Looking for a new game. Played Shadowbane for 2 years and loved it. Tried WoW, DDO, and Guild Wars. Hate them all. I want to be able to PvP anyone I want if I want. Can you do this? Lineage a good PvP game? Thanks for any info. Brawl
You can't kill whoever you want at will. There is a karma system in place. Basically if you attack someone and they don't attack you back and you kill them your name turns red. If this happens more than 5 times you can drop gear. You can work off these pk's with a quest. So as long as you are under 5 pk's you can kill anyone you want. However, if your name is red people can kill you w/o pentalty. If the person does attack back there is no penalty for killing them. All deaths give you xp loss.
If you want to kill people at will you need to be in a guild that is at war with another guild. Then you have free reign to kill any of their members outside of safe zones (towns). Both guilds need to declare war on each other to have open pvp. Usually it's more beneficial to declare war back once you have been declared on. war deaths are only 1% xp loss while regular pvp deaths are 4%, so you can see why it's just better to be two way warred.
hmmm...well, to add to the post above, you CAN kill anyone at will. You don't have to be in a clan war.
Now, there are consequences to killing a player that didn't fight back (or that you pk'ed). Your name turns red. It also can make you a target for other players as they can kill you without any consequence.
Also, you can't kill players in towns. You can train mobs in the towns to kill players however you risk gm wrath if you kill player stores.
Having said this, in the open world, if you have the capability to kill the player then you can. Just remember that there are a lot of clans out there who would like nothing more than to put you on KOS and hunt you until you delvl.
Have fun.

You just said everything that santaclaws said.
Yes, it's true that I reiterated much of what he said, however I wanted to address his first statment which was that you couldn't kiill whoever you wanted at will. You CAN kill whoever you want at will Provided you have the power to do so and that they aren't in a city.
Just wanted to clarify for the OP lest he believe that this wasn't an open PvP game. He also stated:
"If you want to kill people at will you need to be in a guild that is at war with another guild."
And all that does is lessen the % of xp you lose if you die. Otherwise, everything he said was spot on and I'm sure was a great help to the OP.

you all make torak's head hurt! torak SMASH!!!!!!!!!!
If you're really into PvP, this is the game for you. You can attack anyone even if unprovoked, inches outside town, if they are lvl 10 and you are lvl 70. There are of course annoying little consequences to this, but that doesn't really stop people Also, the developers of this game support training mobs on people while they level so that they are killed, and you can loot the items they drop and sell them. It is completely legit behavior. So you can grief people without even the hassle of going red! Of course, they could get some of their friends to kill you ...but you can get around that by crashing your client and other somewhat unscrupulous methods. And of course, if you aren't *red* when they kill you, you aren't really penalized much.
This game was *made* for griefers. Its griefer heaven. Well, and bot heaven. I must admit, it is a very well put together game, beautiful graphics and sound, relatively involving gameplay and character diversity, and the large PvP battles/sieges are great. Personally though, I am not the kind of player who likes to lose hard earned items and xp because someone decides to drag an entire dungeon full of mobs on top of me - a good clean fight I am fine with
Gaming? That's not gaming! That's just people sat 'round in costumes drinking...
