Moving Forward with Gangs

[swift]

Not every other player has absurd amount of items and can pick a gun out of their glorious inventory of over powered weapons.

This is to provide something for new/newer players, give them hope into earning a better weapon without having to dig / mine / pick flowers for 3 weeks straight.

At the same time it introduces them to gangs, and has potential of rewarding them while actually playing the game instead of trying to have a job in a virtual world.

There's plenty of new players who would love to see something like this.
That perspective you described would be of the lazy rich Era players who already have everything.

I'd be willing to give up my stuff for this. It sounds way more fun than idling all day.

The game would die off even faster.

If it preserves and improve the server in the long run; yes.

Agreed. It's not even all your stuff it's just a new approach to guns/the economy. People would only lose their weapons, and they could be given credit-points toward unlocking new gun-sets.

I was thinking it could be something like... 10 default sets. Then 5 you can unlock with pk points, 5 you can unlock with money, 2-3 EC sets, an MVP set, maybe even achievement sets.

More and more can be added, but they would all be balanced sets. And you could sell 'custom sets' for gelats... where people can choose 1 for each slot based on all the sets they have unlocked; to make a ultimate PK or Sparring set.

Sounds like you've identified a problem and are creating a complicated system to work around it instead of addressing it directly.

Rogue's idea is good, but I think it's a bit too far in the one direction, and would remove every other aspect of the server apart from PKing (not necessarily a bad thing IMO). Without PKing itself being more interesting I can't see that providing a sustained boost though.
