Welcome, friends, to this here PvP/Pk blog. My purpose is to share with you my motivations, strategies, and insights into the world of Player-Killing. This can include MMORPGs, and action/shooter deals, including things like Half-Life, Halo, Mechwarrior4, Enemy Territory, et cetera. I've played most of the MMORPGs out there, with the addition of easily half a hundred MUDs out there. Shooters, too, there aren't many I haven't lurked around in at one point or another. MMORPGs are my favorite, however, and the list of the ones I've enjoyed is also rather lengthly.

I dodged tuskers and lugians on Asheron's Call, my first MMORPG. This I played for about two years, before my Monarchy left for Dark Ages of Camelot. My jaw dropped as a buddy sold his Battlemage on eBay for fifteen hundred dollars. Mine sold for fifty-five bucks. DAoC bored me, so I left and had little adventures all over the MMORPG world. I mined mountains of metals in Ultima Online. I dodged bullets, angry nanobots, and bug eyed leets on Anarchy Online. I marveled at the prettyness of Asheron's Call 2, and grieved at the loss of the original's classless system. I offed a few people in the brief time I played as a rogue in Lineage 2, and smashed some Hero faces in with my Brute in City of Villains. World of Warcraft held me longer than most. I liked the class system, the way you could make money hand over fist at the auction house, and the variety of classes. PvP was very large scale, which I loved. But regrettably, I bored of it all, and eventually left. I'll probably hop back on someday.

Anyway, the point of this Blog will be to function as a window with which to view the PvP/PK world. Why did I start PvPing? What do I get out of it? Why? What were my most memorable fights? What strategies do I use, and why? All this and more I will cover in my successive entries. Here's hoping for a good ride.
Next step: Get a decent title bar and avatar. New post on the fundamentals of PvP and PK. Explain Greifing.
