Actually, this does change your rank of evil/good alignment. I had to find this out the hard way after spending the last month trying to get to good alignment. There is a ranking system in the game, & it seems I was a very, very naughty ninja in the beginning when I started playing. I check on my rank every day & I notice my evil rank does change, getting me closer to good. Basically if you are evil & you kill someone with a higher evil ranking than you, it will make you good. I cannot tell you where to go to see this list, but I assure you - it is in the game.... I hope I don't get in trouble for this tip...
