Right, but removing pk edges was not done to reduce edge points per se. It was done to stop multikilling (eg stomp the same newb once per day) and to address heightened level sitting (because the latter was making it even worse to get groups).

So restoring it would need to avoid reintroducing or exacerbating these issues.

You can, of course, get pk edge points by dying a lot in pk. ;). I keep reminding myself of that as I mud by phone and my consequent pk losses accumulate. ;). The double whammy being that you are less likely to get imm experience when your contribution to the pk side of the game is trying to avoid fighting (because it is frigging hard to perform a skill on a tiny keyboard) and getting your butt whipped each time you fail to avoid the fight. Of course, the one time I was about to miraculously kill someone, an ally of theirs saved them.

Don't get me wrong, I liked edge points for ok. I just recognise that taking them out was done for a reason.

I don't like the overall reduction in edge points though, especially as we were told that imm exp would increase when in fact it decreased. And if you are not religious in the game you make it much harder to interact with imms, which seems to be the main way to get imm exp.
