So I pretty much started playing L2 about... 9 hours ago? ;) Yeah~
So I got bored of questing and decided to start smacking some people around my levelling zone (Why? Don't ask me) As everyone else, I ended up with the Rep deficit, and I might end up re-rolling I think, heh.
So here's my query~ Does this change when you hit max cap? Presumably Max level, PK'ing other Max level players? I'd hate to kill 1 person at end game and end up having to farm 700 mobs. The main reason I chose to play this game was for the PvP aspect, from the Youtube videos I watched, they seemed fair. Am I playing the wrong game? Are my hopes too high? Please advise :<
Ps. While i was discussing in-game, someone mentioned duels? Don't mention duels. It's not the same.
PPs. I guess I set the standards compared to Shadowbane?
At higher levels it's easier to get rid of PK but you will probably eventually regret PKing at higher levels if you wanna develop your char, it has it's consequences.

Thank you for the reply, Yuna :) Would you mind elaborating on that? I've searched around and there's not much in terms of a "wiki" describing the minor details.
Does gear pick up damage? Is there a chance of dying and losing your items?
unless you dont care about your toon lvling up....DO NOT PK PPL.....PVP is a whole nother story..you have a right to defend youeslf...and may the best man win...But Pking someone has serious consequences...for every person you PK you get neg rep...it is very hard to get rid of the neg rep cuz it cost so much to remove...ppl dont bother with it ( 500 mil Fame to remove 1 pk)...you can remove the red status on your character by killing mobs but the more ppl you kill the more mobs you have to kill to remove the red...Heres an example.....i have quite a few pks on my Feoh Wiz ( some on purpose, some accidental)....at last count i had 3420 point of neg rep which took me 45 mins of killing mobs ( at NO xp gain) to wash off the red status ( and you take big risk lvlin somehwhere to wash it off cuz ppl will try and do kill you )...not only does it take time just lvling to wash off the kama but you have to add in the time to A: Run to a place YOUR lvl to kill mobs ( and hope ya dont get seen) B: have friend summon you to a place to kill mobs ( and he flags too cuz he summoned you which puts him at danger) C: if you do not have a summoning crystal...someone has to bring it to you ( waste yours and his time) and Finally D: you have to do many many castle sieges and tw to get enuff "Fame: to remove just 1 pk ( as i said b4 500mil fame to remove just 1 pk count)....Trust me when i tell you ....if you not HARDCORE player....do not PK ppl, you will only cause yourself more grief than you can handle...Hope this helps :)
PS, As for the gears...if the gear you have was obtained by the Mentee system, IE: turning in your mentee cert at lvl 86 to get 40 Diplomas, then NO you WILL NOT drop the gears if killed...BUT....if the gears yuou have on was obtained by purchase from AH or drops off mobs, IE: Unidenitied gears....YES...this gear CAN be dropped....DONT PK PPLS
And for any other ppl that may read this and says, "ya CANNOT drop "Bound" gear", im here to tell you...you can, as i dropped a Bound Requiem Caster upon death once and a "Bound" Immortal Earring from the same death out in Swampland ( this was right after the GoD release tho, if that has changed , i am not aware of it, tho i havent dropped any "Bound" items since then. If you have links regarding the drop/no drop of Bound Gears and PKs...plz list it so i may have a look.
Join a pvp clan with many wars and you can kill war tags all night and not get red. Who cares to kill people that don't defend themselves? There is no honor in that, these people are pve and don't care to fight you. Flag them, they flag back, then you have your pvp with someone who fights. There are ways of trying to force flag also, but again, killing defenceless people for the fun of it is a bit lame to say the least. And believe me this protects you also, a awakend char who hates you can't go around and delevel you forever. In the old days some bullies where standing outside newbie areas pking newbies just for fun and they would never level. Ah yes, turn on gauge indicator in your options and you can see their health. You can kill them near death if you want.
Eh its based on the xp u get to clear karma, like if u are 85+ n u go kill mobs at swampland, itll only take u 5 to 15mins to clear your karma depending on your karm
a
When you reach the count of 32 PKs performed, you will start to drop gear, but theres a type of gear that cannot be droped (its either bound or event gear, not sure). if you wanna develop your char, you will eventually have stuff that are dropable if you are in PK and have over 32 PKs performed.
And taking away one of those PKs is really a pain in the *** like punky said.
Also you cannot earn XP and everyone will want to kill you on sight. I save my kills for special ocasions.:D
Lineage isnt the same, now u cant even pk a ************************************* bot that keeps ksing u at higher levels without getting tons of karma and waste 1h to get rid off, without mentioning u wont get any exp.
Keep doing the great job, ****** carebear koreans.
PKing around lvl 80 is easy as hell. just go to places like the entrance to Dragon Valley off of deaths pass and there is never anyone there. u can grind that **** off in like 10 minutes.
or just kill a red player for the + rep and then use that as a free PK ! works wonders
p.s. and don't reply to my post with "NO U CANT HERP A DERP A DERP" caus i pk'd 5 ppl last night got around 14-1500 negative rep per kill and yes u can

Your karma, or rep, is decreased by how much exp in total you make. Sub 60 you are getting +/-50k exp per mob. This will take you a while to work off. Once you are around/above level 60, most monsters will give you +/-200k exp per mob, this will take you no time at all to lose the karma/rep.
The higher level you get, the more EXP per mob you will get. 85+ mobs you can score +/-800k exp per monster, which is even quicker to work off. If you enjoy PvP as much as you suggest, you will enjoy this game. It is not a hit max level and do the same battleground type system, however. You will have to work for every kill you make.
P.S. When you are over 31 pks you have a chance to drop something from your inventory. Most of the time you will watch your SoE's fall, maybe those SoPs you've been trying to sell off, but never really bothered since you have enough adena. Let's not forget, getting gear in this game is a joke anymore.
