This raises a whole set of other questions concerning what is considered a “kill”. Depending on these mechanics you could have players tricking or exploiting other players into become murders and then killing them with out getting the criminal debuff.

On role playing this could take a whole new meaning, to play bad and good factions, where as the bad factions would actually have to get out and constantly pvp to keep their murder rating up, and good players would be out looking to “bounty hunt”.

All together I think it will add a great dynamic to the game.

I just see no real reason here behind this function. “Spammers” you might say. Well, if its not in already, prevent trial memberships from sending mail. Give the players the tools to fight back this crap by adding report functions that are easier to use, not a “please send an email to blackhole@funcom.com”.
