The ganking- Will it end?

I've been ganked repeatedly already. One time I was killed out of the blue, and than some asscrack killed me when I respawned. The whole white sands is a runescape wilderness.

Spawn camping is kind of accepted in this type of game. To not expect it probably means you didnt reserch the game properly.
Another great example of Moore's Law. Give people access to that much space (developers and users alike) and they'll find uses for it that you can never imagine. "640K ought to be enough for anybody" - Bill Gates 1981
Hah, that's open PVP for you. I wonder how it will be come the 20th/23rd.
play on a PvE server.
The Ganking will calm down as players get bored and as AOC put in some new rules to fix it. That is what comes with the territory. You have people who LOVE PVP and whine about it on the MB then when games add it they gank like there is no tomorrow until there is no one else to gank and they get bored looking for the next game.
POTBS has a similar problem with PVP and ganking. People like PVP, few like to be killed by groups of high level characters after respawning.
what I would do is make friends. An go back an whoop them . If not goto a pve server
As a follower of thusla doom. I will kill any one in my path that does not bow before me.

Speaking as someone with extensive experience in Open PVP games, the ganking wont calm down. It'll just become more organized.
Mne eto nado kak zuby v zadnitse.
If people bow before me and pay their taxes as in pay me money they wont die. Simple as that, they dont do either they will be slaughtered no matter the level, my character and his followers will also be scouting the lowb lands also, and best believe if they dont bow and pay me my wages they will all die.

Any game that doesn't use sensible mechanics to prevent ganking will see a continued growth in ganking. Expect it to get much worse.
AOC is one of this strange mmo experiments. They went so far to even bend rules to please gankers and griefers.
As poster before me put it, AOC will soon have to change PVP rules. But this will mean loosing customers twice.
First the people that got in now , but left because of ganking.
Second the griefers that chose AOC for its friendly grief rules.
PS
You think you are ganked now ?
Wait for power levelers / gold buyers. When they come with lvl 60 characters to grief lvl 20 zone
OUCH
Whats your character name and what server do you play on?
1. WoW has no policy on ganking and its doing very well but what AOC can do is like WoW when in spirit form you can move away from your corpse alot and ressurrect and run away. BUt in WoW i was ganked constantly i didnt whine about it, if you dont like ganking or getting ganked go to a PVE server simple as that. Or play in groups. PVP servers bring the community together in a way PVEers cant understand.
If you happen to play on cimmeria, and I happen to see your name, I'll get my guild to gank you, maybe camp your respawn point, let you see how it feels, etc.
*blink* Yeah...totally going PVE server.
I'd rather have a community of people who enjoy each other's company than a community that huddles together like scared sheep.

I will be amused if it ever gets leaked that Funcom admitted that "perhaps pandering to gankers and griefers wasnt such a hot idea after all." I say leaked, because I highly doubt that Bliz.. I mean Funcom would admit to mistakes. xD
Thats my thoughts exactly. They might call Pve'ers carebears, I call us smart... why should I pay 15$ to let someone have their twisted form of fun at my expense? If I want to get mugged (and thats what it amounts to), Ill go find the "bad part of town". >.>
There Many thing you can do too avoid pvp. I have done it in many mmo`s. Its not hard
pvp with no consequences = fail
Yes, and the simplest thing is just not to play on a pvp server. ^.~
I forgot to mention that I'm an RPer, so PVE servers are out of the question.

Ya know in the hardcore PvP settings (like Shadowbane or the old Zek servers of EQ) some of the closest and most awesome (and friendly!) guilds emerged and I would give anything to go back to "ye olden days" like that again. I think the scared sheep are the people who are fleeing to the PvE servers....they obviously don't have what it takes to muster the counter-attacks on the organized griefers. That's what REALLY makes open PvP work is when guilds and players pull together to help the lowbies and the newcomers and fight off the PK'ers.
I find it amusing that people say things like this.
So you're saying that you are so inflexible and bad with your roleplaying that you -need- to kill someone else at anytime, anyplace?
A real RPer doesn't need that kind of crutch.

Do they not have RP tags on PvE?

Or, maybe they just don't care?
Not everyone hinges pride and self-worth on how well you can pwn the next person.

Looks like the OP is going to have to decide what is more important, getting ganked or role playing. Wait, you could role play on a PVE server right?
Expect the killing to go on,and it will hurt, and hurt.
You have to play very defensively on a PVP server, especially when soloing or focusing on PVE content.
Its not for everyone, hence they make PVE servers for those who don't care for it.
