New player: This is way more brutal than OSI T2A

[GuardianKnight]

Sounds like Tenduil is a mobster selling insurance . Doesn't it?

[KydVicious]

Or a crack dealer, I can't make up my mind yet

I view it more as a professional body guard service. Clients would not be paying for some 'invisible form of protection' but rather true, real 'bodyguards.' A mobster selling insurance wouldn't put their own people on the line; they would just stop their own guys from harassing the poor schmuck.

No crack being sold here today. Please check the cotton fields for illegal opium growing operations though.

at 6k+15%, it'd be much smarter to gm begging and stay in town indefinitely

[tenduil]

Not necessarily.
A group of players farming a hot spot should be able to get a decent amount of money per hour. Perhaps they only want the honor or skill gain?

[OMGCAPSLOCK]

Pay for private security imo. Get 5 blue people. Pay them 1k an hour + magic items. If they are blue and enjoy pvp then they'll love the pvp and get some monies for it.

tenduil - Im sorry everyone is bashing your idea. I think a full refund should be issued if the allowed time frame isn't allowed, or the player is killed.

It might be worth it to pay 5k an hour just to see a group of 3 reds gate into lichs and see one die.

There's as much market for your service at that price point as there is for Jack in a Box dbl cheeseburgers @ 5.99 each.

A very good point. If they die in the process of a red raid (and loss all their stuff because are unable to immediately recover it) they should get their full refund back.

OMGCAPSLOCK - Exactly.

Owald - I am unaware of the price points at Jack in the Box yet again feel that the service could be warranted in some cases. Are you a current PK concerned about anti-pk's? Or do you feel that a player or player group would not be able to afford this price point per hour?

[uofuntime]

Though I don't think there is a problem like the OP described (crazy exaggeration), tenduil's service is not unreasonable. 15% earnings from hot-spots (the 5k fee per hour is so low, doesn't even matter) may just be something someone might sacrifice for safe farming. That's about 15k if you made 100k. Not that bad considering I sometimes pair up with (seemingly trustworthy) people and farm together, splitting earnings 50/50.

I think this "protection service" would be a perfect job if you got a group of stealth/hide archers.

[hmmm]

Oh and to pull from another PK issue thread...



For those of you concerned about PK's while farming or in a dungeon I am willing to but together a Private Military Company that will provide perimeter security and defense for your self or a group (now called the: Client). The PMC will provide an adequete level of protection through single or multiple body guards (actual players) that will serve to defend and/or slow down the sudden attacks of PK's in order to allow you/your group to continue farming or recall out. Also understand it is not the job of the PMC to defend you against NPC or Mob attacks unless these are directly correlated to a PK attack. If you or your group dies to a mob/npc the PMC employee's will resurrect you if possible or guard your body until you can return.

This service will of course incur a fee relevant to the activitiy you are engaged in and is graded.

Understand the PMC's employee's will be putting their lives and equipment on the line and go into this with the expectation that they will die and loss all (potentially) and therefore must be compensated approriately.

Standard Fee Schedule*+
"Outdoor" Farming activity in a non-guard zone:
10% of client earnings + 1000gp/hr

Dungeon crawling/farming in a non-hot spot:
10% of client earnings +3000gp/hr

Dungeon crawling/farming in a hot spot:
15% of client earnings +5000gp/hr

*The gp/hr is due BEFORE the start of the job with an initial minimum time set. This means that a contract may be initially set for 2 hours in a non-hot spot dungeon crawl. The Client will pay 6000gp before the job begins. If the job goes shorter our PMC retains the 6000gp. If the job goes longer 3000gp will be required per additional hour at the start of the hour. Having to recall out or end early will not result in a refund as it is expected your personal belongings and current earnings outweigh the difference.

+Collection of the PMC's 10% share is due before the Client leaves the farming/crawl activity or immediately upon return to a 'guard zone' and is up to the discretion of the PMC on-site commander. Failure to pay the 10% share OR to hide/cover up/falsify profits will result in censure, penalities, and fines.

Also understand that if a PK attack is successfully repulsed and loot is available from the dead PK it is the sole property of the PMC; regardless of any involvement of the client.

If you feel your safety, security, and profits are worth protecting we recommend you employ our PMC to ensure the highest level of protection. Contracts are available so please PM or Email us today:

Email: [email protected]

All contracts are held in the stricktest of confidence and will not be shared with other clients or third parties.

People will make more money getting PK'd every so often and banking the rest than they would paying 5k per hour + a percentage (haha, seriously?)

Not really, 5K per hour? that is nothing, even in a non hotspot area. You could more than make up for the cost of paying them by not having to recall out to bank as often, and actually not having to run whenever you see a red name. - cuts down on farming interruptions. I think I might actually give him and his crew a try one of these nights just to see if they are good enough to get rid of any PK's that actually show up.

[tenduil]

Due to increasing demand, several PM's and offers..., we are now recruiting for PMC.

If interested please send me a PM or email: [email protected]
