Have you murdered another player in a MMORPG?

Not realm vs. realm but unprovoked murdered another player in a game that allowed you to player kill.

Logic, my dear, merely enables one to be wrong with great authority.
One, I don't really play PvP MMOs and two, I can never forget that there is a human being on the other side of the screen so I get no "joy" from "ruining their day."

Personally the only modern MMORPG trend that annoys me is the idea that MMOs need to be designed in a way to attract people who don't actually like MMOs. Which to me makes about as much sense as someone trying to figure out a way to get vegetarians to eat at their steakhouse.- FARGIN_WAR

If you want a new idea, go read an old book.
In order to be insulted, I must first value your opinion.
Player killed? Only other reds or people who have gotten me first. I find pk'ing unsuspecting people to be lame and boring. I need a proper motivation. That's why I sort of prefer sieges and battlegrounds.
Additionally, a clan war would be proper motivation but it's simply from a game play point of view. If it starts becoming too personal then that's an issue.

Yep. First time was in early Ultima Online, 97-98'ish. I've always been the chivalrous rpg'r but thought I would try out the dark side. Made a new toon as to not tarnish my noble character, and lured a newbie out to the woods under the guise of helping him. After getting him out there I killed him. It felt bad.....real bad lol. Never did it again outside of faction pvp. Instead I joined Defenders of Justice on Catskills and became a PK hunter. Those kills don't count imo lol.

Y'all need to relax.
You know, have you killed player for no reason other than loot, malice, boredom or etc?

Maybe ask "has anyone ever ganked a noob?"
C'mon, you know you have. Who cried when Old Yeller died?

I Pk'd in diablo 2 hardcore.
I'd make a PvP character, a lvl 13 dual spear thrower guy, go to a lvl 30+ level, hostile everyone, they'll laugh at me, then i'd go and kill them.
I used to do it with a lvl 9 pikazon vs lvl 15-18 characters.
I ruined quite a few many days. Sometimes, they'd come back with high level PvE character, i'd bring in my lvl 40-50 PK character and wreck them.
However, i've died quite a few times to people hacking and using exploits though in hardcore, those people are retarded. I used other people's hubris against them.
I killed in EVE too, but my worst loss was i was freighting something over and i had a scout on my other account, last system, i got lazy and didnt' scout, well i was ambushed on my freighter cuz i was dumb and didn't scout even though i had it there.
I jumped out of my freighter giving them a free freighter lol . . . i had what was coming to me.
You can see my sci-fi/WW2 book recommendations.
And then it begs the question "what is the point?" Why does he want to know? Ok great, some of us have engaged in pvp and in some cases unprovoked pvp. Now what?

I would, however, agree that murder is a bit of an extreme application in this scenario.
In that, there are some actions a player can take against another player in a PvP enabled environment that could classically be regarded as an act of murder, but within the mechanics and rules of the game does not constitute such.
And as others have noted, it's also the case that many games do have a voluntary barrier to entering PvP, so you have to intentionally put yourself into danger on many occasions.
I know I preferentially would not mind a more involved design around rules of engagement and a more involved "law" system that some games in the past have attempted. The kind of thing where, yes, you can do things, but if you can bring up a moral spectrum and most people would be chagrin to commit that same act in real life, then the game can flag characters for it in some manner.
Like ESO has a simple crime system that as it stands only applies to PvE, as PvP is quarantined off to PvP specific areas. If they opened up PvP to the game world, they could extend that crime system and perhaps improve on it.
The goal here would be to not remove or outright punish/devalue PvP in the game or open world environments, but establishing some conventions to enforce the same principles of "respecting people as people" which is something that sort of gets lost on the internet in general at times.
