Heya all, I've been thinking about rerolling and playing LC for the PvP fun and whatnot. Seeing as how 90% of the PWI forums is general QQ about anni packs and cash shoppers with insane gear, I wanted to ask a few questions about LC. First, is the PvP still strong? Are there pk fests to get into all the time? Second, I acknowledge that there are cash shoppers with ridiculously powerful gear (+12 rank 8 or something), are these players a good majority of players on LC or is that just some small minority that gets in the way sometimes? I don't want to be a punching bag if I don't get to fight back some too b:laugh.

Thanks everyone in advance, and please, be honest. As a side note, TW isn't a vital thing for me, I love it but I don't see me getting into a TW guild for a good long while lol.

    PvP in LC occurs more often then any other server but between people at lvl80+ so you will need to level to that to have a little taste of good pvp fests and since most people prefer to do group pvp at lvls 8x and 9x Im sure you wont have major problems in pk, just try not to be a solo pker.

    The PK on LC consists of 8jun +12 and those who cannot afford it picking flowers to sell until they can afford it. Nothing else.

    you can generalize your statement into

    the pk on pwi revolves around heavily cash influenced gear versus any pseudo-skill component

    but who is anyone to complain, perfect world was meant as an escape, they never advertised hardcore pvp balance.

    step into a perfect world~
    I don't know if anything that I say is standard human nature. or if it matches up perfectly with some pathetic subculture. or that it fits the psychological profile of someone in need of this specific form of something.

    If you're pro and have more than 1 computer you will survive. That is all. But since RisingTide has been open for quite sometime and you should have reached 9x by now I don't believe any of these apply to you.

    rolling here would be a very bad idea. ijs tbh imo

    it definately isn't wtf pk all the time but i did play harshlands enough to probably have the best judgment out of everyone and I can easily say all aspects of lost city is better. tw, pvp, rpk, pprrkpk, rrpk7k and even pve is better.

    On topic: may the force be with ya little lad, but do not QQ when you get ganked by 12 people having +12 on all their equipment, fairness is not how we roll yo b:scorn
    "It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause, who at best knows achievement and who at the worst if he fails at least fails while daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."

    ''between certain people'' thats only for those guilds which arent rpk and kill only theirs kos..but LC got alot of rpk guilds,so its not always between same players.i know people dont like rpk guilds as much,but being in one is actually most fun cuz half of server kos u..but i guess its not so fun on lower lvl lol
