PK rules

[PiZZler]

Just to set things straight for those who dont wanna read the rules.

You are allowed 3 pks a rest, UNLESS you keep coming back to get more, then it's limitless pks. Example If Im in the Dark Forest and I kill you, if you come back to the Dark Forest I am allowed to kill you again and again and again.

I believe the 3 time kill applies to the respawn point as well. Its a low blow yes, but allowed.

[--Ifrit--]

I was under the impression that standing outside the followers quarters, Camping a level 8 while on a level 40 toon. Leaving him with no option but to try and run past you or log off, was kinda illegal.

If not it needs amending.

Here are the rules.

The PK Issue and the rule concerning it:

The excessive PK issue has been following us since Neversummer 4 opened. From here on this will be the rule that we will be applying to it. This in no way abrogates any other rules, rather specifically defines one area of the harassment rule.


Excessive PK will be defined by:
* 3 Players Kills of any single character by the same player within a 6 hour period.

Modifiers to this rule.
* If the PK stays put (same general area) and the PK'd keeps running back, then its the PK'd and not the PK'r who is at fault.
* It has to be intentional, walking into a free fire zone (active NS City raid) and getting nailed by just being to close is just a hazard of the world.
* If the looser actively hunts the winner of said match and looses again its on the losers head. (this is not the re logging new character to exact revenge, that is instant harassment).
* Anyone intentionally putting themselves in harms way to provoke a reaction from someone will fall into the harassment rule as well.

* There are players who continually run the very edge of any rules that are posted. In this case for perpetual PK specialists we (at DM discretion) may adjust the 3 kills in a 6 hour period to 2 kills within a 6 hour period. Be assured though we will be diligent in investigating any harassing PK charges thoroughly before taking any actions.

* If it is found that a player is attempting to use this ruling to intentionally have another player banned from game then that player will fall under a more stringent reading of the harassment rule and start with a 24 hour enforced vacation from the game (temp ban).

If there is any discussion on this that needs to take place further, see me in-game.

By the way, using a low-level toon to spy on high level raiding parties opens that toon up to being PK'd. Spies are allowed to be killed over and over just as a raiding toon who runs back into the relic cradle is allowed to be killed over and over.
