Being a criminal is not easy. We want to discourage criminal players, but ofcourse it is a part of any world so players can be it if they want to. You will become a criminal if you do the following: Attack a guard Attack a player if the player is not in duel or is criminal Pickpocket someone and not being sucessful Cast a destructive spell at a guard Cast a destructive spell at a player if the player is not in duel or is criminal Once you become a criminal, you will be so for a certain duration depending on how serious it was. If you log on, and then log back in, the time will begin counting from the top again. Guards will attack all criminal at sight so stay away from guards. Also, players can kill criminal players without becoming criminals themselves, so criminal players can be a hot target for Player Killers. Also, when you become criminal, your reputation will go more severely down, but your underworld reputation will go up. Also, if you commit a crime when the time is not done, the new time will be added to your current time left before being flagged non-criminal.
