Until new GFX are made for making it alert who is shooting people with a bow are made, for the time being perhaps it would be an idea to stop people with bows and arrows from attackin players, so nobody can snipe you dead without you knowing but you can still kill monsters. I feel this would prevent the pking of many of the good honest people of Illarion until the annonomous (if i spelt that right) are known to be snipers when we get the new GFX.

This would just take away the roles of the roleplaying archers and make them not able to defend themselves.  Plus, there are many other ways to PK besides archery, and you can't possibly get rid of all them.  Until new GFX, wear shields.
