Ravendawn’s newest dev blog tackles the meat and potatoes of the MMO’s player-vs.-player conflict. Basically, the game is trying to pave the way for open world player killing with an infamy system. It’s never been done right before, but hey, maybe the 1,000th time is the charm?
“The Infamy System is what keeps the devious and the justified apart. Infamy is earned in Ravendawn by committing murder to another player,” the team explained. “Infamy will go down by committing useful deeds around the game world, some of these being charitable, others being nefarious.”
