How much silver bounty are you paying if I bring this person to justice?

I doubt I have any silver left at all after my body was looted and am not planning to come back in game for several months (at best I had about 100 silver after building my house the day before I died).

How would criminal acts work if there was a non-pvp server? If you remove them completely people could exploit it to no end to grief others. If you leave it, the whole system of retribution would need to be changed and imo, it wouldn't be nearly as satisfying. The thrill of the build imo is the survival aspect. Why make a massive village if there's literally nothing to oppose you? Why make walls aside from maybe the odd animal roaming around, and even then, they couldn't kill you or do any lasting damage. The idea of a carebear server is just not a good one.

if you want a non-pvp or non-permadeath version of salem then you better learn to program because it won't be made by Seatribe

We specialize in permadeath and forum drama.

Some people would build town coz they want to play with friends, some people could try to grief, but without waste and murder there will be little options for them.
Yes they could cheat in Boston, but they are doing it now and you can't stop them.
Yes they could try to KO and rob people around boston, but it is possible now and you can't stop it.
Yes newbies camps without wall or with opened gates would be griefers target number one, but it is same as now and you can't stop it (difference on non-pvp newbies won't loose characters).

So please tell me how non-pvp server would be more griefers paradise than it is now?

EDIT: Btw I had some different ideas to educate newbies, but thx to this forum drama I see they won't work.

Because if you can't kill the griefers, what are you supposed to do? Hire someone to smash the smelters they only used to make lockets for waste? Smash their walls so people can walk around on their claim and have a circle-jerk? KO them and take their (Useless) clothing and their sword (Assuming they don't vault everything on an alt when they sleep)?

Wait, but Chief was killed... twice? Did that stopped him?

Imho there is no way to protect yourself (as newbie) from griefers, you can only go to forum and write about your death... if you know there is a forum!
Most newbies doesn't know even that. Next someone will track and kill griefer, but it is punishment not prevention.

To prevent we need to educate newbies and that is possible if:
- we build huge town full of newbies and every day will teach them and show how to do this or that in proper way,
- Devs will implement safe zone near Boston,
- Devs will create non-pvp server,

Second and third idea depends on Devs good will, first depends on large factions good will and in HnH does not worked well.
If anyone else got any better idea please share it.

But to stop something, you must first do something.

What. You have to create an account at this site to log in and there is a button right on the beta-key sign-up screen saying "Forum". I would assume they choose to not read the forum because it is all just people ***** at each other.

Wrong, they don't read forum because in any other game it is now required to play and "win"

I don't think you grasped what I said because what you're talking about makes no sense

Saying that this game is different than any other and new players got no idea how to play makes no sense?
