We have a system where the player has a choice of becoming a Pkiller, by registering as such. You can only attack and kill other registered Pkillers, all others are auto-protected by the code.
You also cannot register before level 9. Apart from that there are no level restrictions, a level 50 player can attack a level 10 and vice versa. (The reason for this is that with our remort system a level 10, tier 4, multiple remort might stand a pretty good chance against a first remort level 50).
Our reason for choosing this system is the same as most others already have stated; to protect new players against the occasional rogue pkillers who seem to think that killing defenceless newbies is fun. But we also have it to protect those of the players who prefer to explore and pursue the quests in peace, without having to watch their back all the time.
Sure thare have been incidents at times with cocky newbies who think they can verbally taunt the older players just because they are protected by the PK code. But those who are foolish enough to do this never seem last very long in the game. It's hard enough to advance in a new game without getting yourself a lot of enemies among the established players. Newbies that act like jerks usually don't get any help from the older players, nobody wants to group with them, and they get ridiculed over gossip. And if they are foolish enough to go PK at a low level, the other pkillers will remember their past, and give them a pretty hard time.
Things like that are usually best sorted out by the players themselves.
