Help on: karma
Your karma is a value affected by how you deal with other players. Karma goes down when you PK or otherwise adversely affect your peers, and slowly goes up as you actively play the game while maintaining a peaceful relationship with others.
You lose good karma very slowly in rent. If you rent for months without playing, your karma can drop all the way to zero, but won't go bad.
You lose some bad karma by dying.
Your current karma is shown in `score' and will be one of the following:
Awful:
- You lose the ability to initiate combat with other players.
- Guards will frequently chase you out of cities.
- Some shopkeepers won't do business with you.
- Any rent bonus you had built up is reset to 0.
- You don't gain any new rent bonus.
Bad:
- Guards will sometimes chase you out of cities.
- You don't gain any new rent bonus.
- You lose 5% of any rent bonus you had built up per day in rent.
- PKing again will definitely move you to awful karma.
Zero:
- You don't have any good or bad karma, just like a brand new character.
- You might not gain new rent bonus.
- You might lose 5% of any rent bonus you had built up per day in rent.
- PKing will likely move you to awful karma.
Acceptable:
- You gain rent bonus.
- PKing once will likely move you to bad karma.
Good:
- If you were a new player or had lost the ability to PK by getting
awful karma, you gain the ability to PK now and your karma is reset to
zero.
- You can PK at least once without hitting bad karma.
- You gain rent bonus.
