I was wondering how it works over on the pvps erver lost city?
Is it that we can be killed at anytime anywhere even in town?
Is it that when we pk in lost city we get no pk penalties?
Basically what is the difference between the pvp server and the regular servers?
If we can get killed anywhere anytime.......how do u lvl up your character in that server? I would imagine roving death squads of high levels would camp at the towns to kill new players?
Please inform me......I love pvp, but if it is totally unregulated to the point of a newbie not being able to level....then i might stick with the normal servers.
Also how is pvp possible in the non pvp servers?
Meaning the pve servers NEVER have any player killing or player on player action?
Thanks to the seasoned ppl here in advance to answer my noobish questions.If u could answer all, that would be a great help to me.

2. Towns are safezones and as the rule goes, you cannot be killed inside a safezone. Any PK'er trying to enter a town will be instantly killed by the town guard, unless he/she sneaks in by flying over the walls.Is it that when we pk in lost city we get no pk penalties?
Rules of PVP:
> players with blue name = Cannot be killed
> players with white name = Can be killed
> players with pink name = Usually get killed & Can be killed
> players with light red name = Usually get killed & Can be killed
> players with deep red name = Can be killed & fun to kill.
> If you kill someone with a white name(if and only if your target dies with a white name), you get 2 hours penalty for each player killed.
> If you kill someone with a pink/light red/red name, You will be marked as "Active PVP mode enabled" player for 30 seconds, during which time you are just a temptation target for any nearby player.
1. You get a pink when you hit another player. (it does not matter if the target player is white or pink or red... If you hit someone you get PINK - period-)
2. Pink name indicates that you have invoked PVP on a player or a NPC nearby.
3. When in pink mode you have a chance to drop 1 item from your inventory.
4. If the target player is white named and you kill him, you get a light red name. This name indicates you have murderer status #1. Your status adds up as you kill more players. Each player killed will give you a +2 hours penalty.
5. Players with murderer status #1 have a chance to drop ALL their items. Yes ALL your items the one you have in your inventory + the ones you have equiped.
6. As your name gets REDDER the chance of you dropping items increases.
7. You can prevent the items from dropping by using a cash shop item called guardian angel or by binding your items to yourself *(lattar of which is not done untill you have level 90 equips or something really expensive and is the final item)
8. If you are white named and you die by a player... you don't loose anything. but if you get killed by a monster you have a chance to drop 1 item from your inventory.Basically what is the difference between the pvp server and the regular servers?
PVP server on the other hand is a fully functional server with all the facilities of the game enabled a.k.a The server worth playing, since you can't AFK level in this game like in those other MMOs. BOTTING = BANNED.If we can get killed anywhere anytime.......how do u lvl up your character in that server? I would imagine roving death squads of high levels would camp at the towns to kill new players?Please inform me......I love pvp, but if it is totally unregulated to the point of a newbie not being able to level....then i might stick with the normal servers.
@ level 30 you get quests (that you can do everyday and repeat it forever but only once in 24 hrs) that you can do and gain massive amounts of experience inside the safezone itself.
@ level 70 You get more quests of the same type that does not require you to leave the safezone
@ level 60+ you will be required to hunt monsters for experience. But at level 60 your character will be powerful enough to kill any force that tries to disrupt your task.
level 60 players can kill level 80 players, it has been proven.Also how is pvp possible in the non pvp servers?Meaning the pve servers NEVER have any player killing or player on player action?Thanks to the seasoned ppl here in advance to answer my noobish questions.If u could answer all, that would be a great help to me.

REAL pvp isn't randomly attacking someone when they are in the middle of killing something. Real pvp is contest between 2 players of similar level when they both know its coming, no ganks, no attacking when they are not ready. Then you actually see who the better player is, which is the entire point of pvp.Main characters

Disagree, stay in the safe a duel if thats what you want. Point of the PvP server is to be be able to handle the monster element and the player element outside of the safe zone. Think of it like the Dragons event, the swimming one, whatever its called. You need to survive monsters your level, Levels way above you, work with others, and avoid other players who are there to kill you. If so you get nice rewards, if not you don't get anything. Random PK is an added element and challenge we have to surviveb:bye0 -

However the entire point of pvp in an mmo is to see who has the better character and who can use their class better. You cannot hope to prove anything other than how weak you are if you attack when they are occupied or from behind when they don't see it coming.
Before you say anything, I've killed my share of pkers that tried to kill me. :PMain characters

You are incorrect.
Let me ask you this...what are the factors of a PvE environment? Do you and the mobs have contests of strength to see who is stronger? Are mobs not allowed to attack you while you are fighting something else? Of course they are. And funny, I've never heard anyone seriously complain about monsters trying to kill themw hile they are killing something else. Aggro is an accepted part of the PvE environment. Why should PvP be any different? The only difference is that players rank among the dangers that can kill you. They should be given the same courtesies that mobs get. Why can't a player attack you while you're fighting another mob? Mobs do it all the time....players have the same freedom as your enemy.
Duels are made for the 1v1 ****. PvP is not about the best fighter in a 1v1 match. If that was the case, then only the best 1v1 class could win. PvP is about survival. Not only do you have to watch for aggroing mobs, you need to watch for players as well. You need to know the art of escape, hiding, and evasion. Who to kill, how to kill them, who to avoid...these are all things one must know to survive in a PvP environment. Its hardly about the best, but more about the most clever. Adding in dueling rules to a PK environment is, well, ridiculous.
There are many who possess the same limited view on PvP as you do. They are the same types of people that sometimes spam my window with duel requests, QQ from being pked, whine about 2v1, and otherwise act like a total baby. That being said:
OP, lost city isn't that ruthless. Yes, you will be pked, but generally not that often. Even so, it hardly eats up anytime to pick yourself back up and get to questing. I moved to Lost City from Heaven's Tear, and frankly I enjoy the added sense of danger. Plus Secret Passage is a fun place to go when you are bored.0 -
If a person wants to pk, they'll go look for it. If they are killing monsters, they clearly just want to level or whatever. Get yourself straight.Main characters

