This is the second time I have heard about this happening... The staff will not stand for this, and will ban the offenders

Talk about going in guns blazing

Yeah staff would more than likely look into it but can't see anyone getting banned over it, Oh well.
If that is what happened... Anyways

Learn Hiding.
Every time you go AFK, no matter for how long, put your character into Hiding mode.

When I started on the shard and didn't have a house, I macroed in out-of-the-way places, especially with skills that made noise. For example, Nujel'm or any of several low-traffic cities, but away from the bank. I think it's a good policy. But yeah, train hiding first.

Well, some things you can, though hiding has been nerfed over the years, and quite a few skills reveal you now. For the stuff you can't do while hidden, go to a room at an inn or somewhere remote in a guard zone where you won't be bothered. Most people get a house within a couple weeks, and that's usually where you train AFK.
As for getting killed in Brit, that was kind of a fluke, I think, but best to avoid busy areas if you're making a racket.

this is the 2nd time i heard about this. i can't believe they wouldn't jail the person wait for that person to lie then ban him. i can't believe a player would join a no pk shard then do something like this. makes not sense.

Yea I agree, it is speculation as of now but that does seem like a likely culprit. I would have to agree with Tael which is what I did as well. You pick a very secluded and private spot and have at it. Empty towns, friends house, etc. Be cautious where you choose to go unattended. For example the docks used to be a good place until sea monsters came through and killed the townsfolk. Being in a guard zone doesnt make you invincible, it only makes you less likely to die. Whether you are new or old to the server that is mucho unfortunate, sorry to hear that, but glad you only lost an instrument.

It probably was an aggressive animal that did the deed, but pets do go wild by accident as well. It's not certain that this was intentional. Hard to say.

yeah i guess an aggressive pet (nightmares/dragons) can go wild if not fed. ah well.
