Murderers & Resurrection

Committing Murder

• 

  After killing a blue player, all killers involved will have the Heat of Battle mechanic activated (which prevents Recall, Gate, Moongate, or Hiking usage) for the next (2 Minutes * Number of Killers)
• If a player chooses to report a killer for murder, the killer will receive 1 Short Term and 1 Long Term Murder Count
• However, if there was more than 1 killer involved in the murder, there is a (10% * Players Beyond the First) chance for the murder to instead result in 2 Short Terms and 2 Long Term Murder Counts received
• Players now have 24 hours to report a murder after it occurs (previously was 48 hours)
• Say "I must consider my sins" to view your Criminal Summary

Murder Count Decay

• Both Short Term and Long Term murder counts now decay every 72 hours (provided the player does not commit a murder in that time)

Murderers Resurrecting

• When a player with 5 or More Short Term Murder Counts dies they will be responsible for paying Resurrection Fees when they attempt to resurrect
• Murderers who die while participating in a Faction Struggle, in a duel or tournament in the Arena, or while on a ship are not subject to resurrection fees

Resurrection Fees and Penalties are as follows:

• 225 Gold for every Short Term Murder Count above 5 the player has
• 25 Gold for every Long Term Murder Count the player has
• An Account-Wide Aggressive Action Restriction is placed upon the account that prevents any character on the account from conducting hostile actions (attacking, looting, stealing) against blue players for 1 hour for every 50 Long Term Counts the player has
• For example, a 1 hour restriction would be placed at 1-49 Long Term Counts, a 2 hour restriction would be placed for 50-99 Long Term Counts, and so on
• Gold used to pay Resurrection Fees will first come from the player's Bank Account, and if that is insufficient, will come from the banks of other characters on their account
• Short Term Counts are then reset to 5 after resurrection

Additional Option: Repent

• When players pay Resurrection Fees when resurrecting as a murderer, they have an additional option to Repent
• If the player toggles the Repent option, after they pay their Resurrection Fees and are resurrected, their Long Term Murder counts will then be reduced to 0
• Additionally, an Account-Wide Aggressive Action Restriction of 72 hours is placed on the account
• Players are not allowed to select the Repent option if ANY account associated with their IP Address currently has an Account-Wide Aggressive Action Restriction already currently in place
• Whenever a player Repents on resurrection, a server notification goes out to all players that that player has done so
