And you with 10 points, kill him then.( i don know lets make something up you get 25% of his points, so you get to 10 + 25%of1000 = 260? i reckon it sounds good. So youve just killed Istendil you've 250 points, next person that kills you get 25% of 260 points.)

I enjoy the stories and areas much more than I do the practicing or game mechanics, although it is pretty rewarding as well when you find a certain way to use a game mechanic to your advantage or find a particularly good place to practice. All this point system will do is promote more mindless pking the way it did when the All-time PK List was up on Dio's and the Carrionfields Homepage.
