Template:Definition:Corruption score

Corruption score (corruption value) tracks the aggregate amount of player corruption a character has accumulated due to the PvP flagging system.

• A player’s corruption score increases with each non-combatant player killed. The wider the level disparity between the players, and the higher the attacker's PK value, the more corruption they gain.
• Corruption score has a scaling impact on the efficacy of a character's skills in PvP combat. The higher the corruption score, the more corruption penalties are gained.
• Dying removes a significant portion of a player's corruption score.
• A quest may be utilized to reduce the player kill (PK) count of a corrupt player in order for them to accumulate less corruption score in the future.
