How the System Works
Explanation
In Lineage 2, combat is between Player vs Environment, (PVE) or Player vs Player (PvP).
When attacking a player while pressing CTRL, or casting good magic on a monster or a Purple Player, your name becomes Purple, which means they can cast de-buffs on you and kill you without becoming a Player Killer.
Most people use “flagged”. instead of purple naming.
Overbuffing people, buffing mobs, taking over spots are not against the rules.

Griefing is only not allowed on Essence Servers.
Drop Penalty
- When you reach a certain PK count, on death you can drop your items while being Red.
- On Signature & Eternal: this is 6.
Reducing Karma
- Hunt monsters for experience to reduce Karma or die.
- When you reach 0 Karma Points, you are no longer Red.
Reducing PK
- Repent Your Sins Quest
- You need to level up Sin Eater Pet and hand it to Black Judge, it will reduce your PK points, allowing you to kill again up to a certain point without drop penalty. Make sure when you hand it in, it is not summoned.
- Sin Eater also disables receiving Experience.
- Make sure when you Add/Change Subclass to not have an active quest for Repent Your Sins (don't have the summonable Sin Eater) or it'll disappear.
- Put the item in Warehouse.
- Higher the difference between your Sin Eater's level and your level, more PKs it can remove randomly.

Tip: Avoid unnecessary PKing unless you’re prepared for consequences!
