	Churchill defined a fanatic as "one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject." Considering that, it's no surprise that a self-proclaimed Diablo fanatic like Sirian replied to Max a third time, in even greater length.

−	There is always heated debate about how much, if at all, [[RPG]]s should support PKing. Almost no one argues against dueling, but whether the [[PvP]] combat should ever be non consensual is the big question. Most early RPGs allowed it, most modern ones do not. Players must select PvP upon character creation, or by the realm they play on, or by the game type they join, but in almost all cases it's possible to avoid PvP entirely, if a player so desires. [[World of WarCraft]] does not, and [[]]~~Diablo III~~ will not, allow non-consensual PvP.	+	There is always heated debate about how much, if at all, [[RPG]]s should support PKing.

 PKing is generally non-consensual, and often takes the form of sneak attacks, often performed with the aid of deception, cheats, or [[hack]]s.
 PKing was a major issue in [[Diablo II]], with passionate arguments on both sides of the issue. The D2 team thought it was worth including in the game (via the "hostile" button), but the ease with which hostility could be declared was limited in various post-release patches, which gave unsuspecting characters more time to flee or prepare themselves before a PK could swoop down upon them.

-PKing will not be a part of the game in Diablo 3, since the [[D3 Team]] has said there will not be non-consensual PvP. They have not yet released details on how PvP will be regulated, but it's widely assumed that it will only be allowed in special, "arena" type games. Many players hope for PvP ladders, rankings, and other bonus features to facilitate duelling, but the D3 Team has been entirely mum on those issues.

-Player Killing refers to non-consensual [[PvP]], usually in the form of an ambush by the PK (Player Killer).  There will not be any support for PKing in Diablo III, since all PvP is going to require player consent. How exactly this will work has not yet been determined, or at least not related publicly.

-It's widely hoped that Diablo III will feature more robust support for PvP, with features such as PvP [[ladder]]s and [[arena]] games. The [[D3 Team]] has not yet confirmed any such features.
