flagged chance to drop items lessened? rumour?

I could swear I read somewhere that your chance to drop items was lessened as long as you were flagged. In other words, your chance to drop items if you let the person go red was greater than if you had fought back.

Can anyone confirm or deny?

SargeNCs word:

White or Purple player dies to another player:
Chance to drop items: None
Chance to drop weapon: None

White or purple player dies to a mob:
Chance to drop item: yes
Chance to drop weapon: None

Red player with less than 6 PKs dies to a player:
Chance to drop an item: None
Chance to drop weapon: None

Red player with less than 6 PKs dies to a mob:
Chance to drop item: yes
Chance to drop weapon: None

Red player with 6 or more PKs dies to a player:
Chance to drop items: yes
Chance to drop weapon: yes

Red player with 6 or more PKs dies to a mob:
Chance to drop items: yes
Chance to drop weapon: yes

In other words: Being white or purple does in no way affect the cance to drop an item.

Repetitive Kitten

thank you for the quick response.

This is actually good for me then, as it is my first instinct to just fight back, now that I don't have to worry about dropping items, I'm good to go.

so thank you again, for the good news :D

Words cannot express the joy I feel in my heart.

I have some "affairs" i feel comfortable silencing now.

lol, I think we're kindred thinkers, Golden

Did they change something on this. I know that I have died white to a mob and dropped a weapon before. Its only happened once but it did happen.

you no longer drop anything unless red and over pks

Nice thats good to know. It was freaky the when that happened. I had to have a clan member run all the way out into the middle of nowhere to get my bow. I thought someone was going to pick it up for sure.
