I never PKed someone yet, and I try to play cooperative most of the
time, but I also have bad days and may have annoyed some people.

Well, I don't mind. Shall they be happy.
But I think you are wrong, now that I think of it, I found my own ear
near my dead body. So he left it, as he left all my stuff including my
gold ... he had promised not to take anything, but who believes in
promises of someone who asks if he may kill you?

Lucky you, that you said blizzard! I met a fire sorc who killed for the
same reason. If I meet her again, she'll be my first PK. I've now got a
character who should be competitive - I mean a lvl 84 sorc against a lvl
50 assassin was not really a fair start for a duel.
Did you consider asking them for gold?
That sorc also claimed to kill for gold. After she had killed me, and
some others, I asked why she was killing, and she said it was for the
gold. So I went to my stash and gave her some gold ... funnily she left
the game after that and didn't bother us further.
Gold is so easy to get, and pretty worthless because the interesting
things can't be bought anyways, so I don't understand why someone kills
for gold?

It seems some people take things way too seriously. This is a game, and
IMO players should rather work together than against each other.
If someone wants to test his character and see how his attacks works
against my character, he can tell me and we can try it. (I might refuse
this in hell games, if I'm close to a level, because the experience loss
annoys me).
IMO we are given language in order to talk to each other. There is
almost no problem that can't be solved by talking and a tiny bit of good
will.

What kind of information do you get? In softcore, you can't loot the
bodies, so you see nothing?
And even then, why don't you just ask if you want to know something?
Might be easier and more convenient for both parties than killing
someone and creating an new enemy who might seek revenge.
