@Wargfoot said in Provide incentives for pvp players to go neutral instead of going red:

I think this game is attempting to create space for PvE and PvP players.
Any ideas you post should probably keep both playstyles in mind.

Creating space is the problem, game world is too big, too many housing spots, too many resources. Shrink it down based on player population and people will fight like rats over crumbs.

Might I suggest the most basic (and often hated) mechanic, gold> RNG item upgrade with chance of destruction?

Before you crucify me, think on it. What does EVERYONE want? Power. Money will burn like tinder, making crafters and crafting extremely important. I've never seen any other gold sink work, item repairs/durability loss failed way back in the time of UO.

Wondering about the economy, and gold-sinks are at the core of everything.
