partial player looting of griefers on pvp servers. along with pvp levels and pvp gear check out the info here,

PvP consequences – the fugitive system

No longer will evil misdeeds go unpunished. Of course, Hyboria is ruthless and barbaric so don’t expect anyone to deal out justice just because someone smacks you about with a very heavy axe, but some justice is actually now being introduced to the world.

This is where the fugitive system comes in, presented in a set of colors defining your fugitive status – from blue to orange and eventually the deadly red.

Everyone is by default classified as “blue”, but your actions as a player killer will affect your fugitive rating. If you kill someone way under your level, you will notice that you will very quickly move to red. So will actions such as killing someone repeatedly, or other general unfairness. The more serious the crime, the quicker you rise in fugitive.

Obtaining red status will be quite painful to you. This means that other players can kill you without rising in fugitive level, and if they manage to kill you while you have red fugitive you will actually drop one of your better items and gold that they can loot!

Of course, turning red will be a double-edged sword. Sure, it will get you a lot of attention and many will probably see you as a danger to be avoided. But at the same time, people will hunt you down for your items and your gold so be very, very careful!

I've been reading these forums for a while and I know there are complaints that no decent games have looting. I know many will be disapointed that its partial. but I am ESTATIC because its my favourite type of looting, simular to that runescape had - PKing increases your risk. only in AoC it will only be for people who PK lower level players.

FC had talked alot about looting before release and I was disapointed it didn't make release. anyhow love funcom right now. most AoC players are playing on a PvP server. and AoC is a pretty big game atm. think of how much exposure the mmorpg genre is getting to looting.

anyway, cant wait to feel the immense tension during pvp with consequence again. can't wait to try and kill that red ganker with the nice gear I want to steal, and feel the sweat on my palms

let the mass ganking begin! Haven't bought AoC yet but maybe I will some day.

So griefers will now be able to loot those they grief?

j/k. I wonder what do they loose? money or just some random stuff in inventory and not what they are wearing?

Play Earthrise.  It will have full PvP looting.

no thanks. full looting is worse. full looting will just mean even MORE ganking. and MORE griefing/spawn camping.

this is a perfect system in my opinion. taken from UO I do believe.

all this system does is discourage killing lower level players (ganking) and encourage killing gankers. its totally fair. if you go aoc forums you can see all the gankers QQing, its hilarious.

but the system even appeals to the hardcore gankers. because ganking becomes a challenge, having tons of people hunting you, being a criminal is what some people love. I might make one character who is a criminal it will be fun seeing how well I can survive when everyone is hunting me down.

not my words other peoples. I didn't even play UO. but its sounds simular, really what does it matter that its not all the items. it sounds simular to UO because its a criminal type system.

anyway I imagine once you get criminal (red) enough you will lose ALL of your items, so it could be classed as full loot anyway.  only aocs system will work because it discourages killing lowbies, instead of encourages. most people want player looting so they can get a max level char and then go and kill lowbies and rob thier gear and ruin thier game so they can feel tough. its like men who beat up women to feel manly. this system means gankers will actually have to have some daring.
