    People will kill you on a PVP server, you're free game and an easy kill.

    Go roll PVE, become 8x then just turn on PK mode if you want to PK that badly, even though it's not the same.

    deal with it. Rpkers are really annoying sometimes, but usually they'll move on quickly because they don't wanna get lynched by a higher level. it is stupid, I know, but try to make friends with them, or at least small talk.

    whats the point? do you get exp for killing low levels? do you get drops from players that dont fight back?
    i mean i like the idea of pvp but to just roll through killing only low levels seems pointless and not much fun at all. for either party

    if you could get drops or exp i guess it would make a difference but to date i havent lost anything from being pk'ed by high levels

    so please explain

    The pk's do become less random as your levels increase. Long about your mid 70's you'll notice a steady decline in the randomness. Until then, consider it a free trip to town. I've made friends with a few folks who I used to think hunted me down exclusively.

    Not to mention, it is easier on your exp to get killed by players than by mobs; so think of it as the safe way to die.

    You make it sound like it's such an inconvience. Click go to Town and back to where you were. It takes maybe 1 minute at the most.

    woot true lol I've met some pretty interesting people after they've shot me down. ^.^' and i've also used random pkers to get a free teleport closer to where I want to go. XD
    but not sure about safe. DX you can still lose items when white named. its like 1% or something but still. T.T'

    Yeah.You are getting ganked like some other MMOs out there which has this.I would think leaving at night is also a good way to leave just don't go out the west exit of the Arch.

    You pick pve server to avoid all this in Sanctuary there is a lot of pkers and those who want to duel with you.

    in simple words:
    whoever kills some defensless lowbie has some issues that could be treated in a mental hospital with some electric shocs and proper medication.
    PK should be lvl limited or something, meaning outside of specific instances you can't attk anyone -10lvl lower than u unless they attk first. That should pretty much even out ods.

    :/ Well, I joined PvP for a challege. I don't understand people that didn't O.o I mean where's the fun in taking down someone half your level? It's not like you earned bragging rights that way xD now when my level 68 squishy cleric took down a level 80+ cleric in the swamps, that's bragging rights. b:victory

    But having to come out and help clear people away from heaven's tear and such so my lower level guildies can finish a quest, that kinda builds loyalty for us so heck, keep being cowards :P

    nooo me am against this suggestion... does that mean If I were to use my main to get godly gear for my level 30 archer and stick around camping arch then NO ONE WOULD BE ABLE TO STOP ME since the level restriction will stay as long as I don't attack the high levels who would be able to kill me. O.o'

    Best way to control it I think is to introduce some sort of reward system where you gain some special reputation for killing people at/around/higher then your level while you lose some of the special reputation killing people lower then your level (increased loss the lower they are compared to you) d(^.-d)

    I have a problem, also, with the duelling option.

    1. I don't how to do it once I accept a Duel challenge.
    2. The other player ALWAYS wins.
    3. I think (but I do not know) I am chosen because I am a low level (as low as level 5 in one case).
    4. In Etherblade, there's so much activity going on my computer freezes for several seconds, preventing my character from responding to my keystrokes.

    After being slaughter by higher-levelled players, I now ALWAYS refuse duels. Is there a duelling guide I haven't yet found?

    in Dreamweaver server Etherblade is THE place for cowards and punks to hang out. They sit there at lv30-50 and duel lowbies and one-shot them. Then boast of their prowess and might. The like tricking them into getting in PK mode too and when they leave Etherblade Boom! they get PKed. thats how they have fun right there. b:victory

    It's fun and mobs don't QQ. There are times where I want to go to Broken Bow Bluff and AoE every player in sight. Too bad I'm on a PvE server. -________-

    While ago in FF, as I attacked a mob, it started trash talking..... than, after I killed it, it was QQing about it.... it was quite funny.
    Too often we loose sight of life's simple pleasures. Remember, when someone annoys you, it takes 42 muscles in your face to frown, BUT, it only takes 4 muscles to extend your arm and slap that mother#$@%#^! upside the head.
