PvP?

Does anyone know how important PvP is in AoC? Will there be an option to play on a completely PvP-free server? Will there be 'teams'? Level caps? Corpse looting? Anyone?

    PVP is king in AoC lol, just go to the site watch some of the dev vids. Siege pvp, open pvp, and many other kinds.  And yes i believe there will be servers that have no open pvp, like carebear servers. but they will still prob have siege pvp and what not.  just check out there web site and read the features.



    edit: we dont know about corpse looting right now, the cap is 80, and by teams do you mean good and evil?

    but it will still feature FFA PVP in the border kingdoms (similar to the wilderrness in runescape)

    so ya PVE everywhere except for one (or a few as far as i know, deff not a huge part of the gameworld) area

    pve server means no pvp



    pvp server has pvp in the boder kingdoms where the keeps are,there not ffa pvp,theres safe zones and anti-griefing



    they have yet to announce a ffa-pvp server ,which would mean you can kill anyone ,anywhere,anytime.

    Actually, Guate Godager recently announced that the only two kinds of servers that there will definitely be available at launch is a normal PvE server, that is to say that the FFA PvP is restricted to the borderlands as mentioned above, and an "RPvP" server, which is an RP designated server with FFA PvP everywhere you go except "hub" points, which I assume means major cities and respawn points. A server with no PvP whatsoever was never even considered.

    A.) the above doesn't mean there won't be other options

    B.) Aforementioned antigriefing systems will be in place, including in FFA PvP zones.

    I loved to PvP in DAoC

    But everywhere i met FFA PvP i detested it. And i know most people i know will agree to me.

    If they only release a RPvP with FFA PvP at release, its obvious that all PvP powerhorses will join the RPvP server and thats smething that will ruin the whole RP society.

    So i was hoping that they would release a RP server with the same set as the normal servers, but added some RP enforcement.

    The PvE or if you will "normal" servers >>>> WILL HAVE PVP <<<<<<  in the BKs,  pvp mini-games and drunken brawling.



    The PvP specific ruleset servers will have pvp exist outside the BKs , in fact pvp will exist everywhere except in the cities and even in some of them there are places to pvp. Also the Guild cities will be able to come under attack by other players @ certain intervals of the day/night akin to  the siege system in the BK.  On these servers item looting will also exist.



    It is a good time to be a PvP'er no doubt.

    I'de be happy if they officially announced and explained 1 server type per week they will have.They seem to be having communication issues on a pretty basic subject,I hope this isn't a sign of things to come.