If that was the case, then only the best 1v1 class could win.
Look at Zoe's avatar and take a guess at which class is the best at 1v1?
PVE players like their PVP to be controlled, how they want it and when they want it, which is alright for them I suppose but in Lost City we just use duels for that. Real PVP is about learning to watch your back, getting in intense brawls with several people, dealling with the situation as it changes (e.g. backup arriving for either side).
The problem with HT and Sanctuary players is that they think that you get pvped constantly and cant ever leave town and struggle to level and have all these problems when there's actually just a few area (literally like 3-4 hotspots in the whole map) where you need to watch out for pkers, but other than that you don't get attacked at all unless you're in one of the larger factions or just really unlucky.Mua - 8x WF - Conqueror0 -
By playing on a PK server you have agreed to kill and be killed at any time, regardless. And for some reason you are under the impression that PK is a mutual thing. It is not, and it shouldn't be. Players simply take the role of mobs, albeit more dangerous. I said it before, the same rules apply. While I don't agree with griefing lowbies, its a part of the game. I find it cowardly, but hey, gotta learn the ropes one way or another.0

The main problem is the high levels that are far too weak to fight anyone of their own level, so they kill low levels. After all, there is no other reason to kill people 20-30 levels lower than you. Unless you enjoy proving how weak and cowardly you are.b:byeMain characters

And once again Zoe proves how much she knows about Lost City. RageQuit are the only high levels that repeatedly attack lowbies, and that's about 150-200 people in a server of thousands, GG.Mua - 8x WF - Conqueror0 -

Most players i see fight players there own level as well. If you pk lowbies, they can call in any number of high levels to kill that person. Or you can just not talk back, accept it and they will get bored with you. And you as the one being killed are on the server by CHOICE, if you do not like it, leave. The ones who complain about it are mostly players that haven't invested that much time anyway where it is a complete waste. Calling anything done on a video game cowardly is the dumbest thing i have ever heard. VIDEO GAME. Do you not get that that is why there are 3 servers. Can you tell me any difference between your server and ours other then the PvP option. If you only want to fight one on one or tw you can duel them and tw on Heavens Tear and Sanctuary. If you accept all the other factors of PvP play Lost City. It is that simple.
If you are going to a bank and walk into the middle of a shoot out between the cops and bad guys robbing the place, and you see it happening, do you complain about being shot cause you were unarmed and couldnt defend yourself, or do you go to the bank across the street?
We have bank robbers on our server, you dont. You want to take the chance, join a side and come join us, if not, stay across the street.b:bye0 -

So what? You're still complaining about "the high levels that did that" and calling them weak for doing it. I'm saying, there are not that many who do that.
If you're not tough enough to last on LC, go back to the teaparty plz b:byeMua - 8x WF - Conqueror0 -
In my experience in the pvp and pve servers. Pvp players are much weaker than pve. They have to attack from behind and all that and in groups against 1 person. That only proves you can't handle it when they can fight back properly.
I know this because I can't count the number of RQ members I killed in CB when they were not able to attack me from behind. lolMain characters

Please... go away.... The amount of stereotypes coming from your keyboard is unbelievable. Don't you have HT things to talk about?
Virtually all of your **** can be attributed to one guild and even then only certain players from that guild. So either start an "I HATE RAGEQUIT.." thread or stop talking about PVP please b:byeMua - 8x WF - Conqueror0 -

Agreed.

Zoe, seriously you are on every thread crapping on LC which you know nothing about. You say you have Char's here, did you get to 30, get pk'd 2 times, cry and quit? Speak highly of what you know, no one will flame you for promoting your server but by flaming on something you know barely anything about makes you sound like a immature kid.
I got pk'd maybe 2 times between 30 and 55 and one was a misunderstanding where i went on a suicide run and attacked a party of 5 people 20 levels higher then me. Most people i know barely got touched at low levels except by other low levels. And when you get to the 60's, there are just as many 80+ on your side there waiting to defend you as there are to attack you. The only people that have real problems doing anything (Leveling, quests, runs, etc) are people that cry about PvP on the PvP server and they should not be playing there in the first place, that is what S and HT are for. Thousands of players enjoy it, we are not all wrong, just enjoy something different then you

CQ, GZ and even most of BL stick by the same fair code of honour: They're the most powerful people on the server but they don't kill lowbies, only people they're on KOS with, which usually means high level clashes over grind spots. That's what Zoe (and 99% of PVE carebears) can't seem to understand.
You're on KOS so yeah, you'll get killed. But anyone else your level can just walk past our 9x, because unless they attack first, we don't touch people outside of enemy guilds.Mua - 8x WF - Conqueror0 -

@ Zoe, Mua.
The real definition of PVP is Pro Vs Proz as stated by Severan before this game's OB started.
Neither of you is pro, you guys have no right to talk about PVP. gtfo, stop trolling this topic. Go QQ more about RQ because they own your ****.I was going to post a reply... then I realized, you would likely reply in anger and insult me, to which I'd most likely respond with a wittier comment or slay you with a macro and then, onlookers, seeing that comments had been made, would interpret the traffic as interest, thus earning you attention you don't deserve for your **** post. So, when you DON'T see a comment from me, THAT is me saying "FAIL" in a much more effective manner.
