Player Versuses Player (PvP) Server

[Sillystring]

I had seen before a great idea, from Wiz. I can't find that post but it was a brillient idea of his.

Is there any way you will actually make a PvP server despite the constant flaming of people who say its horribly un-balanced. Im sure there is a way to fix things -- in which takes time;obviously. (crashes i mean)

reply back, just wondering if PvP server was a no-go, or still in development.

~thanks

Wiz has some interesting plans for the PvP zone that you can access off of Haven of Lore. I believe those are what your are refering too.

I dont think a pvp server would be good idea for many reasons, most of all it would take development away from WR PvE, which is the bread and butter and why were all here.

I like PvP, I always have. I'm not sure if there's really an audience for it on WR though. The only way I could imagine it being implemented would be if Wiz turned a high-traffic zone ( Centaur Hills, for example ) and made it a PvP zone. As of now, slaughter isle only really serves for GM events and the like; no real PvP action goes down there.

I'm content with no PvP though, which is how it will probably stay anyway.

He was talking about a PVP ZONE, not a server.

I can see certain PvP in certain zones happening. But as for full PvP...might ruin a good thing and create alot of tension/hatred between people since you can easily recognize names with WR's player base. I personally only like planned duels myself. I've never played an actual PvP server before, only RPed PvP from NWN, which I enjoyed because there was a ready to attack someone.

If my opinion matters, I would say only arenas and a few certain zones should be PvP enabled. That way we won't ruin WR's friendly comunity.

Hey a fellow NWNer

I agree with the PvP view you have. In specific zones sure, but don't affect everyone else's gaming with potentially unwanted PvP. Server is great. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Except the random lag stuff...and group zoning bug... and...well you know.

This is offtopic a little, but DAoC and another popular EQEmu server that I can't remember uses team based PVP for that reason. I think Wiz already mentioned there is plans for that for the zone in this thread:

Personally I'd really like to see some changes in the department of pvp, I think if we we're to make just a pvp zone could we at least have more GM events to it, and maybe like a PVP title for someone whos the "champ." You could have pvp by classes, and just all round pvp all vs all like have 30 ppl at once attack everyone last man standing type of event.? I think theres just a lot of cool things you guys can develop regarding pvp.

I think the EQemu server you are talking about is GuildWars. They have since been shut down. Guild Wars never worked; it was something that required a large amount of people to be interesting.

I can't remember where I heard this, but I was told that the PvP system would be based off of our character's religion. This is a very good idea imho.
