| Good outlining of the problems facing anybody who wants to multiplay, @Galmar. I can't begin to tell you the sheer, constant volume of complaints we received in realtime when I worked for one MMOPRG--and they only had a constant, online membership of 17-20,000. Of course, we had rules in place and regularly locked up newbie killers and people who pickpocketed newbies, but still, each incident had to be dealt with individually by a live DM.
So if good multi mods are what you want, one of the basics needed would seem to be a way for the game to prevent parties that include newbies and high level characters, except for specific game-designated helpers in the latter category. Tough to implement. I know.
