Just wondering if it would be possible to make pkill enabled people lose less xp
when they die...you know, so that it wouldn't take forver to recover xp like
how i'm doing

I dont think 1 mil or 1/4th of you xp is too much to recover
under usual circumstances--i.e, not being the target of everybody
online, not being multi'd, etc. Almost every pkill char can
reasonably recover xp given a day or two for each kill or so.
Besides, unless something is provided to prevent multi, downgrading
xp loss due to pkill death would only encourage multi.
On the other hand, i would not mind having pkill-enabled chars
only lose 1 mil or 1/4th to mobs as well...nothing like getting
multi'd by a wild boar or a pookah and lose an additional 2mil.

Nah, 1 mil or 1/4's too much.. you don't wanna have to kill mobs for hours
after each death from pkill, I dislike killing mobs so much I keep myself
under 2 mil xp so the most i can lose is 500k xp..

Well, I will take it one step farther, and I hope htis is
changed under skill trees new xp scale, but 1/2 is too damn
much xp to lose on one death. For a level 14, you drop like 60k
XP, which in fact is approx. 2 and a half levels!!! I mean
one death = over 2 levels? No way...I personally think it
should be 1/4 for everyone...

Hrm, how about upping the xp of a player? I personally think if
the one dying is losing 1 mil, the one gaining should get 1mil as
well...where does all that excess xp go anyway?

well, for every time dying, that xp is equivelet of killing the vampire like about 8 times...also, I'm not a hp monster like most of you are, so that makes it even harder on me
after the skilltrees almost no one would be a hp monster, so I think it might be reasonable to lower the loss of xp when you die

Bleah, I only have 300hps and still can make up xp at a 'reasonable' rate
if left alone. It's more the fact that you are not left alone when you
need to make up xp that makes digging hard, not the fact that you have
little hps.

what you need to do is not die. -models 34 million total xp-

I will have to agree on kahn on that one... But the biggest thing that I have
come to understand about the exp, is that when you die, it MEANS something....
If exp was a joke to recover, dying wouldn't mean s--t.
To join pkill is to accept the stakes... You gamble in other words... If you
can't handle the 1 mil loss of exp, well then maybe pkill just isn't for
you.
Downgrading the amount of experience one loses would make a mockery of death...
Death is supposed to mean alot... so all i say, is avoid it at all costs...

bah, it's better to fight to the death than one of you seemingly dissapearring
off the face of the earth. (ie. renting).. i'm tired of not seeing any action
through being considerate to leave others alone so they can level pretty much
on request. in other cases, they don't even bring out their clanned when there's
any danger of being pkilled cos death sets em back too damn far.

In my opinion, one death doesn't set you back too far. One of the first
things you have to be good at to be a successfull pkiller is gain xp. If you
can keep ahead of the xp loss, eventually you'll figure the rest out. :P
However, four or five deaths does set you back too far. Perhaps there are
some who don't trust that one death will be where it ends. Perhaps they
don't trust that some treasured bit of eq won't be looted for no reason but
to punish or cripple them. Perhaps they don't even want to win, because clans
muster the ranks to 'get' anyone who has the nerve to even attack one of
their own and smash the one that didn't learn the lesson 'you don't mess
with clan .'
Perhaps the 'aggressive' or 'expert' pkillers have screwed themselves,
because they have run everyone else off the mud with these and other tactics.
Perhaps if people treated this as a game, and allowed the other player to
at least get a new hand before throwing down their Royal Flush and taking
the pot, you'd get more people to kill.
Many people seem to agree on a solution to these feelings: an agreement that
all pkillers refrain from multi-killing and that they don't loot without an
rp reason. If you're going to take pre-emptive measures to 'punish' someone
for attacking you, or try to prevent them from attacking you for a while, or
making them fear you so much they don't attack any more, then why did you
clan?
I ramble sometimes. Sorry about that. ;)

I wouldn't mind dying once in a while if I had more then 241 hps
I wouldn't mind dying once in a while if there wern't any grendels or phycho
pkills roaming around the place like hell so that I don't have to worry of
people attacking me unprovoked when killing mobs and stuff
Happens to me all the time,
