"I know we've been pretty lax on this stuff, but it seems to have gotten out of hand. Here's the reminder:

Crossrace Mortal: 15 Minutes
Sameside Mortal: 5 Minutes
Mortal to Immortal: 0 Minutes
Immortal to Mortal: 15 Minutes

If you break the rules, expect consequences. The main concern that pushes this reminder is that people are dying in pk, and then logging on to another alt a second later and throwing themselves back into the fray. Some of you seem to have quite a roster of alts, so you get the idea. It's simply not fair play. This is probably the main behavior I'll be looking for, but break the wait times at your own risk.

Hello Though I know you are right for the reason you mentioned and it would probably stink bad having alt after alt come at you, just a little thing I'd like to bring up and ask permission about:

Seeing as we still have a fairly small and familly like comunity (right?) during the time I have been here, something I have found really cool, but it takes good will from the players is the following:

During pking, each player would pretty much choose his side (basically the alt he's going to pking on) and then both sides would say "go' and then pking could happen whenever, and if new players logged in they logged in... when I have died, I have often hopped on from ds to ls just to talk a bit to the player I was fighting against while waiting... not helping a side, well once I followed ls army around inside the ds city just for fun on a statter, they were laughing though and I wasn't actually helping the only guy alive on my team until I got out of circle to heal him



eh, I ramble, sorry, basically, I am on, a friend is on, we want to pking, he hops on ds to tell me "lets pking" then hops back. I die, I hop on ls to ask him where he is leaving stuff so we can try again when I'm out, and maybe talk about what both of us did wrong or did right.

OR it is group pking, I die, I have fifteen minutes to wait, I don't want to cheat by alting to fight with an alt, I just want to hop from side to side, to help pass messages, not give away info, and just enjoy the pking from both sides while I am dead, knowing that since I have good intentions, I am just enjoying the game.

Do you understand what I mean? if you think this is still possible, we would appreciate being able to continue in this manner, and if there is something fishy going on, on a player is not happy with someone alting and cheating in pking, to just give the player a warning and just report it. thank you Ravir for considering this, as a simple players request.

The above is the official policy. If you get away with something due to our not noticing, it (in most cases) will not hurt. However when or if we do catch things happening and we deem them in violation of these policies you can and will be punished to whatever extent we deem appropriate. Also remember that fellow players may not appreciate things and are always free to bring problems they see to our attention... so just remember these are the rules and you can be punished for a very literal interpretation if it is seen as necessary.

Thank you Rhollor

basically, don't play dumb, don't cheat, and if you are alting crossrace to follow pkign at a more exciting level by listenning to chats and narrates, and sharing messages from both side players, make sure it doesn't bother or offend the players on both sides first by asking before the pking starts, or by having an understanding

and all should go well, but it IS CLEARLY against the rules to break the 15 minute death rule to hop from alt to alt to stay in pking when you are supposed to be in time out ,)

we have agreed, thank you so much for clearifying this for some players (and all of us!) Rhollor

No problem.

btw, reareading that, I don't want that to be taken badly :/ I'm sincere in all I said there honestly.

Haha, quick response !

Rhollor just forum lurks now. But I miss seeing him in the mud

I am guilty of insta switching sides as well and need to stop but when I do I never interfere with pk or scout to see whose online and where. I mainly do it to talk to people.

I proposed a forced wait to Galnor the other day of 5 minutes, seems like a good idea and will end the above mentioned nonsense.

shake Evilina, would be a shame to let some sore pking from some people ruin it for everyone

just if you do see bs, let us know, and we'll start by talking to that person, just to see what's going on. And if they don't get the hint, we either we can mark their names, and give them a hard time, or some other means

quite possibly directed at me, I never crossrace however and i don't tend to swap if involved with pk at all.

That being said, same side, when I'm doing stuff by myself I don't really want to wait around 5 minutes with my gear on the ground or anything when it effects no one other than myself.
I guess I can be zapped or whatever but i feel i fulfil the spirit of the law for the most part.
