Most of you remember me, I hope. I was a level
27 sniper before I perma'd (pkill) and I think the system
of redemption and unclanning has overlooked something.
- Snipers rock at lower levels, this is a given.
mage and fighter have quite an advantage.
millions and millions of xp in order to retire.
"sole even" purpose of pkilling. They prefer not to
kill a set of mobs with different rules and restrictions.
extremely hard time reaching xp of this caliber.
What I am asking is this, if I prefer to stay in a 20-30
pkill range, why am I not to have the same chance at
unclanning that a level 50 is? Esp when once you hit level 40
you get attacked quite regularly by level 50's.
Xp and pkill have absolutely nothing to do with each
other, I don't see the sense in basing retirement on
xp to begin with.
Instead, like most good MUDS, it should be based on pkill
points. Where as if I am good and I win, I gain more points
towards my goal, and there could be many incentives that
go along with this, use your imagination.
Redemption was such a cool idea, but it never should have
been made a way to unclan a pkiller, all it does is
say that I am a failure if I do not take a char to
level 50, which I HIGHLY disagree with.
Anyway, alls I'm saying is that at level whatever, as an
established pkiller, there should be a way to unclan,
whatever way that might be.

that got buggy typing numbers in the start of a sentence,
let me redo the first part.
-1 - Snipers rock at lower levels, this is a given.
-2- once a sniper hits 50, he/she isn't so good anymore, the
mage and fighter have quite an advantage.
-3- some people (ooc) do not have time to go out and get

I would have to agree with Trample. Experience in general and
Pkill have basically nothing to do with one another, say maybe there
could be a seperate Experience.. Pkill Experience - whatever and you
must reach a certain amount of Pkill Experience in order to unclan.
Along with this, if you die due to pkill.. -not crashing into a mob or
anything like that- then you lose Pkill Experience instead of Regular
Experience, so it would be impossible to Perma as a result of Pkill
This would also lower the signifigance of multi.. and make it not hurt
as bad as normal.. and if you wanted you could make it so if a pkiller
falls under a certain amount of Pkill Experience, he/she would be
autounclanned.. it's just a suggestion and my opinion on the subject

Didn't Mo already suggest this in great length, detail and coherence?

First off i must say this.. there is a lack of pkers in the 40-50
range because you all think your bait at level 40. This i found
was not true when i leveled up... most level 50's that i have
spoken to will back off for you to level so they have more pkers
to pk with later.
Mo and Trample have made good points on a new way to retire. I
am all for a point system so be it that the points get lower as
your level gets higher.. thus encouraging more higher level pk.

If you will get some point for kill, then everyone will want
to perma others.

no, people would not want to perma someone else and
risk losing points for doing such, if you get my drift.
you could also do this for multi.
