A Question for PKs

Do you murder other PKs on sight as well or do you get together with them and go hunting for nubs when you encounter each other?

There's two types of pks in this situation.

Pk 1. will run on the sight of another pk

Pk 2. will attack on the sight of another pk

the scenarios that unfold depend on which combination of the two pks mentioned are present.

Not sure but i've never seen 2 pks meet, go off killing newbs together, unless they already know each other. (let your guard down and you'll get whacked by them anyway).

You can pretty much ignore noteriety on this server. Alot of cool people are red, and an equal number of jackasses are blue. Unless you know who is friends with who, just assume that everyone is going to attack you, even blue people. Reds kill reds, blues kill reds, ect.. As long as someone can take a count, they will. Most of the reds here arent "real" PK's anyway. They simply kill until they have a few short-terms, then macro them off.

There is a group of reds I have seen traveling together the first time I ever played on this shard when I and a couple friends went into Destard I believe. The one went in and just barbecued me almost right on the spot being my first day and all. My friends are veterns and escaped unharmed after confusing the hell out of him. I went outside and I swear there were 7 to 12 reds I seen waiting out at the entrance.
Reds will kill reds out of sport and for practice...and they do it a lot. How do you think they always get ressurected anyway? A friendless red is virtually unheard of.

this isn't osi scooter. i wouldn't be surprised if they have a multiclient running for each transaction -- gating, looting and resurrecting.

Well it's not 1998 OSI here.Un attended macroing,Multi clienting etc.The era of 28.8 and 56K is gone.AKA occupying your line phones(l 90 % were like that in 97) and Hours per month (It's was not gig but Hours per month) .So even if you could do un macro .. you would not lol. Not only because you would get caugh and banned , but because of the internet connection back in the day.

Because it's would suck hours .. Unless you wanted to pay for when you did not.I had at some point an internet bill of 700.00 $$ bucks.That tell a lot..
700.00 in 1997 .. that more than 700.00 today ;p

In OSi when i played .. there was an unwritten rule that no pk shall kill each others.Although it's happenned it's was not a common sighting.
Here dying has a red i dont think it's mean much for them.They're mostly well installed with a load of character.They loot you just to piss you off.Not because they really need it.

Well said, most reds here are the shittier pvpers that can't hack it in real fights, so they make tons of characters and kill the defenseless. Killing them means next to nothing because they always have 2+ characters killing counts 24/7

I can't imagine when this wasn't the case to begin with.

an unfriendly red is competition.

that said tho, blues die first when I find another pk. but most "reds" are't actually pks and get jumped in on in often by other reds when i am already engaged with a blue.

Its actually pretty sad the class of PK we have on this server. When i die in statloss i get a good few days of farming on my blue mage in. While farming, 99% of the pk's that show up will recall as soon as they relize im not going to run and spam recall. Its actually quite sad. When im on my Statloss PK, Deus Atamada, i will attack anyone. blue/grey/red/orange. PK means PLAYER killer, not Blue Provoker Only Killer.
