Huh?

it would really be great to have perma red, hopefully cut down on the number of blue pk's. Seriously, I try to talk to most people I meet in dungeons (blues obviously), and 90% of the time the answer back is a hally to the face, which is confusing. One guy ran up and got a last hit off me after some lucky casts from mobs hit me, went red, came back 10 minutes later, and was blue? Something just seems amiss.

As much of the current focus lately has been to resolve some of the accuracy issues on UOSA I plan to implement perma-red very soon. All players will of course start with 0 "ping-pongs".

Glad to see perma red will finally be making its way into the server.

This is music to my ears.

dang! i went red on one of my blue chars yesterday!!!! does that mean i can only go red one more time??

Takes 5 ping pongs in order to go perma red.

You have 4 left now.

When you are perma-red you don´t suffer from stat loss right?

You will always suffer statloss if your short term counts are equal to or greater than 5 counts. Perma red only means that your character never has a chance of returning to a blue status. There are three counters that are involved with player killing.

Short Term: Determines if your character is in stat loss or not.
Long Term: Determines if your character is red or not.
Perma Red/Ping Pong: Determines if your character is perma red.

Long term counts is what determines if your character is red or not. When this counter hits less than 5 counts your character returns to blue. However, everytime that counter exceeds 4 counts a tally is added to your perma red counter. Once the perma red counter hits 5 there is no turning back to blue, ever. It doesn't matter if your long term count is less than 5 or even 0. The character will remain red forever.

Being perma red does not necessarily mean you can't take stat loss though. Short and long term counts still continue to increment when player killing if you're perma red.

Thank you Faust, I play in a server where if you were perma red you didn´t suffer from stat loss.
Thank you again for clarify that.

I remember when OSI put this in back when I played back then. Also I do recall that all the counts being wiped from this. So are all murder counts going to be wiped or left the same?

Also I know this isn't era accurate but is there possibly a way we can get the I must consider my sins change to show how many counts we exactly have? The only reason why I ask is because the website only shows the long-term counts and not the short term counts. Also how long do short term counts take to get rid of? Is it 8 hours? Because thats what it was on OSI. Also I don't plan on going blue I just want the "I must consider my sins" changed so I could see how many shorts I have and it also gives pks like myself some realization of how many counts we can take.

Also I don't know what the whole fuss is about people being so scared of PKs. All i hear is people complaining about it, but in reality the ones that complain about it are the ones that gank 3+ vs 1. I don't see why PKs are being punished severey more and more on this server. We only have one town to bank in, we can't go in town, and we get ganked everyday. Also there really isn't alot of us.

Not sure if anyone else even cares about this post but oh well.

I thought perma-red only took 3 ping-pongs..?

Does 'i must consider..' show ping-pong counter? Is it numerical?

Also you can check your short-terms on the bounty board.

Numerical values did not show up during our timeframe.
