Lineage Shuts Down PK Count and Hell Zone Movement
The PK count accumulation and forced movement to the Hell zone are disabled, but Chaotic alignment and equipment-loss penalties remain unchanged.
Publisher NCSoft's Lineage has disabled the PK count accumulation system, meaning unilateral player kills no longer add to a character's PK count, according to a report by Inven. The forced movement to the Hell zone that triggered when a PK count exceeded 100 has also been removed.
Characters already imprisoned in Hell have been moved to the Aden continent, the report said. The alignment system is unchanged, so killing other users still causes a Chaotic alignment. The risk of equipment loss from dying in a Chaotic state, known as 'Kada', also remains in place.
