with the lack of consequences in the actual RP world, events having the risk of PK feels appropriate. i don't know the specifics of this instance, but people should expect consequences when tempting fate and playing around dangerous circumstances in rp (especially with warnings that you acknowledge you guys had). also, if someone's interest in the server hinges on keeping their old character or not, maybe a dynamic rp world isn't for them. unhealthy character attachment leads to bad rp and if anything, something like this should be a signal to turn a new leaf.
