Description

Decrease P. Def./M. Def. by 5% and movement speed by 5.

-2880
Decrease P. Def./M. Def. by 10% and movement speed by 10.
3
-4320
Decrease P. Def./M. Def. by 15% and movement speed by 30.
4 (New)
-5760
Decrease P. Def./M. Def. by 30% and movement speed by 35. Cannot use escape (e.g. Scroll of Escape, My Teleport, or Instant Teleport)
If you already have a history of PKs and more than -5760 Karma, then your character will be unable to escape or teleport upon login after the update. You can regain the ability to escape by killing monsters or dying to reduce Karma points
Consecutive PK Consequences
The Einhasad's Observation debuff will be applied to your character based on consecutive kills without resetting Karma points back to zero. A Lv. 4 debuff will be applied (not Lv. 3) automatically when killing more than 4 players in a row.

When PK count is 8 or higher, killing 1 player will prevent you from using escape skills (need to use Scroll: PK or complete Sin Eater quest to reduce PK count).
The maximum amount of Karma points you can obtain has been reduced from -100,000,000 to -10,000 with the update.
PK Location Tracking
The locations of characters with more than -5760 Karma points will be shown on the world map (same as the feature of showing the location of Cursed Sword users on the Live server).
The number of the PKers whose locations are shown on the map is limited up to 30 players.
PKers will not be shown on the world map if they've just logged in or are playing in instanced zones or world instanced zones (same as the Revenge System rules).
If you are the target character, then your icon will not be displayed on the world map.
In regard to raid boss difficulty and increasing adena drop and the item drop/spoils rate, we will be running special events for two weeks. As you play through these events, we’d like to hear your feedback regarding your game experience during the event period.
