* Murderers that die in a Dungeon (not including Wilderness) will always have a minimum Region Restriction of 15 minutes put in place for that region (in addition to any restrictions due to recent murders)

===Slaying Murderers===
* When a slain Murderer resurrects and pays their Murder Fees, the player that killed the murderer will receive anywhere from 33% to 66% (randomized amount) of the paid Murder Fees as Gold added directly to their Bank Box


==Reporting Murders and Initial Attack Location==
* When a player kills another player and can be reported for murder, it will now track where the Initial Attack occurred at, which is the most recent location where the "Player X is attacking you!" message was sent to the victim
* For all intents and purposes the Initial Attack location will be treated as the *actual* location of the murder for resolving Murder Fees and Aggression Restrictions (explained below)


Note: If a player is killed in a Grey Zone, they will still NOT be able to report the attacker for murder, even if the Initial Attack location occurred in a location where a murder could be reported (i.e. dying in a Grey Zone can never result in a Murder Count)
==Murder Resurrection Fees==
* When a player commits a murder and is reported for it, that player's Murder Fee will default to 2000 Gold
* However, if the victim is able to report more than 1 player for their Murder, the Murder Fee amount will be increased by 500 Gold per additional player beyond the first: each of these additional players will be referred to as "Accomplices"


[[File:murderfeedungeon1.png|link=]]
===Example===
* A player is attacked by 5 different players in a dungeon and is killed (i.e. a murder with 4 Accomplices)
* All 5 murderers will have a Murder Fee of (2000 + (4* 500)) = 4000 Gold assigned to them




==Murder Fees==
==Murderer Region Restrictions==
When a player commits a murder and is reported for it, the player's Murder Fees amount will increase based on the location where the Initial Attack on the victim occurred at. The fees are as follows:
* If a Murderer dies in a punishable location (i.e. not Grey Zone or PvP event) they will have an Region Restriction placed upon them for every region they committed a murder within during the last 60 Minutes
* Region Restrictions prevent a player from committing Aggressive Actions towards any Blue players in that area
* Region Restrictions also prevent a player from committing Beneficial Actions towards any Murderer or Criminals in the area as well (they may heal Blue and Green players as normal, however)
* The duration of all of these Region Restrictions will be (30 Minutes + (15 Minutes Per Highest Accomplice Count)) based on the highest Accomplice count of any of their murders occuring over the last 60 minutes regardless of location
* Murderers that die in a Dungeon (not including Wilderness) will always have a minimum Region Restriction of 15 minutes put in place for that region (in addition to any restrictions due to recent murders)

* When a player is reported for murder, they also will be told what the Murder Fee was for that individual murder, as well as what their newly adjusted Total Murder Counts and Total Murder Fees now are
====Example====
The following actions all occur within 60 minutes:


* The player commits a murder by themself in Pulma
* The player then commits a murder with 2 players in the Wilderness
* The player then commits a murder with 5 other players in Ossuary
* The player is then killed after running into Darkmire Temple


===Murder Fees for Unique Areas===
The player's Highest Accomplice Count for any murder during the last 60 minutes is 4 Players, for their murder committed in Ossuary with 5 people
Some areas will be considered unique and have a custom Murder Fee structure. In most cases, these will be dungeons that have unique level structures. Unique Murder Fees for locations are as follows:

* If an Innocent (blue) player is attacked by another player inside of Level 1 or 2 of a Dungeon and subsequently murdered, there is a chance that Warning Ravens will be sent out to warn other players inside that dungeon of what transpired
* When a Murderer dies in a dungeon for any reason, they will by default have a 15 minute Aggression Restriction applied for that dungeon
* If this occurs, all players (except Criminals/Murderers) inside of the dungeon will receive a System Message informing them of the murder and Warning Ravens will appear on their screen near their character
* However, if within the 30 minutes prior to their death the Murderer is reported for any murders in that dungeon, their Aggression Restriction for the dungeon will be adjusted based on the longest penalty listed amongst the Initial Attack locations of any murders they were Reported for in that dungeon during that time

Example:
* A murderer attacks someone in Nusero Level 3 and kills the victim in Nusero Level 2 (Initial Attack location is considered Level 3)
* The murderer then attacks someone in Nusero Level 2 and kills the victim in Nusero Level 1 (Initial Attack location is considered Level 2)
* The murderer themselves are then killed in Nusero Level 1
* The murderer will now receive an Aggression Restriction for Nusero of 45 minutes, due to the murder that had an Initial Attack location of Level 2

==Blackmarks==
 
* If an Innocent (blue) player is murdered, each player that initiated their attack against the victim while in '''Level 1 of a Dungeon''' will receive a Blackmark that lasts a cumulative 4 hours (no max limit)

===Aggression Restrictions for Unique Areas===
* Effectively, a player with an active Blackmark in place must use the Entrance of a dungeon to enter it

===Aggression Restrictions for Wilderness===
* If a Murderer dies in the Wilderness, their Aggression Restriction for the Wilderness will default to 15 Minutes
* However, if they have committed any murders in any High Penalty (90 Minutes) dungeon areas within the last 30 minutes, their Wilderness Aggression Restriction duration will be increased to 30 Minutes
Example:
* A player commits several murders in Pulma level 1 and then exits the dungeon and is killed in the Overworld
* The Murderer then receives an Aggression Restriction for the Wilderness of 30 minutes instead of the normal 15 minute duration
