KoS (Kill on Sight) is a feature used by deed owners to keep criminals and other people off of their land. When a person is placed on KoS, the guards of the deed attack the person if he attempts to enter the deed. Kill on Sight also denotes when a player should be attacked when sighted, regardless of the circumstances. This is usually reserved reserved for known spies, thieves and people the deed owners generally don't like.

KoS is accessed at on the deed item or at the token on "Manage Reputations". In order to gain the effect of KoS, a person's name must have a reputation below -30, set to permanent. KoS can also occur automatically when someone violates the laws of the settlement on the Wild Server, or attacks the guards on a settlement on either server. KoS is a drastic way to keep people away, and should not be used to block roads or exclude everyone from an area on the Freedom Server. It is considered to be in bad taste to KoS without reason, and can be devestating for anyone who wanders on deed and is killed without reason. Using the guards to ambush people to steal their items on the Freedom Server constitutes griefing.
