I am just curious because i hear alot of people say its bad but do not really give a reason.
How often would someone who just turned lvl 30 get pked?

    If you're smart, and don't go talking smack, hardly at all. If you have the bad luck to run across a random PKer, just stand there, let them 1-shot you, and get on with your life. You'll get PKed at least once at Secret Passage, it's a fact of life. Other than that... you're probably good if you keep your mouth shut and your eyes open. Even if you don't PK, that's what makes LC fun. =D

    It's getting worse now. BL seems to be picking up after RQ? And there are a lot more random PK factions. :O

    West gate has become the new arena. ^^;

    It ain't that bad. WC is noisy at times, can turn that off. I've been PKed a grand total of 4 times in my entire time playing there. (Since the server went up September)

    Hmm i guess i just do not like the idea of Minding my own business then getting killed cold blooded.
    Kind of annoying as it happened to me in pk mode on sanctuary a few times.
    I would rather have the option to pk but not HAVE to be in it

    Well, in a PVE server, there are less targets(white names), in Lost City, there is...everyone around you. :]

    When I was a noob 3x, I saw others die before I did, so I had time to fox form > summer sprint > jump on stuff > jump off > fly away. You also you have your PKKers that usually patrol the area for reds. >_>

    the only way to play in LC is to live in constant state of high vigalance, only play in the company of others who are higher level than you, and hope that you dont come into the crosshairs of PKreeps. LostCity is nothing more than a warzone, plain and simple, once you hit 30. RQ makes it very plain that anyone and everyone is fair game to them...if you dont believe me, just google RageQuit, and see for yourself. here, in this forum, look up their manifesto on how to hunt other players successfully.

    Here's an idea..
    Why don't you stop listening to the rumours about our server based on false assumptions from people on other servers, and try it out for yourself?

    If you really want opinions though, here's mine.
    Lost city is a server where your tolerance for stupidity can be slightly lowered for your privilege to kill those who you normally wouldn't be able to do anything about on Heaven's Tear or Sanctuary.

    If the server was really as hostile and harsh as people made it out to be, anyone who wasn't in RageQuit would have never leveled beyond 30, no?

    All it takes is a little common sense.

    Attention Perfect World.

    This person is either a **** or a troll. RageQuit are nowhere near as big a problem as they're made out to be, or even like they used to be.

    That is all.

    RageQuit was wiped off the map due to their antics.

    But Lost City isn't that bad. As long as you are totally aware of your surroundings you can avoid being PK'ed. Just don't spout off that your better than everyone and that you can kill them (coming from Sanctuary and Heavens Tear that might be a little challenging for you.)

    What most of the people from Sanctuary and Heavens Tear are saying, is bogus.

    There are some random PK'ers who just fly over the low level zones looking for people to kill - but there are a greater number of people hunting red-named PK'ers in the same area too. Some do it just to help out the low levels, others do it because there is the chance for some good unbinded equipment.

    In the end it works out for the average person minding their own business. PK'ers kill random PK'ers. All you have to do is just realize that its okay to die once or twice. Once your killer turns red - then the higher levels take care of it.

    It's really not that bad. You could go a long time without being PKed. Or you could be PKed immediately when you hit 30. Just take the kill, don't worry about it, and move on with your life. Get angry, and it just eggs people on more.

    QFT. When I was like...not a total carebear like I am now (BACK WHEN I WAS A YOUNG WHIPPERSNAPPER), I LOVED qqers and people who raged at me. It was half the fun!

    That's one of the things I enjoy when I go lowbie pking (on lowbie alts). The whispers are just brilliant.

    I even kept running into this little 3x veno and she's convinced I'm stalking her so she started calling her 5x WB boyfriend to one-shot me. b:chuckle

    YES. I love being level 33 and **** everyone at Angler's. They all QQ on you for "lowbie pking", instantly assuming you're a high level. ROFL. Somehow everyone manages to incorporate the cliche homosexual and nolife comments. My only complaint is that the insults are always the same, and there's not enough BR. BR makes me **** myself laughing, more plz. :<

    Oooh I need to try killing at anglers. I usually hang around Heaven's Tear for a good supply of fresh targets and easy escape when CQ/GZ/Integrity come to "protect the noobs"

    Heaven's Tear is amazing too. Good level mix for a challenge. Hidden Orchid usually has the best QQer turnout though. Orchid Temple has a lot of high levels inside the tomb, but outside it's great.

    All my favourite spots there, except for one. I like to help out the Kimsa-like boss west of ADC, it's always fun to take down the attacking tank and watch the cleric get **** right after.

    i do know what it is like there- i started out there, ran characters up past lv30, and experienced the constant harassment and killing first hand. so did my son, with his characters. i do not buy into rumors-i experienced it first hand, and i passed that along, as well as the info from the PKers themselves. people who are able to level past 30 are mysteries to me. but i do not care to live in that environment, so i left.

    I don't really like the people in Lost City, many players are greedy, and unfriendly, the community made me switch to Harshlands.

    What happened to those fun old days when you would be lvl 1 walking around and some high lvl helped you or gave you stuff as a warm welcoming.
