Open RVR servers are in at launch

Mark Jacobs on Open RvR servers at launch
Folks,
Hmm, not sure how/where these things get started but nothing has changed since my State of the Game in November:
1) No FFA server at launch - Been really clear about this for a host of reasons over the last 9 months. If you want FFA servers, WAR isn't for you and we've always said that we will not have FFA servers. WAR is an RvR-centric game and the heart of RvR is, of course, realm versus realm and having realm pride is harder when the guy next to you could just as easily stab you in the back faster than the enemy.
2) Core Ruleset Servers - Limited number of separate areas for PvE leveling (where the races don't mix) + safe intro for lowbies but RvR with some limitations (Chicken rule and all that) everywhere else.
3) Open RvR Servers - No ganking of lowbies (sorry but killing truly low-level players isn't what WAR is about even with this ruleset) but RvR everywhere else that players are supposed to get to in the game (players always find a way to sneak in where we didn't plan on them finding a way into).
4) RP servers at launch but whether they will be CR or OR rulesets we are still talking about.
So, like I said, nothing has changed since November.
We are still working on some of the details but as of now, nothing has changed and we still plan on having servers that cater to both a consensual RvR crowd and a non-consensual RvR crowd.

That`s what the link confirms
MJ has said that nothing has changed so Open RVR is in.
I will go open myself.
Ok... dumb this down for me please... open RvR servers are basically what?
Servers with the ability to PvP your opposing faction anywhere on the map but if you go into a lower tier you get chickened? Did I get that one right?
Yes
Your argument is like a two legged dog with an eating disorder...weak and unbalanced.
I'm all for open RVR servers. Means less annoyance for me on the CR servers! I ahve a bad taste in my mouth from the WoW PVP servers. When I want to combat the enemy, I will do so when I chose. Not when I am out wiht my wife chilling on the side kicking it doing something other THAN pvp/rvr.
Always change your signature.
Hells yes.
Wenn nichts mehr geht
Werd' ich ein engel sein - Für dich allein
Und dir in jeder dunklen nacht erschein'
Und dann fliegen wir weit weg von hier
Wir werden uns nie mehr verlier'n
time for some open RVR ...(not my pick but my my friends are planning on playing it )
You will probably
1) Auto Unflag for Pvp in lower lvl tiers but If you attack someone or go in the RvR zone you will be turned into a chicken.
2) You are always attackable being flagged in lower lvl tiers but If you attack you still get chickened or go into an RvR area.
3) You are flagged in lower lvl tiers but If you the enemy attacks you first you can destroy them,but If you attack first you will be chickend or if you go in an RvR area. (Doubt Its this one since they are so strict about ganking, but It may be a fun challenge for guildies or just a PUG group to gang up on them If they are being a nuisance and get some kinda of lvl 40 killer award at lvl 1 #1 makes the most sense right now.)
No such thing as luck, just believing in it is what makes it real to you and really...thats all you need.
Im on nobodies' side but my own.
The problem with Open RvR is if you are too high level you can never go back to the lower tier zones.
At 40 you should get a special flag that only lets you attack people that are levels 30-40, unless a lowbie attacks you first.

Guys! I'm hopelessly lost in a mountain of mole hills! Them damn moles!
Good, the normal servers just seem incredibly Blegh to me, no Open Servers would have meant the game would go on the shelf (or stay there in the shop) till the open servers came out.
I'm happy to see there are no FFA servers; I've so outgrown them.
let me just post this.
ok from what i have heard its that the difference is this.
If a enemy comes into a super lowbie zone (1-5) they are a chicken
The buff they gives you when in a PVP zone to bring you up to par is not in this server type(still works in scenario)
And you are flaged all the time, thus meaning when entering a lower tier zone, you = chicken (Cept for 3-4)
I havnt heard anywhere that you have to target someone to be the chicken, i just be in the area.
This is why the lean to CORE
For a few reasons
1- the combat will be focused, not scatterd , the fight will be at the keep not Hill 20.
2- You can still help your buddies since you wont be chicken unless in a RVR zone
3- You can get your PvE done since its not a fight zone, aka getting that PQ done.
See for me the more i think the more i think core.
Open RVR Seems to maybe pay off for end game, But so would core, since you would have huge RVR areas that are up in the enemies face and ofcourse can just flag youself if ya want to in PvE or stil lget your quest done.
I think and this went for me to, the WoW mentality is jumping in.
keep in mind this is bassed off of the current knowledge of open servers, which may change.
