    I will now try flagging for pvp all the time, I like the idea of that bonus.

    Time to work on my Sub skills!

    Anyone else going to flag for pvp more often?

    but why are you doing it, is it just because you get more exp or are oyu going to PvP?

    Two very different reasons one is for the exp the other is to actually PvP?

    No, I won't flag for PvP because of an XP bonus.

    There are things that would get me into PvP, but min/max bonuses aren't one of them.

    Both, I would like the extra exp but having to keep a close eye out for other pvp flagged people that might attack is exciting!
    I didn't want to flag pvp when my character was at a low level but now I feel "ready"

    I will, but it is purely for the XP bonus. I will never willingly engage in pvp combat. I run into 0 (read ZERO) people when and where I play. To boot, I only use pledge gear (even moreso now considering the coming repair costs of non-pledge gear). If I get PK'ed there will be some very disappointed jerks who wanted to ruin my game time. I guess, in the end, I'll still gain a 25% bonus and not have to risk losing much - if anything. :p

    Can people still flag anywhere anytime?

    Do you get the bonus if playing multiplayer in a solo/party zone?

    Literally NOTHING could ever bring me to do PvP.
    The only thing this whole focus on PvP with open PvP zones and a bonus is achieving with me is that I get to hate MMO mode.

    I'll be there! See you on the mmo side! I'm interested in more random pvp activity, this will bring it!

    The 25% xp is nice, but I'm sure it won't make me more XP than if I play single or friends, so it is a welcome handout to supplement the xp losses (time spent, and no xp gain) you experience engaging in PVP combat.

    Me, I'll be flagging because it's looking like the multiplayer world is about to get busy! I can't wait - bring on R36!

    Awesomely said.

    I don't really look at it as a "bonus" so much as eliminating a disincentive and removing one reason it's costly to pvp. Now you don't have to pick between leveling and pvp because you can multitask. Most times I've flagged in the past, I didn't run into anyone else.

    Now I am looking forward to the thrill of not knowing when or where I might get engaged. Pvp makes my heart beat super fast.

    No. They could double exp and I would not flag but I would be complaining loudly about mandatory PVP.

    This is going to bring some sheep for the wolves to kill. This isn't going to add more wolves because they are the ones already flagged. If you like killing random people without a fight this is a good idea. Those random people, the first time they are farming ore get killed and the killer follows them back to the ankh to do it again they'll be back in single player. The risk of a ruined game session is far too likely to expose myself to the PVP community.

    You want people in PVP? Make it fun. Don't make it required for efficient leveling.

    Not a chance in (insert appropriate word here). Sorry - but I have no desire to play PVP and no enticements will bring me over.

    Where is this place with flagged pvpers? I want in, everyone right now is sitting in SPO or FO grinding exp because pvp and MPO are all risk and no benefit. This is a step toward finding a way to even it out and make less detrimental. This by no way requires everyone to flag and play in MPO to keep up, you still have an advantage in the other modes with this change. Maybe with the proposed changes to R37 that will not be the case and it will be more even but we also have to see how they adjust this bonus then as this is an experiment and port has already talked about ideas of how it may evolve. I like the idea of there being a smaller bonus for being in MPO and another layered on it for flagging for PVP to better balance both modes against SPO And FO.
