Also, I was killed then about an hour and a half later killed again and both time yeilded points to my killer. I thought it was ever 3 hours.
This only applies towards being killed by the same player. You can be killed by player A and lose a point to him, then immediately resurrect at the local healer & be killed again by player B, who would also get a point from you.
The rate of atrophy is pretty ridiculous in my opinion. I havent killed anyone in 2 days(havent seen anyone around) and have lost 4 points. There isnt enough people around to keep any type of point system up. I think this needs to be re-thought out a bit.
