To some degree, rough town-based systems already exist in larger
games, such as Star Wars Galaxies and Shadowbane (which I work on).
Both revolve around a leader (elected in SWG, the guild founder in
SB) having the ability to declare someone KOS, which means that the
guards attack them on sight.
I can't speak for the Star Wars guys, but in our case, the problem
is that the guild leaders only have control over a small sphere of
the world (their town). This is effective in protecting their guild
members, but it has a huge undesirable effect - all of the truly
antisocial behavior is then channeled towards players who have no
advocate to defend them - namely, the unguilded (i.e. the newbies).
