Recently returned, Can ironman be removed?

Post by Adept aura » Wed Mar 10, 2021 5:04 pm

I have recently returned to PKhonor, i originally made an iron man account and just want to play a normal account now. Is there anyway i can get ironman removed or will i need to make a new account?

Many Thanks

U'll have to make a new account! An ironman status can not be removed.

Welcome back and goodluck!

And risk punishment for abusing the game mechanics.

Oh sorry, I thought it was legal since one of our YouTubers does it

I'm not sure why people would assume that. It's clearly using a trick to bypass a game restriction. The only reason irons drop wealth in PvP is because it would be unfair to PK'ers if they always got nothing for PK'ing an ironman. If transferring wealth off of an iron was meant to be a thing then you wouldn't need to resort to such a workaround to do it. It would just be supported, like transferring credits to an ironman is, or we would make it possible to convert an ironman to a regular account.

Doing this is exactly the same as using alts to complete PvP achievements or farm CW tickets. Yes, it's possible, but that doesn't mean it's allowed.

I wouldn't exactly call it a trick but okay.

Also, I don't think the community is aware that this is rule breaking, mmost people I know that have played irons got bored of then and xfered the wealth back to their main accounts. Maybe this should be made clear instead of one of those bendy line in the sand kinda rules

Sounds like a @Ryan thing... but I also wouldn't be surprised if it takes some time cause it's probably gonna require some discussion...

Evidently not.

I'm pretty sure there's only one solution here: just make it impossible.
