I remember when I was playing and about a lvl 9 character, I saw a weapon that was described as a permanent-killing weapon. It would only do 1-2 damage.
Do these still exist in the game? and how would it 'permanently-kill' someone?
I find this intriguing, but wonder if it would push some players away from playing if they knew a risk of having your character deleted or some equivelant if hit by permanent-killing weapons.
