Imo that dimdoor exploring isn't a good reason for pk. The parties that cast
dimdoor in areas _do_ indeed have an alternative way of handling this, using
teleport/summon/relocate spells and such. It is a great sp-waste, but that is
your problem. If you cast a dimdoor, that means you open a gate and invite
anyone to come in. If you can't handle that, then go suck on a banana. If
you're afraid of someone fucking up your mob, do it the other way. Or if it's
that important an issue overall, put it in the rules, so that people actually
know that dimdoor explore is taboo. In all my time in bat, i've never known
that dimdoor explore could ruin something for someone, for the simple reason
that i've never used dimdoor for that purpose. In my opinion this generally
gives one more useless reason to kill folks. Anyway, i don't really care one
way or the other, except that this thread was too hot to pass. And don't
bother flaming this, just go suck on that banana i mentioned. Might be good
for you.

Well, I got few tells from higher level and more experienced players yesterday. Thanks from it! At some cases it looks like dim door is the only(?) way to handle the situation. For example EQ mob. Party casting dim door should be aware of dimdoor explorer who could ruin whole mob or area. And usually when you ruin something others have done or are trying to do, you got pkilled.
But still, dim door is the only way to explore (alone!) new areas behind blocking mobs. And all fun doing it is that you have no clue where you are, which way is out and what you are going to find. And then you die and lose the exp, or get pkilled. Or have some luck and run away alive from that big bad mob following you.
I have tried exploring in parties also. If I don\'t lead I usually don\'t have enough time reading all room descs, finding secrets and draw map. And if I lead, party gets bored.
I agree with saldas here. What in the fuck are you highbies thinking? what the
hell are you worried about one little fucking newb or lowbie for? to fuck up a
mob or your ENTIRE party by wandering through a dim door? As if...get a
fucking clue. The newb will die in certain situations (i.e. tanks have aoh on
and party whacks the newb or he/she wanders into the big bad eq mob and gets
whacked). Either way the situation ends there.
All you're looking for is another reason to pkill. And for fucks sakes...it's
a game people. Remember? We are here to have fun. You think it just to fuck up
another players experience for a few days/weeks/months just cause they caused
a fast error in your playing?
