Where is the sense in Vampires showing up, not hiding their abilitys at all? If you want, you can avoid the crimsons with ease as a vampire....
We were instated because there are too many vampires who don't even try to hide their disea.
Vampires fighting back...that is ridicules in my eyes. Why should they even show up??
What you suggest is not to do with a finger snip, that takes hours of coding... Enabling Pvp for very limited people who don't abuse the powers is far easier.
And by all means, please hide yourself dear vampires... You have the chance, take it.
(The reason why the inquisition took place is that there are too many of them in Regalia openly stating they are the evilnes in person. We did react on that. Vampires should be feared...not there for the lols. If players don't want to roleplay as one, they should cure themself....
For those who want to try it out, don't do it infront of our eyes. I could write more, but it get's a pain to write it on the phone)
I'm going to dissect your post and reply to each chunk on it's own.

HOW?! Those damned checkpoints made it virtually impossible to use Regalia for ANY purpose. I got so sick of them I stopped visiting the city and I'm not even a freaking vampire! It's easy enough to avoid the Inquisition if there aren't any checkpoints where you need to jump, but when those are up it's impossible to use the city for anything useful.

They show up because Regalia is the CENTER OF ALL TRADE on this server. You can't buy things anywhere except Regalia, you can't get to other worlds anywhere by Regalia (unless you have a portal to each world) and you can't sell stuff anywhere but Regalia. Name to me one other place that EVERY world has access to which sells a large number of different supplies for various prices. If you can show me a vampire-safe trading area that every user can access, buy stuff, and sell stuff, then I will have ZERO qualms with the Inquisition. The primary reason I go to Regalia is for the RP and to maintain my bank. However, I know full well that many people go there to buy supplies that can't be purchased elsewhere, like, say, Ghast Tears or End Stone. The reason they show up is to buy stuff, sell stuff, and take care of shops they have.

I'm sure that what I suggest would take a great deal of coding effort and time, but I think it would be worth it. Think about it for a moment: if a vampire cannot defend themselves then how is that RP-accurate? What vampire in known lore sits back and says "Yeah, you ram that wooden stake into my heart."? I have yet to encounter such a storyline, even the comedy vampires defend themselves. If you're going to enable pvp for the Inquisition then you should enable it for vampires. It may be difficult, but you can work past any possible forms of abuse by making it so that ONLY vampires that were attacked recently by Inquisition members can fight back - and then you can make it so they can only hurt people in the Inquisition. Certainly not simple or easy, but totally worth it to keep a balance between the Inquisition and Vampires. RP-wise an IG-wise, it would not be a good thing to have one group of people have absolute power over another.

I have yet to see a /v hide feature that allows them to hide themselves from the Inquisition when those lovely checkpoints are up. And since all it takes is 'You! I think you're a vampire!' to get someone jailed/killed, it just doesn't seem feasible for vampires to hide while still being able to use Regalia for its intended purpose as a server capitol.

I agree that there are way too many openly being vampires, but even so they should be able to defend themselves. If they cannot defend themselves then they will just quit Regalia(I know I will if I can be attacked by Inquisition members for no good reason) and close up shops. Then you would start to lose interest in Regalia and eventually the city will be about as useful as SilverWind was when Regalia came out. What I want isn't that much, just the ability for vampires to defend themselves when attacked, which would give them a chance to actually use the city and would enhance RP. The Inquisition currently has the problem of not being able to attack vampires. Well, give them that power without giving it to vampires and you have vampires not being able to attack the Inquisition. That would be as bad, if not worse, then the way it is now.
My last word in reply for now is that Regalia is meant to be the Server Capitol. The primary purpose of a Server Capitol is to serve as a friendly place where every player on the server can come together and communicate, trade, and have general fun. SilverEdge served that purpose nobly, with vampires and humans being welcome equally. All in all, I want Regalia to have the same atmosphere as SilverEdge did. I always felt safe and welcome in SilverEdge, considerably less so in Regalia.
