Good idea. I think I said something in another thread about this too.

I too see too many "newbies" for lack of a better word in places where they just get killed. Here's the thing. Before the revive system, if you died in one hit by an enemy, most people would learn their lesson, especially because they would have to travel all the way back there. If this is a place like Tormenta, a newbie won't want to have to sail there all the way again if they figured they will just get killed. It's different now. With the revive feature, they expect to get a revive. This means that since they know that they won't go to jail, they feel they can just go wherever they want, and if they die "Hey, no biggie. That guy over there will revive me." And then they explode in rage if they don't get a revive. I feel strongly that the revive feature has contributed to this. Not that I want to see it removed, no no no. It's a great feature, but it came with a price.

I think that any island that can be teleported to, with the exception of Raven's Cove, should be able to be accessed by anyone. The caves and jungles on them is another matter entirely. Those should be locked to people of a certain level. I won't go over every single area and name a required level... that would take too long, but it should be somewhere maybe five levels below the level of the average enemy there. So for Isla Tormenta, it should be a level somewhere around... 25-30.

I agree with you completely. We should not let lower levels go to a high level island just to get themselves killed. The other day I was training in Tormenta with some friends, and some low level teleported to my friend. He died, and I revived him once, like I always did, saying to him that he should leave because he will just get killed. Then this girl that was afk comes up to us and says how anyone can be here, bla bla bla and that we should revive them because its the right thing and bla bla bla. I say how I don't want to waste my tonics, and she says that nobody tells me I have to (even though she implied it...). Pib and Sharky were there... they can tell you all about it xD Its a tale for another day though.
