    Awesome for the new upgrade. Now, about the question, well no matter how bad you are playing your class, if you wear rrr9 gear, thats all you need to win in pvp most of the timeb:laugh, but when someone with at least rr8/g15/g16 won vs a cashoping user, they get mad at him/her, and even the pro come from using Ironguard Powders and genieb:chuckleb:laugh

    For a reason exists PVP and PVE servers, no need to force PVP in a PVE server, just a few duels is enough for funb:pleased

    Personnally I don't like PvP... That why im on a PvE server. Only moment I PvP is for NW!! XD

    So if you wanna protect and help people better than killiing others players, you are made for PvE. If you feel to be the best of best and wanna get more challenge etc, go ahead and go on PvP server... But you know, this is ALWAYS your choice...

    The reason that there is PvP and PvE is that ALL people are different... If the game was really a PvP ONLY, there won't be so much people playing, right?

    Anyway, that was only my opinion...

I don't think I'd have it any other way. I live for this. I get RPKed but I don't cry about it. It's fun to me. I don't die irl cause of it.. so what's the deal? I fight back. Some times i win... most times I die.. whatever. It's FUN! It's a game, man. Shouldn't you have fun? I do

    I laugh at many people that talk about pvp servers having better PVPers than pve servers....i would like to say that that is a false stigma. Just because you pvp all the time on a pvp server does NOT make you better at it. I for one would challenge ANYONE to come to Raging Tide and pvp 1v1 against me equal geared...id love to give them a hand at dying xD. ijs PVP is so much fun but u dont HAVE to be on a PVP server to do it. PVE servers have great pkers too.

    In true PvP situations you are probably correct. But on Sanctuary at least, PvP players seem bored or something, as there is no reason a R9RR +10/+12 player should park in the cube and kill everyone that enters a PK enabled room (like either of the jailed rooms) yet this happens all the time. If they were only targeting other PvP players, well that's how the game is played, but taking advantage of the Cube to kill players who have no desire to engage in PvP and in fact CHOSE a PvE server to avoid such seems tantamount to bullying.

    Furthermore, it serves no purpose. There is nothing to gain: no drops, no exp, no "rewards", the PvE players almost always are 1 shot so you can't say it creates a "fun battle", and in the long run it probably hurts the game as a whole, as more and more players who encounter that kind of thing shift over to other games and no new players come to PWI to replace them.

    If you like PvP that's fine, just accept that some (a lot even) of us do not, and that should be fine too.

    I just think that it would be more logical, if you like to PvP, to spend your time on a PvP server.

    Good Luck!

    See.. we don't have that on HL.. I can go through cube pretty safely. Even in the bored rooms. And that's probably cause people can PK wherever they want to.

    Edit: Trust me, it is fun though to kill "noobs" cause they cry to you after and you get a laugh out of it X_x

    This week's maintenance question:

    Do you like to PvP? If not, why so?

    pvp is 2 sides of a coin for me
    on the one hand i enjoy tw/nw etc
    but on the other hand, open world pk has become more and more frustrating as of late

    what i absolutely dont like about it is the fact that several important quests require u to be in pk (wagon quest in primal world, veno instance etc)
    and ppl camping the wagon quest in stealth and randomly killing everyone who cant defend themselves due to gear is really pissing ppl off (im saying "ppl" on purpose here)
    i mean ye, theres always some jerks on each server, but seriously...i neither consider it "pking" nor having playerskill when someone only attacks ppl afking out of safezone or those who cant stand up to his gear anyway, and when he gets hit he's back in safezone so fast u cant even blink
    and then trashtalking ppl in worldchat how fail they apparently are

    imo there should b implemented something like if ure the one attacking an other player safezone would have no effect on u for like 5mins or so
    because, why atk ppl in the first place and then run and trashtalk them for "failing" to kill u when they didnt even have a chance to kill u?

    Honestly.. I wouldn't wanna go PvP on a PvE server... too many people that have too few targets... PWE should do the thing I said before and make it able to switch servers.. OR they should bring in a thing that you have to pay for that you can switch servers.. like in........ that game with orcs and humans and elves and such.. you know what I mean :P

    I would be all for this....the ability to jump from server to server kicking other players butts would be fun and maybe even save PWI from the hole it seems to be falling down. A great idea..if its not in the suggestion box now it should be ijs.

    We haven't had this feature in quite a long time. Not even on the website itself. It became unusable after the server hardware was upgraded many months ago. it would consistently show servers online, that were not. So, I would assume it's been done away with.

    However, I'm hoping a new system is in the works now that we have a new website and platform. In the meantime, we use Sweetie.

    SweetieBot, report server status please.

    We also use her for update patches.

    SweetieBot, please find the manual patch

    similar concept to what forsaken has. a pvp cross over. but its weird u cant single it out its groups of 3 or 6. but for those that enjoy pvp they should have a cross over so the ops of one server can kick it out with other ops from other servers an see who truely is the best..

    You must be new.. the server status thing was never in 5 years correct. So.. what help it would be now, I dunno.

    If we could switch server by paying real money... Hum I guess to much people would go on a PvE server and then switch their chars for a PvP... :/ Not really interessing for them I guess since on a PvE server is easier because of more people on etc.

    I do believe, iirc, that this has been suggested before and was shut down. Too many issues arose such as scammers jumping from server to server, people coming from one server to another and causing massive economic changes, etc. There were many reasons, but alas I really don't feel like looking through the Search function at the moment x.x
