all PVP is surprise attacks. Not lame, but what do we do?

Well, how about being able to bar the door that is simply dependant on actually being in game in the room, log out, locked as normal. But while inside, no need for a key to get back out.

Seeing as the arguement that Nenyuk would be less then happy to have to break down a door every time an apartment started stinking is pretty legit.

Most apartments probably have at least a half dozen people sharing space in them. If one dies, the other five can take care of it. And if someone barricades the door to avoid paying rent, they can just as easily do so without Nenyuk's permission. Building a robust barring mechanism probably wouldn't even take an hour if you happened to have a few nails and a hammer on hand.

That's the other argument for barring mechanisms. They're cheap as dirt to make compared to locks and keys.
