PKK and PK

English sense, def. given is Player Killer Killer. Has some web hits, but all seem related to the game Diablo. sewnmouthsecret 17:47, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

I don't see why being related to Diablo precludes their being examples of the sense. --Ptcamn 09:07, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

I believe the key word was all: if they're all related to the game Diablo, then they're probably not independent. —Ruakh_TALK 15:09, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

It is a pretty common term in the computer RPG world, especially PK.

I see hits for Ultima:

Asheron's Call

also both Diablo and Diablo II, as well as one hit for Sega Dreamcast which isn't a multiplayer platform. Also having played RPGs growing up I can attest that it is in widespread use. - [The]DaveRoss 17:19, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Used all over the place in MUD games. If you search bgc for "pk mud kill" you can even find a couple printed cites.

  "But i went on a few no pk muds recently and it was constant harassment."

  "Due to the fact that we have allied with the Anti-PK Unification ..."
