PLAYERKILLING PKING PK PLAYERKILL 'PLAYER KILLING'
 
Player Killing is another aspect of roleplay and should be treated as
such.  It has the potential to be an art form, and should be treated with
respect.  Violence is a major part of daily life on Forsaken Lands, and all
that we ask is that your actions are only those that would be the actions of
your character in terms of his/her role in life. 
 
You can playerkill once you have a <`1PK``> flag in front of your name. 
You will have a <`1PK``> flag in front of your name once you have gained
more than 30,000 exp points or reached level 10, whichever comes `!last``. 
 
LOOTING CORPSES
There are following conditions for looting corpses in order to make the
game more enjoyable for every one:
 
`!1``) Players cannot loot other's corpses until they have reached the rank of 10.
`!2``) PC corpses under level 15 cannot be looted at all.
`!3``) In first 2 hours after death, your corpse can be looted only by following:
        - Your group mates
        - People who are in your PK range. ("who pk")
        - Members of Thief guild.
 
Note that if you quit before retrieving your corpse, the corpse will no
longer recognize you and some of the above may not hold.  
 
PK RANGE
Pk range is determined by level and exp cost.  As, your level increases,
so does your pk range.  The range is shifted up or down depending on your
character cost compared to others.  For example, a human warrior with base
exp cost is less likely to be in the pk of a higher level as opposed to an
Elven paladin.  There is also a 8 level limit on the range in extreme cases,
to prevent higher levels from unfairly slaughtering those who happen to have
characters who cost a lot of experience to level.
 
- Expect to get PK'ed, it happens, don't take it personally.  Just gather
yourself back up and learn from the experience.
 
- Group killing is legal, groups of any size can attack another group. 
However, this should be the exception and not the norm.  Group killing
beneath the higher ranks (above 40) is discouraged and should be used
sparingly.  Those who group kill on a continuous basis will be punished. 
  
- Do not cut link to avoid being PKed, it is considered bad role-playing
and also, your character will still be vulnerable to other players while
you are link dead.
 
MULTIKILLING
Use your best judgment, sometimes enough is enough, there is no need
to kill someone over and over again. While multikilling (multiple killings
of the same player by same attacker) are allowed at high ranks (above 40)
they are discouraged and punished at low ranks.
