A Player Killer (PK) is a player that has converted to one of Bael'Zharon's Chosen by using an Altar of Bael'Zharon or Eye of Darkness.
PKs are able to help and—unlike Non Player Killers—harm, kill and loot other players who have also coverted. Player killers appear as red dots on the Radar, hence the term “go red” as an expression for turning PK.
The status of player killer can be reversed or "dropped" by using a NPK Shrine such as the Altar of Asheron found in Trothyr's Rest, or Adja's Memorial located in the ruins of Ithaenc Cathedral.
Although AC does not have content that is restricted to non-player killers only, there are some dungeons and quests that can only be accessed by a Player Killer (see below).
- Darktide
- Darktide is a PvP server, everyone who plays there automatically begins as a Player Killer.
- See the Darktide server page for links to allegiances, forums and other information.
- Alternatives to Classic PK
- Introduced in the Groundswell event, Player Killer Lite allows players to harm each other without the penalty of Vitae or dropping items on death.
- Introduced in the From Darkness, Light event, Olthoi Play is a feature that gives players a way to jump straight into PK without the need to first acquire levels and equipment.
