Obs]What do you get when you "raid towns" ? Does that mean PvP w/ loot?
In the live stream today they said there will be town sieging. The big cities will be nearly exempt from this and things like player towns are going to be more susceptible, from my understanding so far. They said they are working out how that will all play out and will give more info then, but it would affect housing, trade, etc.
They also mentioned they are considering full loot. Ways they mentioned were a hardcore pvp flag, settings on zones and towns, etc. Right now their current plan is doing 1 lootable item and the previous owner has the ability to pay a "ransom" in gold for the item, the amount being generated by the server based on the value of the item.
