Re: PK restricted or unrestricted?

We put 'restricted' as well, although I suspect very few games are 'unrestricted' in the pure sense of the word. Our 'hard' restrictions:

1) The gods protect the very weak from the very strong, in a system that's based on both experience and track record (as in, if you are racking up victories, the game adjusts how 'strong' it thinks you are).

2) Once someone is defeated, they arrive as a (weaker) spirit at their god's temple. (Until they are weakened too much, where permadeath sets in.) Until their body reforms (10-15 minutes, similar to Kavir's game), they are safe from attack.

Beyond that, we're RP-required so some attacks cause problems there, but that's generally handled in an In-Character way. (For example, a paladin who murders another paladin will likely find themselves cast from the guild and unable to commune.)
