I saw something mentioned in a thread a few days ago, that the whole of Archosaur is PK enabled, in the same manner Secret Passage is, where blue names can be killed by any PKer. I ask, because my daughter, currently on the game, has seen several dead blue names around the city.

    That was a troll suggestion, at least I think it was a troll suggestion. I couldn't tell if they were serious or not. At any rate, pretty much nothing in the suggestion box is actually implemented in-game. Which is why they are you know, suggestions.

    I'd have an amazing time AoE-ing all the catshops if it were.

    For all our sakes, i hope that never happens. that will be the day i leave the game for sure, for then there will be no holding back the PKers, and the game would be little different, with PvE servers almost the same as PvP.

    I hope you are right. But how can there be dead blue names, in a PVE server? and my daughter knows the difference between dead and someone playing with the emotes.

    The dead blue names were very likely from someone dragging a boss with aoe through archo. It's currently not pvp enabled, as I'm sure the majority of the game base would quit if someone could just run through arch and massacre the population of the city.

    <_< The majority of the players quitting would also get rid of those annoying catshops in west archo too...

    Hm, true, that would be a possiblity, but how would a boss get into the west district area, where Hou Jensi is? thats where my daughter saw 3 of the dead. Gate guards keep out bosses usually, even Chin cant get in

    My guess would be Jewelscalen, as he can fly, has aoe, and can stay out of the guards range. I also wouldn't put it past someone to lure him all the way to Archosaur, I've seen it happen in the past. =P That is really the only way I could see there being dead people inside archosaur.

    Cyanair Specters are almost as famous for chasing unfortunates to archosaur and killing them while they AFK on auto-path. Its probably one of the two :p

    Jewels is too far away, to pull him all the way to archo you'd have to be extremely high level, have great gear, and likely burn a charm or two in the process as you'd need to keep takin pot shots at him every now and then to hold his attention or he'd just turn around and reset, not to mention its a good 5+ minute flight on a decent flyer.

    there is, however, a world boss between archo and silver pool somewheres that i believe has AoE and can definately wipe the floor with anyone who tries to attack it.

    More then likely, and i've seen this first hand, a batch of bored pk'ers decided "Hey, lets whack on some guards" and got their butts handed to them.

    As a cleric luring jewelscalen is easy. But you can't lure it into the city. It loses aggro once you get over the wall. Its like an antiboss wall. Unless they took it out?

    If it's possible then no matter how stupid it is there's someone bored enough to do it.

    OP mentioned that the dead people were blue names.

    Huh, didn't know that. Guess that explains why West Arch isn't cleaned every few days/weeks.

    There is a lower lvl aoe boss by heavens tear.... Just on top of the mountain there. He would be very easy to pull to archo.... And he flies... All you gotta do is turn around and hit him every now and then to hold aggro

    There's water between the bosses at Silver Pool and archo.

    It was probably Chin or Jewelscalen.

    Chin's aoe isn't that strong which is why only the blue names are dead.

    And the golden boldwing (bolden goldwing?) boss is so weak.

    If you die in PV and relog you will be dead on the floor at the elder's feet.
    And Cynnair specters as mentioned before are nasty and follow you around. If the ppl were afk there's a big chance they've been killed by those.

    There's no chance that Arch has such a thing.


    There's something called SAFE ZONE, even secret passage has it and into that zone (no matter what) u cant PK

    Could be those venomous ghouls outside Arch. Poison could have stacked and killed them while walking into town. Otherwise, no clue b:surrender

    Archosaur isn't an instance; it's part of the world map, so it would never happen.

    Forced PvP zones exist inside instances only.

    Jewels can be perfectly lured with a +2.00 fly mount.

    He follows you fast enough to where he can attempt to attack and then looses range.

    I accidentally brought him with me to the other side of the map while questing when auto path first came out b:chuckle

    I saw two dead blue-names by Hou Jehnsi yesterday as well. At the time I assumed they had autopathed to the WQ NPC with a cyannair on them, but thinking about it later I realized they would have had to go to East Barrier first so that didn't make sense. I guess it could be that two people both happened to autopath from Sanctuary to the CS NPC afk, set to drop upon arrival... but then they would be dead on the NPC's head presumably and they were sort of a few feet away from any NPC. And that room is so crowded all the time that if someone were actually able to pull a boss (which they can't; they turn back when you pass over the wall) it would have killed more than two people.

    I am baffled. b:puzzled
