Player Killing

Player killing, or PK, is opt-in combat between registered player killers. Registering is a serious choice.

Registration

PK registration and unregistration are handled in the PK Registration room, two west and two south of Center of Town.

Registration notes:

Registering before level 30 has no registration penalty
Registering after level 29 carries harsh level and stat penalties
Returning to non-PK status is possible after enough play time without PK activity
Registered PK players can kill other registered PK players

Guild balance is not tuned around PK. Abilities balanced for the wider game can feel harsh in PK.

Only actual bugs in skills are handled as PK issues. Report bugs instead of abusing them.

Non-PK players cannot interfere in PK combat.

Do not provide:

After a clear amount of time has passed and the PK interaction is over, ordinary help can resume.

PK disputes do not belong on public channels or public boards. Send logs and facts to the administration through mudmail.

Use the newbie channel only to explain the nature of PK to new players.

Do not deliberately resurrect a player in order to immediately PK that same player again.

Leaving stacked aggressive enemies for other players to stumble into is treated as unsanctioned PK. This can carry severe penalties.

Clan war ignores normal PK status. Non-PK clan members can kill and be killed during a clan war. See Clans.
