Player Killing Ruling

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 Player Kills of any single character by the same player within a 6 hour period.

Modifiers to this rule.

  • If the PK'r 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 NS4 City raid) and getting nailed by just being too close is just a hazard of the world.
  • If the loser actively hunts the winner of said match and loses again its on the loser's head. (this is not the re-logging new character to exact revenge, that's 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 or take other action as determined by the DM. 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).
  • DMs have the final say of the rulings.



Repeated violations of any of these rules carry a penalty of banishment from the Realm, which will be temporary or permanent depending on the number and severity of the violations.
