I agree with burgingham, you should remove teleportation to foil helms deep style locations.

Hey, I hears that a lot of men rape and beat up other men and women. Solution: lets cut their arms and dicks off!

Interesting how he turns my argument into a non-teleportation argument. Since helms deeps have become inferior to island fortresses, the guys building such things could just add a gate you know?

Lol, the solution is so simple yet noone realizes.
Skill capping ffs! and make the max values easily reachable within 100 ingame hours (because in a game with permadeath, it's simply not fun to lose months of hard work) + you shouldn't be able to be the best in every skill.

Hmm, with a skillcap you would be able to be the best in every skill. You are however not with the current system, because you need to focus on a limited number of skills.

True to an extent, but that's where my idea of skill decay comes in.

why would anyone keep playing after 100 hours then?

There's always some that quit after getting raided. It takes a really hardcore group to survive the post invasion.
We have all quit and Xanadu is abandoned.

How about traps that can only be placed on your claim ground? Sharp wooden sticks on unused ground, or a bear trap that holds the victim for a bit, or whatever. Along with a perception check to see the trap, and maybe a Disarm skill, and a Dexterity check for success or failure while disarming.
