Anyone else this that this might be a good idea? The reason behind it is that one person can ruin(by PKing) the experience of people who have never played this game before and get frustrated and instantly quitting and possibly losing a valuable customer.
The Priest of Blessings gives a buff that won't allow anyone 10 levels above you pk you until lvl 39. It's pretty good for new people so they don't get camped by high levels.

Not being Pked till lvl 20 is like not being pked for all of 30 minutes... And on a new server everyone will be within the same level ish as you for the start of it so they aren't gonna 1 hit you or anything.
I also have to add that this game is a pvp based game so if someone gets up and quits because they didn't win against a pker then this isn't the game for them.
Like Zoc said, a lot of the players will be new and around the same level so there won't be any one shotting or anything so shouldn't be a big deal.
so my brother and his women started this game 3 days ago :D
i was following them around to buff them , was pretty funny when cgers/bgers flagged on them , i was just like opps i did hit my fear button and nuke nuke dead. i see more pvp between lowbies then highbies ganking lowbies. and +1 too This is Lineage2 Pvp game, get used to getting atked for xp spots, thats why this game is lovely.
Soooo how many women did you say your brother has
trololol
lol'd.
@op
Like many told here...Lineage 2 is a PvP game, and this makes Lineage. Here you play hard or leave. It's not WoW where you can't PK (same faction) that noob player KSing you or bothering you, this is why I love this game so much.
i pked some dwarf at lv20 on chronos.
i got ~700 pk. one mob removes ~5 pk points.
it is no point to PK players in global servers on low level as this is going to harm only your character (huge exp loss till you get your karma cleaned + death penalty, so you need to buy scrolls)
They kinda really made PKing pointless though since the penalties are so freaking ******ed. I mean cmon, it's not like we really needed to punish PKs harder ... ppl hardly PKed eachother anyway.
Now all those private server **** can pick up my drops without me being able to stop them. Looking for longer lasting drop rules!
I'm pretty sure i would be classed as "Carebear" but i don't think the PK penalty needed to be increased. It was bad enough as it was if i ever needed to kill some noob trying to move into my area or steal my drops. Hell, I'm a PP main and i had like 50 some off PKs.. speaking of which i should probably check to see if i removed them all.. lol
You should realize that NCwest is just hosting the game in NA and don't have any actual developers here. We will always get same mechanics and updates as NCkorea.

Suggesting anything like that here is pointless.
Not always the same. For example the Dimensional Merchant thingy went unused in NA servers for what... 2 years?
Lol, dont disable pvp, dude you won't do much of pvp until lvl 50+, i guess, made a hand full of chars to lvl 40,50 and the only pvp i had was at 50+...this dude came near me and says leave this spot...needless too say i'd lol in his face, so this dude came again start atacking me when i was killing mobs, so after i killed the mob, i pvp the guy and he lost, after 2 min he came again start to attack me and he lost again...after 5 min i started pm the guy about if he learned the lesson...L2 its a pvp orientad game you need to see this, i dont do much of pvp, i prefere pve, but a little group pvp is great..if you aer being pk'ed its possible that you are ks the mobs from other players, you cant defend your spot ooorr you're just unlucky i guess lolol, if you're unlucky shouting might be a good ideia. I allways try to help new guys when they are bullied from some other high lvl players

That's because it was part of payment method in Korea that we didn't had here. Still we get everything what NCkorea (update wise) and sometimes little less, never more then them :D (unless you count in rolling OLD Aprils Fools event in November something new :p)
LOL @ disabling pvp and pk's below level 20. I can't tell you on how many characters my first pk was before I hit level 20. Blessing of Protection. Get it, Use it and go play WoW if you can't handle the pvp. If new players quite because someone killed them over a level 15 mob, how do you think they're going to react when their group gets wiped by an entire alliance waiting for a raid boss? Seriously if you can't handle the fact that pvp can and will happen and PKing will always happen regardless of the penalty then please for everyone's sake go play a more pve oriented game.

LMAO i can handle it fine i really could care less. I know for new players that learning a new game can be frustrating and if their getting pked they might just get up and leave. Like yesterday me and my friend pked around 15 different people and i noticed only a few of them came back and hunted again and i thought to my self "**** did i just lose some players permanently for griefing them"
in my 7 years here i have been PKd by countless people. heroes to low levels - ive had my hat handed to me by almost everyone.
i've been part of pvp competitions in small clans on devianne, and held my own competitions in other clans on Lionna, with special rules of faceoffs between equals and potions, and grades...
never once have i heard of, or seen, or heard rumors about anyone leaving the game because they got ganked and died.
people are hooked in L2 because of the combat - not the scenery.
my gf is the least pvp-ish person i know, and really hated being PKed and being in clans that were at war when she started. So she just changed clans and leveled in differnt areas. Even she didn't quit.

Are you sure? I mean, if you're gonna get ganked, better a Lineage Dark Elf than a WOW Troll :p

Maybe because people payed for the game. Now that people are getting it for free there more likely to just move on to a new F2PMMO since they didn't spend a dime.

Lol, no.

Suck it up, buttercup. It's part of the game. Call it an intelligence test to see if you can play L2.
Yep.
Let them all start Lineage 2 in complete carebear mode.
We wouldn't want the new server to have exciting drama leading to clans and alliances fighting each other over stuff on it, would we?

1. it's a pvp game, can't handle it - find another one
2. as already pointed by another person, get a blessing of protection
3. 1-20 is like 45 min since a year or so
4. game is f2p - there will be most likely 10 new accounts for the one quitting; valuable customers are only those who use game shop, the rest is just customers
5. close the thread

Actually, to be honest, there is alot of content in Lineage 2 that is not availible here in the west.. Not just the Dimension Merchant, there are missing quests, instance zone's and items that we don't have :)
no, we have the functions in game, theyre loaded with every instance of the game; theyre just disabled for whatever reason. theres nothing that WE have that NCKR doesnt. the point of suggestions is to change the game for us, which to date has only actually enabled the NCWest team to filter the suggestions for content to disable, not to create from scratch.
