will not be a pk party

[Leonidar]

Just whanted to share a thought i had..
Alot of people will join Franz at the start just to pk everyone.. but i really doubt that will be as hard we think it will be.
As i realised that at the launch of C5 there will be an event that hands out gear , that mean that we get almost top NG weapon from the start and you can only have them if you have less then 1 pk.
Meaning that the people that will only trie and pk will have a crappy weapons when you will have a pretty good weapon meaning you can fight back and will probebly win.. so people that have a fear of being completely slaughtered at launch should relax alitle... :)

if thats a fact, what makes you think the PKers wont have it

[Champa]

Because as soon as you PK for the first time, you can't use the free weapon anymore.

Because the handed out gear has a specific trait to it that prohibits equiping it if the player has commited even a single "PK", the same as when they were handed down the last time as well.

IMHO great idea.

it wont save you.

people will use the weapon to lvl really fast to top 20's by then have enough to get mid or top D weapon.

then they wil sell off a ton of stuff to make money.

run around as a lvl 32-36 archer or dagger pking every one on noob villages.

[Leonidar]

and trying to kill someone that is red is pretty fun if you get together... Dgrade loot at lvl 15 something Wo0t :p

I was pointing out the fact about the event gear only, not about player activity per se.

[_Einherjar_]

only a complete [censored] would waste time xping form nothing to lvl 3x to pk lowbies.. l2 has plenty of those but not even they would bother to do that.

[Woodsman]

A lot of the normal players will be busy leveling lowbies on their own server to get reputation points for their clan. So I think this will be a smaller problem then it seems. Most of the PK'ers will be to lazy to level to a high level and you should be in the safe zone quite fast.

Because with top NG gear from the get-go it doesn't take any effort to hit 3x...2-3 days on the outside...and the people that have a bad enough attitude to delight in and want to PK are the same people that would waste two days to do it.

THAT SAID:

There are enough mobile anti-PK units around the newbie areas to make PKing less successful than it has been in the past at a server's birth.

AND

Before when there were rashes of PK's here or there they were primarily twinked high level characters that were around for no reason than just to kill lowbies, and past 20 there was only a few select places to level effectively, so newbies were easy to find.

Aden and Elmore have gotten a LOT bigger so there are a lot more places to play and therefore more places a PK has to look to find a victim, and with the new gear boosts we have normal players will be almost as well equipped as the PK's. They might be higher level...but first you have to be found, then you have to be alone, then you have to be ENOUGH lower level that you can't get away.

I just don't see that it will be the problem that it was on say, early Lionna when PK's took over TI, and killed anyone that wasn't red on the island except select alts that they used to go to town and bring them supplies.

They even staged little pirating missions and all unloaded off the boat in Gludio, killed everyone in town, and took the boat home.

The funny thing was, they were actually semi-successful at it since most of them were 50+ when the average level range on the server was closer to 35, and they were the only ones in D grade gear (C grade wasn't available yet).

We might see a little of it, but a new server in C5 is a different beast than a new server in OB or Prelude or C1.

mm sounds fun man i whant my prelude; Pk, PvP felling.
