I know theres gonna be some armchair L2 savants calling me a ******, but heres my story. I was under the assumption that if u had under 5 PK you wouldnt drop items. Im sure most of you know this as well. I accidentally killed a member of party with Death Lord of all ******ed things. So i was like just go ahead and kill me i wont drop nbd. Wrong
I always kill myself at 4 pk and never drop. Even if u google it, it says 1-5 no drop. I guess im stuck in pre-GOD days? Just hit 2k PK on my perma red, going for a bil karma ;)
Check it. It's even stated in your dialog box after you PK someone for the 3rd time. Don't believe me? Watch your PK video. Pay close attention in the ally dialog box after you kill a bot (4:29 into the video). Look over there. Now, you look back at me. You are on a lobster.
PK system is changed 2,5 years. welcome in future :D

Glory Days Preliminary Patch Notes
PK System
Changed the way the reputation score is lowered
Before: The reputation score for Chaotic/Normal characters decreases in proportion to their PK count
After: The reputation score for Chaotic/Normal characters decreases more sharply after their PK count reaches 4
Added an item destruction penalty
When a chaotic character with a PK count of 4 or higher dies, the item destruction penalty is applied including augmented items
From April 25th until the May 9th scheduled maintenance, chaotic characters with a PK count of 31 or higher will experience item destruction when dying.
After the May 9th scheduled maintenance, chaotic characters with a PK count of 4 or higher will be affected by the item destruction penalty when dying.
The item destruction penalty only applies to characters that die with a chaotic reputation and does not affect characters that die with a normal reputation.
The chance of item destruction and the number of items to be destroyed increases according to the PK count. A maximum of 5 items can be destroyed after a single death.
Added a method for increasing the reputation score
XP and SP can be acquired when the reputation is negative.
Reputation can be increased by hunting NPCs
Reputation can now be gained when dying
If there is no XP to lose when dying, the reputation does not increase
Reputation gained from XP or dying cannot increase the score above 0
With a reputation score of 0 or more, killing a chaotic character increases the reputation score.
The maximum reputation score is 500, and the character’s name color changes to green when this is reached.
The effects of a character with a positive reputation score PKing is as follows:
with a PK count of 0 and a positive reputation score: the PK count increases and the rep. changes to 0
with a PK count of 1 or more and a positive reputation score: the PK count increases and the rep. decreases, ignoring any positive score
Added a daily ‘Repent Your Sins’ quest that can reduce the PK count.
The ‘Repent Your Sins’ quest can be obtained from Black Judges hiding around the south of Floran Village, Hardin’s Academy, and the Wasteland south door.
The quest can only be undertaken by a level 61 and above main class with a PK count of 1 or more.
You need 200 ‘Gemstone B’ items in order to obtain the quest item.
The ‘Repent Your Sins’ quest summons a ‘Sin Eater’ and involves acquiring XP and collecting ‘Penitence Powder’ that can be exchanged for the reward.
There is a limit of 10 ‘Penitence Powder’ items. If more than this is acquired, it will all be deleted during the reward step.
When receiving quest awards, the PK count will decrease by 1~3 randomly.
Added a ‘Reputation Penalty’ in order to discourage senseless PKing.
The Rep. penalty level changes proportionally to the PK count and number of negative reputation points.
Characters with a PK count of 3 or less can only receive a stage 1 XP unrecoverable penalty regardless of reputation score.
Characters with a PK count of 4 or higher receive a penalty in proportion to their reputation score and decreased P. Def. / M. Def. effects.
Reputation scores that had exceeded 500 will be adjusted to 500 and those below zero will be set to zero.
Removed quest items for the now inactive ‘Repent Your Sins’ quest.
The ‘Penitent’s Manacles’ that can no longer summon the ‘Sin Eater’ can be sold at the store
The item destruction penalty now applies to Chaotic characters with a PK count of 4 or higher (previously 31 or higher).
Lowered the requirements to obtain the Penitence Powder item for the ‘Repent Your Sins’ quest.
Thanks for the info guys!! Learn more everyday. The PK system was just something i took for granted that it was the same as before ;) I guess i got lucky all the other times i was killed at 4 ;) Special thanks to ShakaZulu for the information.

Well if you are old forum member for sure you will remember the here some ppl qq why they lose dark weapons and armor parts with 4pk + dead :D Your lost items is "noting" vs what you may lose :D
I thought items drop only after 5 PK.
That is something that should be said more loudly, in news, not buried in patch notes. 99% of people read only about changes in their class skills, new locations...
That is totally NC fault. Bad customer service, I say.

It's not NCSoft's fault that people don't read the EULA or the patch notes. In fact, before any update gets released, fanboys scour the Korean L2 patch notes for any and all clues of changes. There is always a big buzz among the players about any changes pending when any updates hit. It's not bad customer service, it's just players relying on other players for info and disregard reading anything really relevant to the game itself.
