Are player killers allowed here?

[Mark]

Hello,

Just few minutes ago I was urged to run from, as I got it, a player killer in Britain. Someone or something pounced me while I was unarmed collecting resourses. I did not checked his ID as was busy fleeing through all city, before jumping in safety behind the teleport.

Want to know, what was that black one there. Anybody knows?

you cant pvp outside of the pvp areas.

[Mark]

It was inside "guarded" zone in Britain. If pvp is not allowed there, than why this guy still appearing from time to time on the main teleport there?

[Adrias]

not only is not allowed, it's not even possible to attack another player (unless you are in a guild) outside of the pvp area.
were you in fel? in fel there are monsters with red names in britain.
otherwise what resources were you collecting? were you using gargoyle tools? although I believe guards auto kill those when spawned in town

Are you in a guild? What's your character's name?

[Mark]

I was lumberjacking, but almost inside the capital city and when realised that this black rider, shouting something in red, zeroed on me - I make a loop through the city with him on tail.
Technically he did not managed to attack me, but was intellegent enough to follow only me and not NPCs and later to use teleporter.
Same rush tactic pk used on other shards, but than beginners was not provided with pets.

[Mark]

and I am not in any guild, but as I have said, technically he just aimed on me. Probably he would not be able to attack at the end. I will try to find out that next time.

Were you in trammel, or felucca?

[Mark]

it was, that is rediculous, in the capital city Britain.

there are 2 capital cities of britania 1 in fel and 1 in tram. there are 2 facets to this game. i don't think people can get into fel brit though. it's been blocked off for some time now. but if your not in a guild and someone does that...i would wait to see if he can hit me (which he can't). if your fel side just run. if tram and he is able to hit me. i would page a gm and he'll go bye bye for using a bug to attack a player. if you need a res you can world chat for one, and me or another person would gladly come res. if i see him (and he's a player) killing a player.... well i'd really make it hard for him to play on this shard.

Ok, so nobody attacked him. He stated that. All that happened is that he was "chased" by a "black rider" who obviously had a red name that would suggest PK and he spoke in red. I am 99% sure I know who he is talking about. But he exaggerated in the initial post, which made everyone assume he was attacked. Not once does it say he was attacked. It says someone "pounced" on him. I would bet he was just scared of the red name and took off running. Doubtful that he was being followed. Perhaps the "black rider" was going the same direction at one point, but I doubt there was anything more to it. It appears a case of mistaken identity. Problem solved, problem staying solved.

[Mark]

Xavian, were it you sticking to my tail "the same direction" making quite a loop from the road to north cemetery, around all markets to the wall and backward to the north bank? Someone has really nothing to do, but running circles around.


By the way, I have additional question: whose idea is to replace harmless zombie in Newbie dungeon by something called "Anshu (Paragon)", that cut off the beginners?

Anarchy, I will use your advices. This time it was only unexpectedly.

[Xavian]

Oh yes, that was me. I have nothing better to do but chase around a clueless noob. And who's idea was it to do the paragon? The shard's idea. The spawners placed by GMs is what popped it. It's not like players have any control over what spawns where.

[acolyte]

maybe there was a grave in dungeon and someone used a grave digger shovel and it spawned the paragon

also there is a black rider NPC with a red name, it teleports and chases characters. i did not think they were in trammel, though, but they could be

[Xavian]

I doubt it. If I had to bet I would say he got scared of a player in Trammel Brit and ran like a noob. Considering no attack happened and he didn't get the name of whatever was chasing him, we will likely never know what really happened. *shrug* whatever
