Ok, first I'm going to give some preface to why I had this idea. so if you don't care skip to the idea part.
So, me and a few buddies were out trying to fight PKs the other day. we would run through all the PK hotspots, and basically wait for them to show. I realized really quick how boring it is waiting for them, and or waiting for people to call them in. after 3 nights and only maybe 6 fights we gave up on waiting for reds and just started killing people. We were looking for nice fair fights with PVP templates and couldn't find it, so we eventually turned to any form of action we could find. (I would also add we have faction chars, but we were looking for more good vs evil stuff.) this got me thinking that its no wonder there are no effective anti PK groups, its just to hard to find the action. so I thought up this idea.
The Idea,
make a group you can join, similar to faction. You could call it the Sosaria Guard or something. when a member of this guard you have a few Pros for hunting PKs, and a few cons.
Pros,
I think It would be cool to have a reward system based off your kills in the guard. you get points or some kind of currency that you can spend on things. some things I have thought of are;
Obviously this is just an outline of an idea, there would need to be some work done to make sure people cant exploit it, and to ensure its not OP, but I think this would provided people with more action. it would give reds a reason to think twice before killing some Bard, and encourage them not to stick around and grief after. it also provides some incentive to kill PKs, and a way to actually find them.
This also gives the PKs what most claim they want, Action, and with far less sever consequences.
Lets keep this constructive, if you hate the idea give a reason and move on. if that's not enough for you, start a rant in the rants and flames section for it.

The Idea,
make a group you can join, similar to faction. You could call it the Sosaria Guard or something. when a member of this guard you have a few Pros for hunting PKs, and a few cons.
Pros,
- You receive a message any time a murder is committed, the message contains nothing more than a general location. (I.E. A murder has been committed in shame)
- Once you engage a PK they cannot flee, similar to faction.
- The ability to communicate with fellow guard members via a chat.
- You are orange to all PKs and Guards will not assist you in fighting them.
- Once engaged by a PK you may not flee.
I think It would be cool to have a reward system based off your kills in the guard. you get points or some kind of currency that you can spend on things. some things I have thought of are;
- unique wearable items
- Unique ethy or mounts
- Maybe you can use it to bribe for more information, instead of just a general location you can get more specifics (I.E. Dungeon level or cords, and number of PKs in the area), I think this would need to cost a lot or it could be to OP
