Loan Sharks

Post by Agony »

Just a thought, but I was thinking that at Brit bank or other big UO city areas, there could be loan sharks? Where you get a loan for a crazy interest amount, then if you do not pay it back, its lackies randomly spawn on you and become a bit tougher each time they do over time.
I know this is completely off the wall, but was just thinking that it'd be a fun thing to have.

Yeah that would be nice hehe

Possible issues/ constraints:
- Can they really kill you eventually?
- They should have a timer to poof, right?
- Can you outrun them? Or would they teleport as Umms? lol
- If you kill them, you would not gain any loot or XP, karma, etc, right?
- Limit the amount withdrawn? And limit the repay amount if it takes too long? What if you need to repay the equivalent in EDs (@50k each) in case you hit the max?
- Count time as played time, right?
- If they get strong enough to kill you, you may have trouble paying it
- Shall they target only you or any player in your area?
- Area constraint for spawning? Like not in your home or in guarded areas?
- Won't this make people advance too fast in the game?
