BatMUD has rules that player killing is allowed but mass
murdering is not. Reasons behind the rule is that we do not
want a high level player ruin other's game, but still allow
player kills from "natural reasons" (eg. fumbling a spell). We
also think that player killing is part of roleplaying (while
you cannot exactly call BatMUD as roleplaying mud), thus one
can register oneself as player killer and get small advantages
from it.
Because players do not loose much when they die, it seems that
there are player killing is not the way players tend to punish
other players. Most common way to ruin game of another player
is to summon him/her to an area with difficult monsters or
otherwise into a bad location.
Anyway we do not even try to enforce strict no player killing
rule, we are just trying to limit the bad side effects to
minimal. It's upto other players to create a powerful party to
punish player killers, thieves and other such players. But as
I said, player killing is not what is mostly used among the
players.
