I think there is a lot to be said for the fact that you forced them to HAVE to run to the healer. Outside healing sources can be a saving grace for the wounded, and of course your downfall if you dont know where to find them.

We offer newbie ranks from 1-10, where PK is disallowed. The Academy is completely redone and always in the process of upgrading and gives you extensive knowledge of your own abilities, as well as how to mingle with shopkeepers, trainers, and even healers....which I'll tell you are scattered all throughout the world in every city, some in shrines and even some in the wilds to cater to our brethren who despise the filth of civilization. I would suggest to you, come back and spend a little more time in those 'safe' ranks. Every city you can pick as a hometown is safe for low level exploration, with many things to kill, observe, buy and/or just browse at the shops. Maps are available for free when you create, and if you need more copies our handy 'outfit' command provides you with new ones. Knowledge of the playing field will make you that much better at either finding that priest and healing up yourself...or finding that hiding place you discovered earlier and getting away.

I would have to say that you probably ended up the butt end of our steep learning curve which includes specifically other people killing you. I can honestly say that 90% of our PK relies on many other factors as opposes to just finding the healer, and running back to the fight. Our classes are the most balanced around and just the fact that you held your own and forced them to flee says something about it since you admittedly were just giving it a test run. I would also say a large portion of our PK happens outside of populated areas where healers are a complete non-issue. I think you'll find the elements of surprise, knowledge of your skills and spells and how they might match up against your foe, enemies vulnerabilities vs your strengths and of course your chasing ability will all factor in to a good PK situation.

Come on back, spend some time exploring the cities pre-11. Then when you are comfortable getting around, getting away, etc. I think you'll find our system one of the most fine-tuned around.
