    Panthers should bite their owners, nien beasts should fry/burn their riders, and when you die your account should be deleted. Great idea!
    I was early taught to work as well as play,
    My life has been one long, happy holiday;
    Full of work and full of play-
    I dropped the worry on the way-
    And God was good to me everyday.

    Our characters are tougher than that. How else would they survive getting bitten/punched/stomped on/stabbed/slashed by bosses 20 times taller and about 500 times heavier than them? A little fall is nothing compared to that.

    If you want realism then the bosses should be able to one shot all the players because there's no way in hell that anyone in real life could survive even a flick from most of the bosses in game.

    If anything, the fall from Heaven's Tear to land should hurt you.

    I think that if we fly too high we should pass out from lack of oxygen and fall..... and end up dying from the drop XD

    But.... if you were unconscious on your little flying sword with your perfect balance... then how would you ever get down? You have to be conscious to put the sword away... or to move down... or even to log off i would imagine XD So you'd be stuck... while us elves would just come back at some town or whatever b:victory

    I agree with everybody that many situations are "super natural" at is best but still some restrictions like falling or drowning are general features on many MMORPG and are considered to be "expected" behavior. Of course this is just a suggestion. Is a matter of chosing what aspects of reality are fun to have on a game and what aspect are better not being realistic.

    For example drowning will add a difficulty to some tasks making the game more challenging and even more fun. However lack of oxigen while flying is just anoying! (personal opinion)

    Wrong, we get to put our swords on auto-drive mode, we can sleep for all we care b:cute. They hit us after we reach our destination too :D.

    This all sounds awesome, but won't something like heads exploding put on a age restriction to the game? Not complaining anymore about that stuff because I don't fall underage for stuff, but I think for the kids who might play, which may be none so don't listen to that. I think that there should be a way to teleport to where you desire, i dunno if there is yet as I'm new, and there should be some freaky animation, and the downside to this is, what if you teleport into something? Well you can always recall i guess... or explode and end up back where you were anyway?
    I have to see if thats been suggested, it would be great to freefall after teleporting... and dying from the fall after being deprived of air due to being too high in the atmosphere and therefore knocked out and no way of saving yourself....

    To be honest that would be very entertaining.

    I"m sorry but that made me think of Oblivion:Shimmering Isles. If you pissed of the king/god of the lands, he'd teleport to a spot above a stone platform oh about.... 500 ft up in the air and froze you. You had about 5 secs to watch the ground get closer.. and closer... well you can guess the ending.

    That sounds like fun lol. I've only played Oblivion, and theres this mountain which is a dive spot, I dunno if you've seen/been there, but if you have the adoring fan with you and tell him to get lost he'll actually run of the edge and just roll down the mountain side which I found funny...

    It would be annoying, but it would also add a touch of realism to the game. In the same subject, drops from flying mobs should fall on the ground and not float in the air...

    I also like the ''can't breath under water'' idea.

    Of course, to compensate, flying and swimming mobs should be worth the effort. I'm talking a lot more xp/sp and better loots. A lot more...

    They should have a PW Skydiving Composition^_^

    I hate the idea of drowning..... that would make only the Tide Born the only people that can do such.

    I like swiming down to altitude 3 ^_^ i wish we could have the power to sit on the bottom of the sea though and meditate or something.

    Or what about while floating in the water?
    Or the Naruto style Chakra technique that lets you stand on water and meditate like that?
    Or maybe you can meditate and then slowly submerge like a stone.
    Actually there should be a drowning action like the one you can mimic when you die and a falling to your death action when you feel like jumping to your supposed death and also loads of other actions like diving, cos at the moment theres only flips
    Sorry that went off topic a bit...

    But i like falling.....

    it is fun to scare people by droping out of nowhere.

    but if you want falling deaths and such....

    why not add Lava Deaths and Wing Clipping Moves to the list to?

    Once wings are clipped a char can't fly for 3 days.... but they can glide.

    and then lets also add bone breaks and such so people can't run away...

    ooo.... and head shots and aiming.... anyone see how stupid it is if we start adding falling to ones death.... then other ideas people want and then PW isn't so PW anymore.

    I do no think that all behaviors has to be realistic but the game might benefit by adding some realism in other areas. I do not want to mention the unmentioned one so I will call it the other mayor MMOs. Other mayor MMOs has drowning and falling down dammage without the need of broken bones, etc.

    Is a matter of balacing what level of realism is fun and what is not!

    The game is way to far along to be able to implement falling damage now.

    However, spontaneous combustion would certainly add a bit of thrill and challenge.
