What is this "Player Killing" option all about?


True Player Killing

This type of PK can only be carried out by players who opted to be killers when they created thier characters at the start up screen. True PK's can be identified by the [Killer] flag on the who screen. These players can attack only each other and not players who do not have this flag set.  In a PK combat each players autoflee is disabled and the only way to flee is to actually type flee. Each time a killer kills another character he or she is awarded 10% of thier victims total points plus any bounty  that is on the killers head. This makes Pkilling a very point rich option as for example :-

Killing a player with a score of 200,000 will award the victor 20,000 points (much more than for killing even the toughest mobile) and also any bounty upon the victims head (See info Bounty).

The other important feature of true PK is that only killers can attain the highest immortal level on Atrocity that of Arch-Avatar. The down side to being a killer is that when you die, you truely die e.g. your character is deleted! and you have to start all over again. The true PK feature was added to feed the bloodlust of some mud players but to also allow those people who prefer to just run quests to be able to do this unmolested.   Atrocity feels this offers its players the best of both worlds.
