Will AoC Have a Free For All Server?

Greefer

Are the servers .. or any servers going to allow you at launch to kill anyone / anywhere / anytime?

Thanks guys

There will be PVP servers at launch where you will be able to PVP anywhere at anytime with anyone except for certain safe areas, some cities if I understood it correctly. Otherwise, yes it will be Free for All. 

 

Have fun. ^_^

Hehe well as a personal thought, actually havent decided if i am gonna play on a pvp or a pve server.

The main goal for me playing a mmo, is guild socialising, and feeling that great feeling you get, either when you are protecting your city from invaders, or helping your city attacking others.

Sure this will be possible on both types (pvp and pve). I also from time to time, like to explore and doing a pve raide with my guild.

Sure this wouldent be impossible on a pvp server, just Very hard and very dangerous.

Last but not lately, i also Reallly wanna do to Assassinations , which i only think will be possible on a pvp, since it isent a direct part of the game.

Im properly gonna start one on each type at first, and then choose at a later time.. just kinda bugs me that im gonna have to start on two servers, because i cant decide.... What do you think i should choose :-)

ps. yes as you properly can hear from my text, i am a ex SWG BH vet ;-)

I don't believe they have set the rules for PvP yet, so to call it a free for all would be premature. It wouldn't be a true free for all anyway, the game is too item centric. No one is going to risk their precious equipment if it can be looted after they are killed.

Xasapis

You are confusing combat system with player looting rights. Some people think that's one and the same but it's not. We can argue that it's the roughest mode possible, but one does not equal the other.

 

FFA PvP = Attack and get attacked anywhere by anybody

Player loot = Loot player corpse for X thing (worn items, backpack items, money, tokens, whatever)

So yes, you can have FFA PvP without worn items looting.

I wouldn't take it as gospel yet that there will be unrestricted, FFA PVP servers yet.  I extracted this from the official forums and you'll note it dates 2/21/2008.  I think the exact rules are still very much up in the air at this point.  community.ageofconan.com/wsp/conan/frontend.cgi

Server Types

Posted: - 21.02.2008




At launch, we are currently planning to have three kinds of servers.
PvE

PvE (or player-versus-environment) servers focus largely on players fighting against computer-controlled monsters and characters, with PvP limited to areas set aside expressly for that purpose.



PvP

PvP (or player-versus-player) servers have more widespread PvP rulesets, encouraging players to fight against each other.



PvP-RP

These are PvP servers with extra rules of conduct to encourage roleplaying and a more “in-character” feel in-game.



This may change as we continue the Beta process and receive feedback from our testers and fans

achellis

there is a PvE server. PvP-rp that is ffa but with specail rules.. and then there is the reg PvP server that is ffa
