New changes to PvP the good and the bad

New changes to the PK system:

In the recent update com2us made noticeable changes to the PK system:

• If you attack a person who is white, and that player dies, you will turn red
• Red names last for approximately 2 hours (needs to be confirmed)
• If you die while your Red, your name turns black
• Black names last for approximately 3 hours

So what are the pros and cons to this new system?

Pros:

• Discourages players from PKing random players, this means:

o   Less pking in farming areas

o   Less pking in training areas

• This also means that the chances of getting PKed while exploring areas in enemy realms will be lower

Cons:

• The time it takes for your name to turn white is unnecessarily long
• Many players play this game because of the PK system, this new system weakens the PK system, reducing the number of wars and making the beach quieter

Abuse of the system:

Here are two ways I’ve seen the system abused:

• Coming to other realms and ksing other players

o   Because of the new system, many pros in the server feel less inclined to help PK ksers

•  IMPORTANT: Fake duels, players can give you a red name by:

1. Challenging you to a duel while they are white
2. Letting you hit them one or two times, without hitting you back (this means that they do not turn purple)
3. Running away and committing suicide

Just like that you turn red. Be skeptical of players that challenge you to a duel; If they run away white, RC immediately.

I wouldn’t normally do this, but to discourage this type of behaviour I may post the names of players who commit either of the two actions, for my server (Devilang). I play on both realms, so I won’t be acting on any biases. Please don’t email me any names; I’ll only post the players that I see.
