PK System

In Lineage 2 it’s possible to attack any characters outside peaceful zones. To attack a character, you need to press Ctrl button. If you kill a peaceful character (the nicknames of such characters are white, they don’t respond to attacks), your characters becomes a player killer (PK). Player killers get penalties which make their gaming process more difficult.

General info

You can find the info about your character’s social activities in the bottom part of the character’s window (Alt+T). Such characteristics as PvP/PK counter and karma refer to PK system.

Karma	Characters get Karma points if they kill other characters or their pets. In a common state, the amount of Karma equals 0. If the amount of Karma is below 0, the player is considered a PK, and gets the corresponding penalties.
PvP	If characters attack each other and one of them wins (kills the other one), the PvP count is increased. The count is not increased while dueling, during castle sieges or Grand Olympiad. The amount of PvP battles doesn’t affect a character in any way.
PK	If you kill a peaceful character, your character's PK count will be increased by 1, and a certain amount of Karma will be added.

Karma

1. If the amount of Karma becomes negative, the player becomes chaotic, and its nickname is displayed in red.
2. The max amount of Karma equals 500, the nickname is displayed in green when this amount is reached.
3. Reducing Karma
   • The amount of Karma for chaotic/normal characters decreases according the their PK counter.
   • When a lawful character becomes chaotic. Karma changes as follows:
     • With PK 30 or below Karma equals 0 and cannot be increased.
     • With PK 31 or above Karma gets negative values corresponding to PK count.
4. Increasing the amount of Karma
   • Chaotic characters can get Karma when they gain EXP и SP.
   • If a chaotic character dies, its Karma increases.
     • However, if the character has no XP to lose, Karma won't be increased.
   • Karma will not be increased above 0 when hunting monsters.
   • To get Karma above 0, you need to kill a chaotic character (360 Karma points are added).
   • For killing the same chaotic character Karma points are added only after a certain period of time.
5. With PK count equal to 0 and positive Karma, PK count will increase, and Karma becomes equal to 0.
6. With PK count equal to 1 and positive Karma, PK count will increase, and Karma will decrease, despite the positive value.

PK penalties

• Characters with negative Karma don't get XP and SP for killing monsters.
• Most of NPCs don't talk to characters in chaotic state.
• Chaotic characters resurrect and teleport to Floran Village. NPC in Floran Village talk to chaotic characters.
  • When teleporting from Isle of Souls, chaotic characters get into Kamael Village.

Removing chaotic state

• Karma decreases while killing monsters or when a character dies.
• PK counter can be decreased for completing the Brothers Bound in Chains quest.
• There are also special scrolls which reduce PK count and increase Karma, for more info, see: PK items.
