OK, sorry, this is sort of a rant.
My character, a 6th level rogue with less than 40 hitpoints is griefed by a 1st level powerbuild grief fighter in eastmarket. 1 swing, crit, dead, fugue.
There is no DM online.
The griefer continues for the next hour or so ganking any PC he can. It gets rediculous. The griefer loggs in with different characters and user accounts. PC's begin to Kill any character they suspect is the griefer. Characters (probably the griefer) show up in fugue and complain that this is a noobie server because "I was jumped by three pc's as soon as I arrived in arabel" PC's in fugue debate about bringing back old dead characters so they can run around naked to hunt down the griefer.
The point is, everything goes to hell in a hurry.
I know it is not possible for the DM team to be online 24/7, however, I ask for suggestions on what is to be done when such a situation IS happening, other than take screenies and try to get a DM in IRC.
I know I will probably be yelled at for beating a dead horse, that this has been discussed before… Sorry, as I said, this was a rant.
