I find this to be quite odd.

ok so im doin my own thing questin it up u know.. killin some beetles or w/e lol.

then some lvl 30 comes up and attacks, normally i would just run cuz most pkers are quite a bit higher lvl than i am...but i decided to try and defend myself this time. bOOm i turn pink what the hell?...i cant even defend myself without facing consequences?....

so even if ur lvl 90 and some snot nosed lv l60 kid comes up and starts pelting u with arrows u gota just run if u dont want a red name? i find this system is ridiculous.

in all other games with pvp that i have played if a person is a "red name" u could attack them w/o turnign red urself because thats theyre consequences for attacking a white named player...and it a white name player comes up and attacks u ...(then turns red) u could retaliate with no consequences seeing that they hit u first...

i just think that that fact that u either have to run from everyfight - or turn red is ridiculous wheres the fun in that, and theres nothing to scare red names if they know if anyone attacks them they will turn red ..

bottom line is if your a white name u should be able to hit a pink/red name w/o turning pink urself

sorry if i confused any1 .. im just waking up ..

    You're on a PvP server. If you don't like the PvP environment, re-roll on a PvE server.

    If they attack you, they should turn pink if they're not already light red/red. Killing a pink name player will turn you pink-named for five minutes, then you go back to being white named. You'll only gain actual infamy and a red name for killing white named people who don't fight back.

    Light red and pink look very similar, so it's easy to confuse the two.

    its just dumb that i cant even defend myself w/o turning pink...and since i was pink and he pulled out his real weapons soon after i retaliated i lost my 2 star pants :(

    i shouldnt have to run from every damn fight

    Yeah same thing in the previous MMO I was playing and I liked that. Not gonna bother with PK in this game though, which is why I play on a PvE server.

    It's not too late to start now, better switch before you are lvl 30 or so, later it will be harder.

    You shouldn't be able to drop equipped items while you're merely pink named. If you have something that's too valuable to ever drop, keep it in your bank, not in your inventory.

    Or don't try and fight back when you're a 3x getting pked, and have an even lower chance of dropping things. b:chuckle

    from my experiences with pvp, on both the giving and recieving end of it, here's a "generalized" explanation of how name colors work in this game (the static %'s that the GMs have posted on the site are hella misleading)

    while white-named, you have a small chance to drop an item (very rare chance to drop multiple) from your static inventory (equipped items are safe)

    while pink-named (you haven't killed anyone to get pink), you have the same small chance to drop an item or two (slightly higher chance for a multiple drop) from your static inventory (equipped items have a tiny chance to drop, its rare tho)

    while pink-named (you've killed someone), you have a slightly bigger chance to drop multiple items from your inventory (chance for only single drop is rare now), and you have a small chance (bigger than pink-name without killing another) to drop an equipped item

    while red-named (you've killed a few white-named players, or several pink/red-named players), you have a guaranteed multiple drop from inventory, and moderate-high chance to drop equipped item (small-moderate chance for multiple equipped item drop)

    while blood-red-named (you've killed several white-names who didn't fight back, or have committed mass-murder on pink/red-named players), you have guaranteed multiple inventory drop, and guaranteed multiple equipped item drop


    been in all the stages, and this has been my own personal experience with it



    EDIT: btw, what server are you on?
