Well, this is going to be long, so stay with me. I will put in some smilies to make it a bit friendly, and not so boring.
Anyhow. As paxx has mentioned, PK could be a way of getting rid of an unwanted/bad player that flames everyone, ninja loot, and generally harrases all. Instead of deleting his acount, so he can make a new one and continue with the same stuff, other players can make him leave for good, making this game a happier place for a bigger comunity.
The problem with spawn killing can be EASYLY sold, by making the main town, villages a heaven, or a safe place for players, no one can touch you. Also, by making the area around the city where the noobs spawn a safe place, and i am talking about a BIG area, this would give them a chance to lvl up, and hunt without any hear once or ever.
Furthermore. By making PKing only available to player of a sertain skill LVL. What i mean is, a player can NOT, and will not be allowed to attack anyone untill he/she is has reached a lvl 10 for example in any single skill (the lvl can be worked out later on). But that will get the noobs a chance to grow and get better armor, so that they can take several blows, and will have enough money to buy pots to heal up. This way a stronger players will not be able to pic on the noobs right of the bat, even if they are out of the safe zone. And the noobs will not be able to pic on each other, as well as other STRONGER players since they are not lvl 10 in any skill yet.
And when a player feels that they are strong enough, they can get to lvl 10, and be allowed to PK, and be prone to PKing.

And i mean, i read so many posts about REALISM, and making the game as real as possible. But why take out the PKing than, what kind of a real thing is that? PKing adds for danger, looking behind u, and seeing someone creeping up on you when you are 100 meters deep in the cave, and knowing that only one of you will make it out alive. It also not EVERY player would chose to PK, i mean for every ONE PKer, there would be like 50 non PKing ppl.
I hope you had the patience to read this, and actully agree with me on some of this stuff. REMEMBER, that this is only my opinion, and this is not meant to anything but that. I also hope that i have convinced some of you about the \"joys\" of PKing.
I understand that there is a whole other story to Pking, but this thing is meant to be bias(most likely spelled wrong). So if anyone want to add to this, they are more than welcome to.
Thx for your time.
