I know my opinion of this matter, but I really wanted to gather the thoughts of the majority.

We have been increasing the single doorways so a single person cannot block one, however, we are receiving copious amounts of defect tickets reporting people blocking door ways.

What are your thoughts?

its a pita, also with the pvp systems as they are, i hit em you get dropped ina good 5 secs flat, this is 1 thing i liked about the old euro mir was that you could actually fight and not die instantly

either way you need to do summit

i think providing its not in a safe zone area it's fine.

I dont agree with either option. As long as it is not a safe zone then it should be fine, but then you get areas like ST ent where they can block, then die and run back in two seconds which is a problem.

My only suggestion I can come up with for areas close to spawn points is to make the door square deal damage after you stand on it for X amount of time.

Which doors specifically are you getting reports from?

If it's mainly ST, just add a tele npc to tele you inside to 1st from noticeboard or something lol.

Doors with lobbys such as ST or ZT which have 0 mobs and dicks run low levels there to block door meaning:
1. We can't go in to the cave
2. We must kill the noob, get PK points and then let them run back?

I think the door co-ordinates should be fixed and made larger to stop the 1spot block or people who are caught doing it should be IP banned for 3days + so that their main will be penalised for doing this and that they will get the message in not doing it again.

What i hear in noob guild is that it isnt just the entrance its other stairs too.
Make it grief play. Using the doors as a tactic is one thing. Being an arse is another

Worthing is depressing.
If they can be PK'ed then its fine. Posts like this just encourage the monkeys. It happend on euro... Best time was in OKS room, when it forced people to TT instead of the run out & regroup outside. The room holders would always block it with Shinsu / Deva etc..

Fight fire with fire!

fine if it's skele or pet, getting a murder isn't on.. the main one seems to be st and zt, so put npc that tele's into 1f, problem solved. Using pets/clone to block doors is a nice tactic (tictacs even nicer!) if you ask me..

At least for places like ST lobby you could just put an NPC beside the stairs which lets you just tele down into first if some idiot is blocking them.

Make pets and clones shoulder dashable or whatever. If they can be i really don't know tbh then have it so they can be pushed through the door with you. So door blockers will be like woah wtf and you'll be like SURPRISE MOTHERFKER!

Chronicles feels like a high rate server.
It doesn't matter if stats are 10-30 or 120-250, if you get smashed down so hard it feels like high rate.
Oh yeah - I play wiz and cant return dps that will beat 'autopot', but if a tao, sin, or tdb war hits wiz - you know what I mean.
How come so many warrs seem to have tdb before wiz have shield... I mean come on... are you having a laugh?

Door blocking? The least of my concerns.

Strange that as your the main culprit. I agree this is not a major bug therefore should be low priority but at same time I think something should be changed due to the delay you get when you walk thro the door before being able to fight back.
