I know this might take some time to implement and might not happen any time soon.
I think players should be able to attack NPC's, and NPC guards to run after and attack the player, and tie up the player when the player gets struck to the ground, and the attacked NPC to attempt to run or defend him/herself.
And if the player escapes, every guard in the town the assault occurred should attack the player on sight, and the consequences should be worse each time the player attacks an NPC, if captured. And if the player kills an NPC, or escapes at one point then gets captured, the player should get in prison for a very long time. And I also think there should be prison guards and players should be able to rescue other players by killing them and pickpocketing the keys.

You're quite right. It would not be seen in your lifetime, if it were to be seen at all (which I doubt -- this could easily get very messy).

It doesn't take THAT long

You know this how? You should know enough about programming to immediately tell that such complicated strings of actions are nearly impossible to implement with Java, especially with the current effort.

I think you missed the point.

"Better NPCs" is a suggestion on the same (basic) level as:

• Mounts
• Pets
• Running/Swimming
• Cleverer Monster

... they pop up every month or so.

Guard NPC are in work, the rest I did not understand. Attacking NPC is and will not be possible, for that purpose, we have monsters.
