To encourage friendly PvP and help when people are killed by mistake, I think a /apologise function should be put into the game. This would allow people not to worry about being a murderer in friendly pvp, and also help those who kill others by accident... Just an idea, leave your thoughts please =]

Personally I'd skip this...
I mean how do you kill someone "by accident" lol.
As for the "friendly PvP" fero already mentioned that they were looking at putting in a "safe" arena for people to "hone their skills" in.
Which I think is a much better idea overall than a "oops" command lol.

How do you kill someone by accident? Flame wave, mana burst, spells that affect a large area can all do it... Ask SharkAt it happened to him earlier, hitting tab and selecting a player by mistake... it can happen... as for an arena, surely it would be a nice extra to have friendly pvp anywhere, rather than having to run to an arena purely for that purpose... when you could be cammping a boss or something like that...

Actually, I'd prefer to have an arena myself.
It's just like the idea of the "Cell Phone" ... If I am out and about, I don't want to be talking on the phone, I'd much rather do that at home and leave my time when I am out of the house for the stuff that I do out of the house.
As for "Accidental" Kills - if your safety is on - it's quite impossible to accidentally kill someone, unless of course your red, in which case simply party the person.

you are right.
If you do some friendly pvp nowdays u might forget to put safety back on and it can happen.
And yes i do think an /apologize should be done , or at least something like that

If ur status is white and guilded :-
1. Go to Options on the game login screen.
2. Go to Gameplay and check the box saying "PvP Safety"
3. Have fun flame wave / mana burst or anything at all.
4. Want to turn red? type /safety off in the game.
Simple. And those who are murderer status (red), after being pardoned, make sure u restart the client and do the same thing again to prevent urself from being orange/red because typing /safety on in the game is sort of bugged which i have noticed it thus far.
And honestly if u say "geez i forget to turn on safety" is no1 else fault than yours. If every safety is given priviledge in the game, where is the fun of "dang i forgot my safety, i need to die before turning red" or "dammit im so dumb of myself being red now just because i forgot to turn on safety".
Think about it.

Still it happens, and would it not be easier to give someone the choice of whether or not to punish the people who kill them?, and give friendly pvp a chance too =]?, I was afk and someone trying to save me killed me... I'dve liked to make them white again... =[

Not really.
Friendly pvp is something that the admins are already working on (some sort of arena, whereby im guessing u can pvp as many times as u want, ur status wont change at all)
If your white, you go afk in the open, with the current penalties given, i dont think no1 will bother to kill unless they are already red. (Still not encourageable staying afk in the open)
If your red, you go afk in the open, its no one else's fault other than yours, cuz thts really something dumb to do. Like it or not, thats why there are GY's and safe zones. Go AFK there.
All that your recommending, is furthermore to ruin the remaining bits of pvp fun that is left. Don't think thts something i will agree on.

My idea is not frienly pvp at an arena, I mean just in world... reason being, camping bosses etc, can be boring, so pvping in the meantime is a good way to pass the time =]... I felt an arena would be for more purposeful pvp games and competitions more than just a 1 v 1 which everyone used to be able to do everywhere just fine...
