to press the escape key and close graal like some of us did 10 years ago.

This may be true but you can't prevent the escape key use.. However you can add a time limit to using the bell. It can be set so that players can only use it lets say once every 3 hours or something. This will prevent the avoiding pk for at least those three hours.

You can do what Era does and keep a clone of the player there which can still be hurt and killed when a player logs off in a PK zone. It works, but it's not very elegant of a solution, especially for a server like GK where it's less of a problem.

Why not simply change the frequency of ferries? I'm asking this myself for over 10 years now. At least it would make it easier to come back to main island. Like let them drive every 3 minutes. Or is it too hard to script?

I would assume that it wouldn't be to hard to change. I don't know though that is a question for Tig. Regardless, I still think having a bell on the main island somewhere is a good idea. It doesn't have to be in bomboria it can be placed in the Castle Wars that was added. Still need to set a certain amount of time before you can use it again.

Every 3 hours seems reasonable actually.. it's not to long that an accidental hit would be the end of the world, yet it's enough if you change your mind you wont have to make a long journey.

What about having 2 ferries to each island? offset so they take half the time? As of right now, it takes 10 or 15 minutes for the ferry.. plus travel time back.. s if you just missed the ferry, isn't that 10-15 minutes plus another 10-15 min? plus another 10-15 min in travel time? 30-45 minutes just to get back from changign to bmode.. and the same if going to ring bell to become bmode.. so your talking a maximum wait time using ferries of 60-90 minutes plus travel time to bell location and where ever you were on main island.. that time can add up for such a simple task. I could be wrong on the wait times, because seriously I don't use ferries.. I ruuuuuuuuun, im fast... lol
