The benefits would be great. Make it free for the first month, then charge 5 bucks per months per person. Double xp, upon death you get reset to level 1. Old world only, no LDON, max lvl 50. Level 6 and upward your pvp flag gets turned on.
 
personly i dont fell that SoD is large enugh to support 2 servers spliting the comunity up could kill sod wouldnt be enugh groups on eather server to do anything.



not that there isnt room for pvp but not another server. maby with some l33t wiz codeing he could setup traveling zones as a pvp area. and it wouldnt be as strict as what you suggect but probly be enugh to satisfy pvpers.

rules would be things like.
food,drink,bandages,regiments any armor that isnt taged with Nodrop can be looted in these areas.
must be within a 10 level range and a 30pvp kills range

something like that anyways
 
It'd cost alot to buy and maintain another server, and I doubt it'd end up cost effective. One feature that I've always felt was underrated was the guild warring system. I would love to be in a guild war. Any sort of changes that'd add more pvp would be awesome. I'd bet somewhere down the road when enough people have done both good and evil mq there'll be some sort of pvp implemented based on that, and that'd be awesome too. Keep up the good work with whatever you guys are working on pvp or not.
 
another idea would be to create an instanced type situation like LDON that both players get to by queuing up at an npc at a LDON-like camp. it would be like 6 vs 6 group combat per instance. Outdoors would probably be easier but as it progresed you could do dungeon instances, water instances, etc. Group of the last people standing wins, no CTF or w/e to confuse the coding . it would be simple to do, and loads of fun. Imagine the late nights PVPing in matches with your friends. You could fight your guild, and other guilds. it'd be great!!! :) and the other guy made a point touching on gettin sued, I didn't take that into consideration. Maybe it would be more appropriate to setup a 'donation circle' where people knew they had to pitch in to access the pvp servers. nothing public. have a msg come up serverwide or something.
 
Guys there is no reason for SOD to have a pvp server.

The money isnt there, the players arent there, the code isnt there, and the support isnt there.

The amount of time and energy it would take for a pvp server to be coded and implemented, not to mention doubling server costs, makes it almost impossible. Fir this to work, the dev team would have to stop working on SOD, which is a work in progress, and start working on a PVP server, effectively ending new content for SOD for quite a bit of time, which would kill the game.

So, in summary, 99.99999% not happening for a long time.
 
actually i found out about sod because of a post here regarding pvp servers from a former RZ player who told me, and i came here in anticipation of pvp satisfaction

i think ive almost been converted to a bluebee, but i am a pvper @ heart for life

it appears to me that once alot of sod players hit that 50-60 range they either become hardcore engulfed or become relatively inactive ( obviously this isnt everybody)

i would love a pvp server and i think this will keep the 60+ from becoming inactive

yes, it would hurt the blue server sod population for sure

personally, i would probably split up my time 50/50 between sod-blue server and sod-pvp server

the only time i ever get to pvp (ive been pvp enabled from lvl 1+ ) is in newport from karigan or vissy messing around with me, I did get to settle 1 dispute with pvp but the mage sucked so it wasnt a challenge lol ( a cleric murdering a mage... do the math )

anyways, just my 2cents, but now you can proceed to sent me your hatred for having an opinion =p hehe

We're not done messing with the PvP system yet. No explanations until then, it's formally in testing.
