The penalty side of the system is actually inspired by a different MMO, called Cabal Online. The more people you PK'd, the redder your name got, and the longer you'd be stuck as a target for anyone and everyone if you left town.
They'd be reduced every time you died, but you'd also lose a ton of XP if you ever died under penalty, and you could even *de-level.* It was rough. And if you got all the way up to the maximum degree of penalty, you could even be sent to a Jail dungeon, which was a huge labyrinth you'd have to find your way out of, or else have to wait hours just to get back into the game.
But, well, in his case, he just gets to camp out with a slightly goofy goober and hope the food isn't poisonous. :P
