Easier and faster will be make totally other game where you can with other players tactically use environment, shoot from different balanced guns and even be not powerbuild.
Then FOnline should be renamed to something else, or people start say about it the same as about Fallout 3, because it has nothing similar except for "wasteland, 10mm pistol, bluesuit" and something that reminds fallout.

I understand that devs have hard work: Their aim was conversion of Fallout as a single player turn based game into the multi player realtime Fonline. They did not expect, that they will have to resist people who use Fonline as a multiplayer tactic simulator. But i will tell you thruth, Raven, 1/3 of active players on server are exactly from that par of community. And it is very permanent part of community.. Loners joins Fonline, play for some time, then left (everybody knows Vedaras). But i can tell you, that most of us, across all PvP gangs, are here from first day of open beta. So i think this is the reason, why PvP part of comunity deserves little attention.
The second part is, that idea that Fallout will nicely work as a MMO without anything more than little game/mechanics changes fails. Nice example is today "Aimbotgate". Community takes this problem to their hands and now we have aiming system like in ten years old Fallout tactics.. You know, Fallout tactics had evoled too, from single player to multi one.
And drugs are major problem for PvP.. Drugs are the cause of half of hour waiting from total one hour of waiting between 2 TC fights (but not only town control). The bad effect stage in current form could not be apply to online game, if you want set proper line between acion-fun-fight and duty-dead-waiting element. Only solution is to eliminate this state.
Also i think, that Fonline will be still Falloutish, even if you change effects of drugs. I dont think that many players who joins the Fonline world will remember exact effects of drugs in Fallout or Fallout 2.

good idea

RavenousRat: I believe lot of things need overhaul, because the multiplayer element changes the game enormously... if you want Fallout 1/2 which you can play cooperatively, I don't believe FOnline 2238 will ever be like that... maybe when the SDK is out, someone would make it. I would be very interested in playing it, but also I want FOnline, which is harsher kind of MMORPG full of PvP. Such game mechanics are very different than those of single player games and temporary boosts like implemented by drugs in FOnline are part of that.

And? Shall we need to create a badge for you brave people? Actually, most of the people from the "famous 1/3" of the playerbase you mentionend only caused stress the whole time. Be it on the forum with endless childish flamewars or insults, in the game exploiting, cheating, dual logging or on IRC, its the same. And then you ask here for "respect"?
.....
And @ the topic, its not that I dont appreciate your work, but its already been said several times that devs are already working on a drug overhaul. Whats the point in this topic here then?
