Section 7: A Thief's Guide to Siege Perilous
7.9: Playing a thief on Siege is hard, isn't it?
There's no Auto-Reveal, but half of the people on the shard have
Detecting Hidden (at least on a Soul Stone). No one has Trammel to hide
away from thievery
and murder, but neither do you. Everyone is freely stealable, but
everyone on the shard is prepared for it. There might be an easy target
here or there, but
there everyone agrees to the rules when they log into the game. (You
can't just scam people who are used to playing in Trammel.)
In a lot of ways, when you steal on production shards, you rely on
anonymity to assist you in your steals. Everyone who plays on Siege is
well versed in
the rules of the game and everyone knows everyone. And because you only
get 1 character per account, you can't just change faces. Because you
can't use
Character Transfer Tokens, you can't just jump to a new shard and become
anonymous again. On Siege, people know who you are, they know your
reputation, and
they know where you live. They know how you play, they know who your
friends are, and everything you've done in the past defines who you are
today.
Playing on Siege Perilous might be hard (and easy in some ways), but
you're playing the game (and stealing from people) in a way it was
originally intended.
