Hi,
Interesting idea indeed, but I must admit that this might take some fun out of the game. Sometimes I like to live dangerously, and even being hunted down by some raving lunatics can have its thrills. As for hardcore, this option would certainly be a good idea.
Unfortunately, if this is a one time option, you would never be able to get pk-able again. This may not seem like a bad thing, but what if your character reaches level 99 (or so) and wants to test his/her mettle against commensurate foes? Indeed a system like this could be implemented as something you could enable/disable on command, but might be exploited by malicious players. An interesting alternative would be a dialog that pops up while you are joining a game, asking if you come with intent of amity or enmity. This type of system could work well in that evil people would not be able to sneak up and pk you, unless you were pk-activated. If one wanted to "take a fight outside," they could simply rejoin the game under hostile accord. ;)
I'm sure all of this is quite possible, but alas, I am almost positive that it will never be implemented. :unsure:
