I might come off as an RPing elitist, but I find nothing wrong with the given scenario, so long as "Gokigenyou *****es" makes sense in RPing. What I
do have a problem with is people saying "lol DIE N00BS" in such a situation, or something like that. If it makes sense, then fine.
I'm a Pirate. If a Dustarian Knight sees fit to PK me in Bomboria because my kind disgusts him and deserves to be exterminated, fine. And even then, there should be some limit. If I run away from him, he should only follow me to a certain extent. If he's bent on getting the kill... well, that kinda sucks, but I'll work with that too. But when he comes and hunts me again at my respawn point, and wants to keep PKing me again, and again, and again... I do have a problem with that.
Basically, if it would make sense in a real life situation, it's fine by me.
But I have to say that I DO support the restriction you said you're not interested in. IMO, a kingdom tag is an RP tag. And an RP tag should be for the purpose of RPing. People might say if I want that hardcore RPing, to play Valikarlia, but I don't really think that should be the case. I'm not proposing the same level of RPing that Valikarlia has. I still think there should be regular PvP fighting, not some text-based, turn-based fighting.
