?Loot/Loss?
Again, I agree. UO?s loot system was pretty hardcore but shadowbane?s, if I remember correctly, was nicely balanced. I think you could only loot what was ?in your backpack?, like what you had looted then and maybe the gold on your person. This is a good balance I believe. You can lose stuff that may be valuable/loot stuff that may be valuable but you aren?t going to lose everything you?ve ever gained, which easily could happen in UO. Heh, I looted a many a tower/houses in the old school days, for instance?
While looting a tower might be unbalanced. at LEAST looting of everything I'm / they are carrying is an absolute must. If you have a sword, and you die, you lose it. Period. Else the game is boring and there is no risk in using your best gear which is part of what makes using your best gear fun.
