will there be servers with OPTIONAL pvp (carebear) server(s) in the INTL version?

screenie from optional pvp server



PW MY-Eng mod response (Leode)
What you saw is a PvE version of the game.

The current PW-MY-EN servers are considered full release servers. "Full Release" here meaning 'live' which is not the same as "fully upgraded" because the version number for PW-MY-EN is behind the servers in China. But we are catching up!

Cubinet Interactive does actually run a PvE Perfect World server in Thailand called Pixie (The PvP server is Manticore) but current numbers in Malaysia do not allow for a profitable PvE server as yet.

    certainly it would be tempting to LEVEL on., but when you get to a desired level you may wish the server had a bit more action

    F.E.A.R. has two meanings: Forget Everything And Run - OR - Face Everything And Rise. The choice is yours, my friend.

    Most likely the GMs will implement the pk safe mode feature. Since it's not in the MY version I will explain it. Before level 30 you are blue named and nobody can pk you. Well after 30 this feature lets you turn the blue name ON if you don't want to be pk or OFF if you want to pk. This feature can ONLY be used if you are white named.

    well like xauss said, once everybody gets to a certain level, and people don't want to get pk'd remain blue named ALL THE TIME, then wouldn't that be kinda...lame?

    PKing is not about asking the other's opinion if they wanted to be killed or not, it's the decision of the PK'er that they want to kill someone else. If you ask if they want to be PK'd that's just PVP, a duel. Sure it won't be someone kills someone, then they turn the function on, because that'd be a terrible idea, but if they see someone they don't particularly like say, another guild that has them KoS, because they KS'd or what not, then the other guild can't do anything and it's kind of unfair

    So you're referring to ganking people? This system works fine in all the other versions. Not that many people stay blue. I mean honestly if I'm in a zhen party I want a blue name so they can't disrupt the whole zhen party and waste my exp scroll/heiro. This game is not entirely pvp. If the system is implemented the pkers are just going to have to deal with it, after all, pk is not exactly smiled upon (red name + chance to drop equipment)

    An alternative to the PK protection mode is to allow a player to PK only players 2-3 levels below or with higher levels.

    I rather have a channel(not server) for PK lol.
    If you don't want to get killed or kill anyone then don't go there.

    Meh. I havent played any other versions. Im not worried about it. Generally games are all the same, and I have my build set up from the private server I was playing on.

    FFA has always failed, and continue to fail every time it is attempted. It always turned into a bunch of griefers killing low level noobs or easy kills. Till it gets nerfed then people cry and whine about how carebears stole yet another game.

    Unfortunately people can't handle freedom with online gaming, sad fact.

    Probably 2 (or more) servers, one FFA, one optional PK mode.

    that's exactly what non-PKers want and what PKers don't want, so we have endless discussions and flamewars on every MMO about this topic.

    The rules is very simple. There are two types of server, the pk available server and MM server

    The MM server you can duel but you can't pk at all

    The regular server, your name turn white when you reach 30. Then, anybody with a white name can pk. So, if you just reach 30, and you are outside the safe zone. People for example level 80 can kill you any time. The penalty is red name. Most of time people won't kill random, but sometimes they do. After all, that is point of pk. You can kill people anytime. If you don't want to get killed, get a better equipment or remember the killers' name and ask your friend to pk back, lol.
