Now I was poking around Imperian last night and this came up:

Subj: PK Event

Some clarification and rules about the PK event:

Each person has a pk worth that's dependent on several factors,
including but not limited to: level (weighted heavily in favour of PK
experience level), skill ranks, artifacts, combat rating, and arena
wins. Every time you kill someone, their pk worth to you decreases. That
worth will gradually increase back to its original value over time.

When you kill someone, you gain pk points. When you die from another
player, you lose pk points.

You will gain/lose pk points if the killee transmogrifies, controls
monoliths, starbursts, etc.

You will not lose xp of any type during this event, and order strength
will not decrease when you die. Aspects will lose monoliths.

You will not gain any points for killing somebody that's in the same
Guild, City, or Order as yourself.

Players under level 25 are not worth any pk points.

The top 3 players in pk points at the end of the 24 hours will receive
credit prizes.

Use EVENTRANKINGS PK to see the rankings.

You will also be able to view experience rankings during this event.
These are here for entertainment purpose only; there is no competition
involving experience going on. The only competition is over pk points.

During this event, guards will not fire siege weapons, planted totems
will not affect people they are tuned against, and forest defences are

disabled. Extermination and firelord combustion is disabled during this
event. Guards will still automatically attack enemies in the city and
will respond to calls for help.

Some rules:

- Don't kill newbies.
- You can kill anyone else at any time for any reason.
- Do not raid cities/townes to kill guards, totems or siege weapons
during this game.
- Kill people for pk points. Don't use this game as an opportunity
to steal things or grief people.
- You cannot go after somebody for revenge for actions taken during
the game after the game is over. Get it out of your system during
the game.

Now I think this is an awesome event!!

It would let PK be fun, with no exp loss... Trust me there was none. I got jumped. And to top it off... It is a giant FFA against everyone, so Narsrim could attack Geb, Daevos could attack Ixion, Shorlen could attack Tuek, etc.

I don't know why we don't do something like this, unless it is because we are too immature? And would whine that we died?

Anyways, discuss.... I wanna hear what you think... and pacifists... shhh there are pacifists over there too. They just cut and run or die. Also any exp gained/gold gained from bashing you still get to keep. It is still going on over there right now too... Should go try and PK Shamarah tongue.gif

Why don't we do it on the road? (Cue music)

Ahem.

No. No raping the fourth wall here. Miss Immersion would like to remain intact, thank you.
Aiakon2006-11-12 18:46:39
Justify it properly with a good RP reason, and then yes. I like.

However, some random event where the Gods step in and say: Look! We will create chaos upon the land, and everyone will attack each other and pretend it didn't happen the next day...

No.

Really really no.

Let's not fall to that level.

It would be neat, though not really my thing.

Immersion?? Into what? Monotony?


To Acrune, bah didnt read that part...yes I lose at life tongue.gif

If your idea of fun is a big constant wargame where you can't do anything without being gang-killed, then go play Counter-Strike.
Shamarah2006-11-12 18:55:41
Yes please. thumup.gif
Diamondais2006-11-12 18:58:14
Is this an event, or a full time thing?

If its an event, sounds fun! laugh.gif

(My reading skills are nil today. Yay for essays!)

It is a 24hour event with prizes given at the end.

I agree with Aiakon. RPly this event makes absolutely no sense. As cool as it sounds, and as much fun as I may have during it, it would completely ruin the immersion of the game for me. RP is already lacking somewhat - if this is implemented it will be the killing blow.
Ekard2006-11-12 19:02:16
We have wildnodes for that right?

For 2 hours you can attack who you want on astral, they will conglutinate( its laughable exp lose) and beyond that you haev a goal and not only stupid bloodbath.

Yes i know its mainly group vs group but i still think its fun.
Verithrax2006-11-12 19:09:19
This would also be very inconvenient and irritating for people not into it... You wouldn't be able to go anywhere without being jumped. Even without the XP loss that still means most others stuff you could be doing will be disrupted, so nobody who's not a fighter would even log on or leave his city.
Richter2006-11-12 19:21:12
Ruins immersion, and I wouldn't be logged on during that day, at all. I'd be worth a fair amount of PK points, and not able to fight back very well. How do I explain my allies attacking me one day, and not be sore about it the next?
Anarias2006-11-12 19:24:19
Sounds like Anarchaea but without the coolness.
Vix2006-11-12 20:18:08
Utterly sucks for people who don't want to participate as well. glare.gif
Reiha2006-11-12 20:19:07
It wouldn't kill my immersion, since the Divine are able to effect the threads of reality and such.... I think this event would be really nice, although I may not participate in it. *hides in her manse*

I'd be piss if Reiha's family and friends went for her, though sad.gif
Daganev2006-11-12 20:29:42
You seem to all be forgetting the fact that imperian seperates PK, Bashing and Quest XP, and can therefore judge things... so in Lusternia such an event would be really hard to code fairly.
Bhiele2006-11-12 21:08:13
Almost every weekend they do something like this in Imperian. They have this mob named Timas that does various games/events. The prizes rock and people do really seem to like the games, even if there isn't a good RP reason other than this guy Timas likes to see people run around after gems and kill each other.
Daganev2006-11-12 21:14:28
Yes, bribe people with credits... an excellent idea.

Wildenodes should have credit prizes, and so should villages!
Gandal2006-11-12 21:25:29
YES. Especially wildnodes. But..the only thing I could see happening is, um, Shikari comes?
