weighing two possibilities

[Black_rose]

I have been thinking about this for a while, and if we way the pros and cons of full open pking, and non pking.  then we can make up our own minds

Non pking

Pros
Peace
easy levels
not be afraid of players
more trust
walk further distances without worry
no need to find secluded, nonused places to mine/hunt ect. ect.

Cons
Rule enforcement issues
trade/monster-looting issues
less need for guilds
innability to take step further if needed
missing aspect of game
players will have no power over world

Open pking

Pros-
Vengence-
swift justice-
less money crisis-
stop beggers

Cons-
out of control
mass pkers
looters
liars
bystandards
random pks


i will add more as people come up with more.

make your mind up for yourself

There will always be a need to find secluded places to hunt because of large numbers of people mining/hunting

With open PK I can take down a player after he has killed a monster and then loot its corpse, the player being weakened by the fight with the monster

surely if there is open pk then it is possible to have a far greater money crisis ten at the moment as the Pkers kill people and loot their corpses taking money from them, meaning they have to spend longer getting money only to have it taken off them.

I do not understand how someone can roleplay an ordinary charecter, in a suposedly peaceful land with mass murder of complete strangers being the norm.
