Is anyone else excited with that? :)


Just imagine, there will be a zone where you can find and finally hunt down some jerk that insulted you or ninja'd the loot from the last boss. Or even a whole guild that booted you in a dungeoun.
Can't wait to see all of this happening. I just hope that zone won't be as small and time limited as GG PvP :P


P.S got a really long list lol

    Definitely. I'm excited to see what strategies people will cook up with this new zone, as an open area where predators of all sorts lurk will be pretty exciting. I think such an area will be a disadvantage for melees, though. Open areas with limited places to block vision is a ranged character's hunting ground.

    That will be an area in the new zone I won't be going to. There are enough jerks to deal with in this game without going to one that custom made for them.

    why would pve players care about a PVP campaign, as it seems its for pvp expressly,They have no reason as far as i can read to go there,

    .I can understand the GG clones that state pvp and pve.

    Never worked in any game? You have not played many games have you? Most of your FPS is only open PVP and that is all there is. Without it what would you do shoot a target dummy?

    Ultima Online had a great open world PVP system before they introduced candy land (Trammel). It was good guys versus bad guys all day long. The reds hunting the blues and vice versa. The blues where generally protectors of the noobs. While reds where solely PK for profit. They would kill you then loot you and leave you nude. Yet the same risk posed to them as well. They got killed and they lost everything. Nothing was protected everything they had on them was gone.

    To say it has never worked shows ignorance of games. To say it does not work in MOST MMORPG's I would see your point as in a lot of MMORPG's it does not work. Yet when you say games you include all genres and that includes FPS where all there is is Open Season PVP.

    I want to see how they will balance this zone.
    I imagine every instance to being hold for a guild...

    After some months that instances will turn into exclusive 'pve' zones...

    Or guilds may be using these Open World PVP Zones to host premade tournaments. With an open world it would be SO much easier to match up against the team you wish to face without going through the tediousness of random Q-ing for Domination. It doesn't have to be guilds vs. PUGs all the time right? I'm pretty sure the big PVP guilds wouldn't find that challenging, when there are better fights to be had.
