PKK and PK[edit]

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)[reply]

I don't see why being related to Diablo precludes their being examples of the sense. --Ptcamn 09:07, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I believe the key word was all: if they're all related to the game Diablo, then they're probably not independent. —RuakhTALK 15:09, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
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)[reply]

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

  • Patricia M. Wallace. "The Psychology of the Internet". 2001. p94
    "Due to the fact that we have allied with the Anti-PK Unification ..."
