1) If a random mob kills you, you lose XP, and it is not a PK win/loss for anyone. Certain player-controlled things can do this as well, notably special guards and (I think) wall of thorns damage. 2) If a charmie kills you, it is as if the owner killed you. Otherwise conjurers and necromancers would all have horrid ratios. 3) Only one person gets a PK Win in any given death, and it's whoever dealt the final blow. 4) Wins and losses before level 25 are meaningless in the grand scheme of things. Wins and losses before level 40 are less meaningless, but still not very important. After 40, they are correlated with skill, but your choice of roles will influence this by quite a bit. In short, don't put too much stock in PK ratios. You can't see the numbers, they don't affect gameplay except in certain unusual situations, and plenty of retards have run up good numbers in the past. > If you are fighting someone and a mob attacks you, and you die to the mob does that affect your ratio? What about dying to charmed mobs? What about gangbanging- does the person who deals the last blow get the win or everyone fighting the person who dies?
