Criminal

Criminals (or grays) are characters who have recently broken the law. They may be freely attacked in guard zones, and their corpses looted by all.

Becoming a Criminal

Blue characters who break the law (regardless of whether they are in a Guard Zone at the time) change in status to gray. Such illegal activities include:

• Stealing from a NPC or player (assuming you're caught!).
• Healing or otherwise buffing a gray or red character.
• Attacking and/or killing another blue character.
• Looting a corpse you do not have the rights to.
• Casting the Polymorph spell.

After a few of minutes without performing illegal actions you will return to the status of an Innocent.

Restrictions

As a criminal, you are penalised in similar ways as a Murderer.

• Cannot call the guards to your defense.
• Cannot recall, gate, or sacred journey.
• Cannot give Murder Counts to those who attack you.
• Anyone may legally loot your corpse.
• There is no Karma or status penalty for harming/killing/robbing a criminal.

Many of these penalties are redundant unless your character is in Felucca, as you may only rob/harm other characters there.
