Choice Pk'ing

In other games that I have heard about, when you create your crit, you have an option... (it kinda splits the game in two though...) You can either be allowed to Pk ppl, or be untouched by Pk'ers... I think that this would be a good feature to add to this game. please write back with what you think. (I know that some people would hate this idea, but thats because you take joy in making other people mad... and that's not nice, now is it!)

This has been brought up alot in in alot of places and it always does the same thing Not alot. I like the idea of it when you first make the crit you get the choice pk no pk and it is left at that if you choose no pk you can never make that a pkable crit.

The reason this idea keeps getting thrown out is, because then people would just create non-pkable clerics to run along with their pk alts, becoming almost invincible.
The only way to do this, would be to completely create a non-pk copy of the same game and split the player base between the two, which would be twice as much work, twice as much staff, twice as much space used on the server.

Ahh, however... If you make it so that you cannot join a party with sombody that is set to Pk, then would it work?... because, you'd have to move slowly if you were to have the cleric following the Pk'er...  (Just like how Pacifists can't join groups...)
However, the problem there is that it would probobly have to be scripted so that for each class, there would be a double one that coulden't Pk, or be Pk'ed...

Dual servers could be set up, it's likely to be tremendously expensive. But one could set the servers to be identicle, just with one of them completely non-PK. Funny thing is, I'd bet that if it were released, there would be an initial rush, but then after an extremely short time, each and every single player would come back to the pk server, leaving the anti pk server as an empty waste of time and money.

Accually, I'd love a server that's just for non-pk ppl like me...
I'd play more than I do now, and I don't think that's very posible...

I notice that mostly only the new players (or players without alot of wealth/ crits atm) are the ones wanting this 'no-pk' thingie.. I think you guys should just get with the program.. work hard when you can.. learn how to run and hide when someone tries to kill you.. then eventually gain enough wealth and experience in the game to rival most other players.. then you all may join the wondrous power hungry struggle that is nightmist..

Or just not allow non-pk crits to be logged on and the same time as normal ones, and vica-versa, a bit like pacifists. Also shouldn't be allowed to join pkers partys. (Because friends and clannies would be non pk with a cleric or something.) 
Oh yeah, i like this idea, and i'm not a new player.

I have been playing for about a year now, and I'm at the point where I got some money, but not much, and I can run if they don't kill me in one round... But I'm still agenst Pk'ers, because no matter what lvl you are, sombody out there can take you like nothing

I like that idea too: About not being able to log onto the, Pk'ing crits or party with them (Because you could just hunt with a friend in your party that's non-Pkable, and 'own' ppl like that)

imo . . . you take the danger of getting killed out of the game and you take all the fun out of it . . . .
Plus its annoying enough that you can't kill pacifists or crits with a 10 level difference from you . . .
dying and killing is part of the game take that away and your left with a game full of pacifists
(And yes I know I know that not everyone would choose to go nopk but then again Im sure a lot of people would train crits up to go to bosses etc. to manipulate the system)

Taken from the NM website's FAQ:
Quote:Every time I step outside the city, someone kills me!
Oh dear! In this game we believe in 'pk' - player killing. Players can kill other players, but only outside of cities. Sometimes you just have to accept that you will get killed occasionally, or you can use arenas in cities to train safely.
|
|
I think most people who download this game and start playing know beforehand what they are facing, then play for a while and suddenly want to change the pk aspect.
Granted, when I started playing, it ticked me off a lot to get killed, but eventually you will manage to build your crit up to a lvl where you can defend yourself. Constant comparing to other games is useless. If you like those games better, why are you playing NM?

As I said before... I have been playing this game for a while, and I still hate the idea of Pk'ers... or atleast that I can't do anything about it, and still be a part of my clan... now, if my Pacifist could get into a clan! I'd not "Complaine" anymore...
