Personally, I like the way pkilling is handled on Threshold. In it,
pkilling is technically allowed (except killing of newbies/lowbies which
is forbidden), but doing so is in most cases considered murder and if
caught, the killer will be prosecuted by the game's in-character justice
system, with various possible penalties.
