PvP Etiquette ?

[Lhtalon]

Hey all, new player on Project99. Have not played EQ in over a dozen years and just downloaded everything and decided to try red for something different. I played PvE back on live and figured this would be a nice change of pace and I've always enjoyed PvP. Great fun so far.

To make a long story short, I killed a guy while he was engaged with a mob. I'm only level 8 so this was my first PvP fight, just wanted see what it was like. He had over 80% health when the fight began so it's not like he was almost dead.

Anyway, killed him and afterwards I tried helping him when he came back to loot his corpse (pulled a mob off him) but he attacked, I had under 20 heath and was bound pretty far away (to be honest couldn't even remember how to get back to the zone) so I ran from him and didn't want to fight.

I realize running is bit of a pussy move but being new I didn't relish a super long corpse run and like I said I didn't even remember how to get back to the zone if I was to die. Surprised to see someone get so angry over PvP on a PvP server. He lost his marbles and was super pissed. Did I break any codes of etiquette here but ganking and then running?

Cheers
