    Default PK what is the point?

    I have been searching for a good MMORPG for awhile to replace WoW of old and Shaiya, which got old after I played like 4 months stright but had a nice run. But every game I find offers PK where you just randomly can turn it on and kill some one just as easy as party with them.

    I like PvP especally free form where you could be questing, farming and then see someone and have a war, but it makes no sence to me unless they are of a different faction because I'd rather team than kill someone for no reason.

    So was just wondering if anyone could help me understand the fun in it or is it just as easy for edevelopers to have no rules as to who you can kill.

    If you happen to feel pk is useless it would be nice to point me in the direction of a game with a more "good guys" vs "bad guys" pvp theme.

    Many of the pk games look good and offer great PvE but I lose intest with out the fun of seeing a group of good guys and calling out to my faction to meet up and whipe them out. It seems PK only lets you kill 2 or 3 with out penalty where as others promote more team work and comunity to ally against the other group.

    people like the freedom to be able to kill who they want i guess, like kill a newbie or try it with some high level, works both ways.

    I prefer faction V faction PVP myself, least that way you know you always have a bunch of allies around

    Anyways the point of pvp is to have fun... There you go.
    But other then that. Warhammer, and Age of Conan are good games try those.

    Edit: FOR THE HORDE!

    Conquer online causes people that PK a lot to have -rep and when they have that they lose items when they die. Like a red person drops like 1 item and Black drops everything. Stuff like that. Its annoying at lower levels but once you get 100 its really fun. I loved 1 hitting people with my Elite Longhammer +5? i think with 2 Refined Dragon Gems... Good times. But the leveling is uber boring fun game though!

    PvP is fun because you can kill anyone and you know it's ruining their fun.

    Asians would rather use a combination of asian, azn, asain with or without lil in their name.

    Likewise. I have already accepted the fact that it's immature and down right mean, but I get some heavy lulz from just being a total **** to people who are ridiculously full of themselves (I never said I wasn't a hypocrite) in open PvP. Getting a taste of my own medicine only fuels me to continue being a "Oh hey, I see you're 80% done with your long and arduous 'Guard the robo chicken as it moves from point A to Point B' quest. Die.' kinda guy.

    There are times at which pking can seem dumb and boring but seriously THINK for once...instead of bashing such a great feature.

    You hate a certain guild alot and you find out a certain spot they all like to farm. So you get a group of people and just destroy em all lol try tell me that doesnt sound fun...>_>

    I agree with that guy above me. without pvp whats the point of playing a mmorpg? there is seriously no point being online if you cant compete with others ....

    Eh? What game is this tormenting noobies comming from? im guessing its WoWs pk system cause ive heard alot of lowbies get ganked in that but lineage 2 really isnt that bad except on a few private servers but its easily avoidable since theres so many places to level anywayz

    we cant just say every game has it cause im a pvp/pk fan and i rarely see it happen.

    i love the pk system in lineage 2, it has a heavy penalty system but you can do the sin eater quest to lower your pk count (i think you get the 1st 3 without dropping gear)

    and later in the game when you get a good guild and want to pk another guild you can have your heavy hitter go buck wild (usually a dagger or archer)
    and help him wash karma while you guard him or kill him yourself and bless resurrect him so he doesnt lose exp and trade any gear back he drops

    theres nothing better then haveing people give you intel on where some enemy guild members are and have your daggers sneak down into the dungeon with silent move on and bust there ass while there leveling

    pking with a reason is very fun...pking cause your bored can be fun for people trying to kill you afterwords because you become a "living" treasure box"

    wow takes the soul out of pvp imo, its all set up for you and open pvp is more fun to me things dont always work out or may not be fair but its more fun to me...

    but dark age of camelot was great and l2 was great too, so i hope warhammer and aion will be the same way...wow is just a raiding game with pvp past time thats why most people get sick of it so quick when they only play to pvp
