PK and Floran???

Today I decided to make a little PK character to help a little on Franz.

So I went on a rampage on Franz and killed 8 ppl, who was all runing in line, running into trees and such (I guess you all know what kind of "players" I'm talking about.

In the beginning I was just teleportet to a different location in the DE area, but after the PK number 8 I was teleportet to Floran :(
That really bad when you have a lvl2 char :)

So why did I get portet there, now I cant even kill "players" anymore :(

In Prelude and C1, there were serious problems with red characters camping the starter towns and PKing newbies to the point they could not level. In C2, several changes were made to prevent this behavior. Teleporting, red-killing guards were added to starter areas and red players, after five PKs, spawned in Floran, far from the starter towns.

If you didn't go there til 8 PKs, the rule seems to have been relaxed somewhat. Oh, Floran is really not too far from the DE lands. You can run there.

Actually, the PK rule applies a bit differently to different areas.

For example: If you PK is gludin, and you have 6+ pk, most often than not you'll be ported somewhere near Gludin.

The other day I pk'd someone by Dion on my alt, so that was his PK #1, and I got Floran. :p

I just tried this on my pk char tonight actually like 10 minutes ago...I was in gludio pking the Autonomous Players Union that have been running in the surrounding areas for the last 9 or so months (straight) and I managed to attract the attention of a player who was rather unfriendly towards me, I managed to lose him in the building of rod and used a scroll to teleport me to what I thought was Floran and lo and behold, I arrived at the third rock outsie west gate of Gludio :)

It's also in the lore.

Floran is a renegade town. Reds are considered outlaws so it seems to me that they just decided that a Red of a certain amount of pk's was a "serious" outlaw and made it so they went to Floran. Floran is one of the only places (only place?) where a red can deal with NPC's.

The fun part is, from about a 10 second walk out of dwarven village in the "wrong direction" you respawn in Stuttgart. Try to do that with a level 3 dwarf ^^

gludin area goes to gludin +6 or more
Gludio area goes to gludio +6 or more
Dion area goes to floran +6 or more
Giran area goes to giran +6 or more

All tested today.

I always thought it was a random chance each pk, u might go to town, or u might go to floren

Well you could just walk back to LE or DE vil, plenty of that breed of players there as well.

I remember PKing was a "cheap teleport" from TI to mainland in C2. You PKed few people, got red, died, bam spawn in floran. No teleport costs or long ferry journey. Many people used it that way :p

I rather like the "SoE to Giran" idear, now. Yeah, it's a long run to the Glus, but it's still better than paying your entire fortune for a **** boat ride.

I never thought boat was exopensive, us old timers used to either Walk across the bottom of the ocean with a few healing pots and soe at a certain spot or simply pony up the adena, 18000 tele was WAYYY more than the 2400 boat ticket.

gludin area goes to gludin +6 or more
Gludio area goes to gludio +6 or more
Dion area goes to floran +6 or more
Giran area goes to giran +6 or more

All tested today.

hmmm, that's interesting as you're supposed to go to Floran. I even remember that it was in one of the patch notes for one of the chronicles or one of the updates.

Only time I've ever went to floran was on my 6th PK. Every other one, including my recent 8th PK (need to do Sin Eater, being the clan "Payback's a *****" guy really gets your armor bloody.) inside NoS. Took me to Gludin.

Maybe they changed it. Or, maybe it's bugged.

Or maybe they changed it to "go to Floran", decided against it, changed it again, but there is a bug or somehting in the code where in a few instances you still go to Floran.

No this was changed in some patch notes.

5 PK's or less and you spawn outside the nearest town. Over that number and you respawn at Floran.

The only exception to this is Dion/Floran area.

ALL white chars who respawn OR SOE in the Dion/Floran areas will reappear in Dion. The Reverse is true for Reds. Die or SOE and they get sent to Floran regardless of PK count.

actually its the exact opposite painamp lol. Dion area is the only area which puts you at floran. As stated, this character has 25x pk's and he goes to whatever town he is closest too. I use SOE's to travel faster to somewhere I need to go because I know it will spawn me to the nearest town.

As stated, I tested this yesterday so it really cant be refuted. Go ahead and try it yourself.
