I just don't see what's wrong with trading a kingdom item.

If you want you can see about setting limits on kingdom made items and what stats are going too far, Zormite shield is nice, but it's only best for magic users, so i don't see too many folks offering mass ammounts of gear for one.
So, they're not terribly valuable to other players. Wouldn't you consider that a benefit, rather than a drawback? Folks in Zormite would be less likely to trade them to others, so there would be less of the behavior you condemn in the first place...?

Whoever made it knew what they were doing, but that KJ shield and the boots, i'm only saying what i think, were most likely made out of wanting to make that kingdom more popular.
Well, statistic suggestions for items are made by the kingdom leaders. When I hear of new items being created, I usually (that's usually - when an overpowered item is released, it is often because the consulting me step has been skipped) give them my spiel about how they need to be fair and not go beyond some certain limits I have created for the items.

now as you see from Nappa's post, he has the goods, so Dustari can kiss his rear, that is a shame to see.
It was a shame that Dustari was taken from me in the way that it was, too. Nappa has every right to say that, as he was a valued member of Dustari before anything happened.

Quote:
I'm playing GK less each day for the fact that these super items are being made too much and it's a horrible idea to want more, i only see more items being made that are from folks wanting to "one up" the compitition.
Well, I haven't seen any new kingdom items (only two ideas, even) in quite a while. So, I'm not really sure what else I can say.

Quote:
thats the only thing i see now, is a power struggle on GK, one kingdom or person against another.
I still say that the kingdom items are for the kingdoms, but if they want to trade to other people, then that is their choice. As far as I understand, Stefan does not favor kingdom-only items either.

Mmm, that's fair enough, but i think part of the reason people, and myself, want to lock kingdom items to their kingdoms is to stop people from joining a kingdom, recieving the item, then going "AHAHA I HAVE THIS ITEM NOW, BYE SUCKERS "

How sad that people actually do that. It should, however, be the kingdom leaders' responsibility to choose people who will not do so.

I still say no... Everyones gonna run over to the kingdom with the best equipment to get it. If you played 2k1 long ago, Zormite had the fish morph NPC and everyone ran to Zormite kingdom. They just wanted the awesome fish morph, not the kingdom. Fish morph was removed to see who the loyal people were, and sure enough, tons of people left. Was never readded. That's whats gonna happen here, too.

People already run to the kingdom with the best items
but the way it currently is, they leave that kingdom as soon as they aqquire those items
then they run off to the next best kingdom
The thing is, if you tag lock the kingdom items, you don't have people joining kingdoms purely for items and then leaving
But if you do end up tag locking items, then you definitely need to make sure that all the kingdom items have fair stats
Mainly, those freaking Samurai boots
Has anybody fixed the weapon class on those things yet?

And if you tag lock them, then they join the kingdom with 'the best items' and stay there. Is that inherently better?

Hes saying make all the kingdom items have the same (or whatever is equivelent) stats, that way people can still go to the kingdom of their choice.

I'm not entirely saying that
but I am saying if implemented, it definitely needs to evened out
Each kingdom should have some kind of speed shoes
an item that add power
and item that adds str
an item that adds wis or int
And Samurai's shoes definitely need their weapon class taken care of it hasn't already been done so

Yes, cause when they start doing wrong to the kingdom,
you can kick their butt out and then they don't go massive PK with their items

Bingo.

No. People don't join kingdoms to get the kingdom items here, I have never seen one person do that. They just trade for it after its released.
