No RP server except PVP? Can anyone explain the differences?

Kaenash

After installing Vista SP1 the game runs and I was able to login with a new username than my beta one (Which sucks, because I use the beta one on every other mmo I play, but okay, no biggie)

So here is my questions:

I like battlegrounds in World of Warcraft, to be able to PVP when I want and go back to PVE when I do not.

 

I like RP Servers in World of Warcraft, becasue you find a more mature player base more often there and I like the idea of people that don't have names like "Turdpumper99" and stuff. I don't need flowery speech or anything, but I like to immerse myself in the game and do what my character would do. If I am a human paladin I am generous, if I am an evil paladin I am cruel and selfish.

 

Having said that, why only RP servers with PVP?

That seems somewhat contrary, most RPers don't want mad gankingfests?

What is the "Culture PVP" server?

 I assume it means Cimmerians can only attack Aquilonians and Stygians or something?

Is there any PVP on the PVE server, as in you are able to go to an arena or battleground?

 

Lastly, what will be the best solo class?  (unrelated I know)

you're correct about the cultural pvp server.

there is an "Unofficial RP PVE " server, Wicanna

The RP-PVP server Cimmeria is very nice, however I dont see much RP right now.  There is quite a bit of guild drama building already which is very nice.  Oddly enough, you dont see much ganking on this server.  The death penalty on PvP death is non-existant so theres no worry to lose anything but time.  Its pretty fun.  Not every zone is a pvp zone, but the main questing zones are.  They are still working out some issues, but overall folks play without griefing too much.

From what Ive heard, Wicanna is very full and the community isnt that great.

No RP-PvE servers at the moment sadly

I am very disappointed in AoC pvp and rp. I am a player that has enjoyed both rp and pvp in every single mmo I have tried to date, and now after I have tried playing on both pve server and rp-pvp server, I can only say: either give us rp-perma(pvp)death server or rp-pve server. That way we either eliminate the ludicrous world pvp all together (easy way out: rp-pve), or actually force-promote RP by making people have to make allies to survive (and eliminate the 'psycho murder mentality' most gankers seem to sport), this last solution feels the most conanesque to me.

The choke point ganking kiddies are ridiculous and it will take close to miracle before I will go to a pvp server again. In my opinion for a game that was supposed to be the new next pvp title, the amount of thought behind world pvp was amazingly minute and no amount of sieges or battlegrounds will lessen my disappointment.

So, yes the game is fun, but as pvp and rp fan I am left playing on pve server with bad taste in my mouth.

PS. Yes, I am aware that permadeath idea may not be economically feasible, but it makes more sense then current rp-pvp ruleset, at least to me.

It's fairly simple to comprehend. FFA-PvP server = small population. RP server = small population. Therefore, lumping PvP and RP = enough people to just barely warrant their own server.

I am not buying that excuse. :P

You may not like the answer, but it is the most logical and likely one.
