2 servers 2 choices

There are ummm... other games you could play, right? Like some full loot PVP games or "dual world" games that'd make you happier?

 

Wow, much bias in the poll option there bud.

 

What about a server for Europe.

 

If you don't want to PvP don't flag simple. As the game sits right now the only PvP is dueling anyways. We have no idea what it will become just yet. Too far away from launch to tell.

But No. There technically already is. Single player story mode then you can choose to jump into the multiplayer world with everyone else. There are no quests for EXP like a normal MMO it's skilled based so splitting the shards would be horrible.

 

I didn't vote.

 

You really don't get it do you.

Yes there are problems with PvP right now....but those problems have nothing to do with things like looting rights. The issues are within the combat balance itself including flagging timers.

PvP will always be consensual .... it doesn't matter if there is another server that is 'dedicated'.........a player would give consent by just logging in there as apposed to just stepping into a zone or flagging themselves.

All a separate server would achieve would be splitting the population and would still result in the majority of PvPers staying on the standard server with their friends. History has already shown that these kind of splits do absolutely nothing for a game other than damage it.

 

I would love to have a PVP only server, each player has an account with 2 or more slots, One could be PVP in the PVP only realm, and the other could be PVE in the PVE only realm, each of the 2 could not play the other realm, once you put a character in the realm he/she is only in that realm. That seems simple. Then all would be happy from both sides.

Each Realm could have their own economy however they do it. That solves the economy issue for either side.

As far as "other" games out there for PVP, there are also OTHER games out there for PVE as well! Just saying it goes both ways. So that is a weak response.

If your going to cater to all, give all something, not just one or the other!

(here we go! Beating a dead horse again!) I can only hope PVP will get better! "fingers crossed" If not there is always Crowfall.

 

+1 PvP Server

 

Same here. It is a biased poll and neither are valid choices.

 

Wrong.
I have two PoTs. One PvE and one PvP.
I would never play on two servers or on a PvP only server.

 

Everyone has different opinions on it. There is no wrong or right, its what you personally would enjoy, so enjoy your two towns. I would be much happier on a server dedicated to PVP only and not worry about having to travel to certain towns!

 

PVE still better and the people value eating faction need more servers, some will bring pancakes.

 

One of the main selling points of this game for me was the
One game - one shard
concept behind Selective Multiplayer and Affinity Scene Sorting.

It means that someone like me who enjoys all the aspects but at different times.
Can enjoy a combat run with my PvP buddies one day, Then switch and do a dungeon crawl with my PvE buddies the next day. Or if I just want to engage in the main story without others to interfere I can switch to single player.

With the same avatar in the same world.

That gives me a whole lot of freedom and encourages a diversity of gamers.
Freedom and diversity that people like the OP wants to take away from me...

 

Now you've sparked my interest. Would you please explain what the 'current PvP thinking' is?

I've seen this change so much and so fast over the past year(s), I doubt that even Chris/DS/LB could claim they'd know the current plans for PvP. Not that the current plan would have a real solid meaning anyway. We all knew the current plan for skill gain a couple of month ago and now,... now we have use based skill gain.

 

Oh no, please, not two servers (or more). I want a maximum people on a single one. On UO, Feluca was a bad thing. Don't do it on SOTA.

I like PVP, more than PVE. The compromise is to avoid the full loot to satisfy the maximum of players.

 

You and who else?

Again, I understand that you are privy of the details of the actual pvp thinking is.

My question was based on your reference to "future plans". You know them too? Care to share them? Thank you in advance.

 

Um, Felucca was first and in my (and many other people's) opinion, Trammel (introduced later) was the "bad thing".

 

In the context of SotA the decision over choice happened during kickstarter and that choice won't be removed now. Separate servers is still a choice but would initially split some of the population (bad thing), the PvP server would fail after a while due to lack of population/density...............money will have been wasted.

EDIT:
And all of that before you even consider the economic issues.

 

I'm kind of curious as I'm not deeply into MMOs, what are the ones that are PvE only? I do read a lot of Kickstarter proposals, all of the MMO ones I've read want to do PvP.

 

What I wanted to say is that there should be only one facet, as in the beginning of UO. And yes, more precisely, Felucca existed before Trammel, and in my opinion Trammel has ruined UO.
