The battle was inevidable to try to get a head start of the opposing faction's temple.
No battle is inevitable.
Going along with it for some cheap, compensatory kill is cheap.

The wider RP view is that these peoples have lived in peace for years, that they had to unite (kami, karavan and tryton too) to defeat the kitin and that the various leaders and peoples are intermingled through treaties and friendships so much that this sudden fanaticism makes no sense.

Spoilt it for me.
you couldn't before either, or are tribes no homins? or the cutthroats? write "killing other players" if you must, but don't even attempt to try and hide that underneath any kind of RP.

Agreed. Those of us just coming back with our very low levels don't stand a chance!

Basically one hit kills whether it be from a Kitin or a fellow Homin.

Personally I'd have made concentric rings of kitin over a larger area, protecting mats of the different levels, matching the Kincher with the material level.

I see it is as switch and bait. There is, almost, nothing for the neutral to do but roleplay (or as someone said, shout in region chat for peace).

The bait: New content, new rewards, new skills (?).
The switch: *muahaha* Taste PvP you filthy neutral *blam* *blam* *blam*

Hehehehe. Too true. Where's the nov-PvP content we were promised? Where's the 'I will not kill homin, so please do not kill me' flag?

I was only there for the Kitin, that's why I left. :(
