Reskilling

From AEWiki

Reskilling is a contraction of 'Respawn Killing'.

On Heroes, the PvP server, this is the practice of waiting by a spawn gate for a player to respawn, in order to kill of PK him immediately.

Reskilling can also occur if, for example a good player appears at a chaos spawn, or vice versa.

Scarab Island is an example. If you wandered too nea rthe teleport to the Island and you were good, the Dark Guards would attack you and kill you. You would then respawn o nthe island itself, and there was only three ways off-

1. Go through the teleport at the east end of the Island. this waould be the inexperienced palyers option, not being aware of the other two options 2. Go through the Cave that leads to Varg Cave Comples, the entrance being at the South West end of the island. 3. Allow your self to be killed by a monster, once you have decriminalised, and you will respawn at your last marked respawn point as normal, but of course take equiment damage.

The problem with option 1 is reskilling, as described. As soon as you appear on the teleport the other side, the guards kill you, and you respawn back on the island.

At the time of writing, the Guards have been temporarily removed from the teleport to avoid this problem.

Option 2 has a problem for low level players, since the island is populated with Liches and Ettins, and its difficult to explore without getting killed, and if you are killed whilst criminal the Guards at the good teleport will reskill you and you'll go to Jail.

A difficult place to get off if you are good and inexperienced.
