Playerkilling on LegendMUD is controlled by a clans system. This system is entirely optional and permits those who wish to engage in pk to do so without disturbing those who wish to remain free.
'Clanned' or 'clanning' are terms used for being in or joining a clan. LegendMUD has a free-forming clan system in place with a maximum number of clans being 32. Clans may be full playerkilling(pkenabled), full RP(role playing) or a mix of the two. One does need to be pkenabled to join a pk clan.
The various clan organizations are generally themed around roleplaying ideas or professions. Some regard themselves as having special duties. Usually, one character serves as the guildmaster of the clan, although different clans use different titles to describe this position, and some prefer to not have a leader.
Along with the free-forming clan system is a fealty system that chooses the GM of each clan by the amount of pledges they have from their clan mates. Clans may change their current GM by simply pledging to another member. Once that member has the majority of pledges, they will take over.
Each player may only have one character per clan, only one pkenabled character, however they may have another non-pkenabled character in a different rp clan.
If the clan chooses, they may purchase a guild hall. Their clan bank account will be charged a daily rent for each hall they have. The maximum is 6.
Pkenabled people may attack any other pkenabled people who are within ten levels of them (higher or lower). Likewise, they may use offensive spells and various skills against said people that would otherwise be disabled. The sole exception is the guildmaster of a clan, who is vulnerable to attack from anyone of any level in his own clan, and likewise may attack anyone in his own clan, for disciplinary purposes.
Below is the HELP PKILL help file from Legend's help files. It will inform you of the rules all pkenabled characters must follow.
PlayerKilling, also known as pkill or pk, is the ability to kill other characters in game. When you enter LegendMUD you do not have this ability. You must decide to become a member of the pkill community, with the help of an admin immortal or department head.
There are two types of pkill: PKE and PKOk.
Characters who are not pkenabled may not interfere with pkill.
Read the help file on interference for detailed information on pkill interference. You will be held responsible for any interference you cause, even if you have not read this help file.
You may not, alerted to a pk situation through one character, switch to another character to assist. This is considered destructive cross-play. Though cross-playing is considered only a breach of etiquette normally, destructive cross-playing in pkill is not permitted and will result in punishment.
