From HELP EDGEPOINT SPECIFICS:


5. Things that DO NOT COUNT toward edgepoints:

- Skill and Quest Experience.
- Number of quests completed.
- PK


That means nothing related directly to PK (PKs per level, total PKs, solo PKs, etc.) yields EPs.

Costs weren't changed, correct. I don't imagine it's going to have much impact at all for most players and most characters, and the ones it would impact are typically characters that either A) are already earning lots of EPs elsewhere or B) characters that, with regards to edges, I don't give two ####s about.

Rewarding PK achievement, particularly with something that itself makes one more effective in PK, turned out to be something that wasn't really in the best interest of the game (in my opinion). Chalk it up to being one of those "this is why we can't have nice things" situations.

>Thanks again for all you do.

You're welcome.
