PvP server?

[Anarion]

Howdy folks... been away for a while but I heard a rumor there was a pvp server in alpha testing. I tried to search the forums for "pvp" but it didn't have enough characters. Can anybody point me to any threads about this? Thanks!

There is no PVP server, neither existant nor planned.

The rumor may be due to the fact there are sometimes two servers listed when you log in. However, the second server is simply a staff server they use to test things out before putting them on the game server, IIRC.

Every time a PvP server has been suggested, Wiz basically said the population didn't justify a second server. The population hasn't moved much in a year, so I doubt that has changed.

Nice try ! it has to come back from time to time. Unless it becomes diaf bannable offense

Please forgive me if this post be out of place syduckperhaps suggestions section), but i couldn't help but get an idea as i read this post. I am aware a PVP server is out of the question (no problem there). But is it possible to have certain zones marked PvP? For instance, there could be a sort of "frontier" (maybe Kunark) where players could engage is less lawful activities against one another and even work at defending/expanding their NPC factions; could make for some interesting moments between the Silver Crown Trading Company and the Order of the Blackscale.

SoD is not nearly balanced enough, nor does it have the players to justify all the work it would take to create such a place.

If you want to pvp, find a Priest of War and get pvp flagged.

you can always flag your character for pvp and pvp with others who are also flagged.

It's really funny - this was my plan when I first started playing {game]. I had read somewhere that that actually happened on regular servers. I think I saw one person with a red name in two years on a regular server. Then I moved to a Zek.

Thanks for the replies. I think the best way to reconcile PvP and PvE is to have a guild war system that works. For example, if guild leaders could create a guild war among two or more guilds with flexible options. For example, three guilds could create a guild war among only the level 30-40 members of their guilds. Or each guild could have a roster of 10 participants for the guild war, max level 50. I'm sure this would take a ton of coding, it's just a thought. Thanks again for answering my question!
