I think it would be nice if the green character mark on the Mini map would display a Pker in red, so you could see them coming b:thanks

    In a PvP server, couldn't every char technically be called a pker? Or do you mean only people with a red name?

    Assuming you mean pink or red named PvP enabled chars, I think this is a bad idea.

    1) it would make you feel falsely safe if the dot is green, it would make you unnecessarily paranoid if it is red. Remember even someone flying past at max height shows up.

    2) It makes it easy to track down red named chars which would kill the challenge and fun of PvP part of which relies on being sneaky. This would destroy fun in mid level PvP as anyone Pink or more would be instant targets to high levels with no way to hide.

    No way to hide, that would be the point. If they cannot hide it would force them to actually learn how to play better because often enough the other person would fight back since they know they are coming.

    Zoe, I think you are coming from a PvE server's perspective where the majority of PK enabled players are in a narrow range Lvl 80+. When the range is narrow skill plays a bigger part in winning.

    On a PvP server ATM you can still have fun with PvP even at lvls 30-50. However, as soon as you go pink or red especially if you are sub lvl 60 you become an instant target for anyone even slightly inclined to PK, even white named high level players will PK you. So enabling this will help kill off the mid level PvP game.

    i think that PKs are juts part of an online games
    perfect world has a system that makes red-named PKers to drop almost all items wen killed
    PKK(PlayerKiller Killers)fun theirselves killing red-name users and taking their items so the system is half-balanced

    the only thing that its really needed is a PK auto-defence system

    example
    when a PK ataks you you can kill him without receiving a pink name

    that system can make the game more balanced

    You left out the second option. You do not have to fight back, you can run away and you will not turn pink. If you choose to kill the other person, you should have your name pink for the short duration it lasts.

    If you were to eliminate the pink names this would happen even more often than already does.

    Party zhening, you walk into barrage or other AOE spell, you kill person AOE and remain white named,..... see how it could be abused? It would be griefing without risks.
    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.
