They have said that they have no plans for PvP at the moment, but they have strongly hinted at it.
Regardless, if PvP does come to EQ2, it won't be for quite a few months.

Aww poor baby no PvP. How will you ever survive? Everquest was never really a PvP game in the first place though if you look at it. If you want PvP I'd check out DAoC or WoW. Though on the other hand I'm willing to bet they will have some PvP servers down the road.
Dont Belive everything you read....Iv been following EQ2 since it was announce some odd years ago... a while back they did in fact say there will eventually be a PvP server... but not for a while. They want to pelase everyone... Unfortunatly theres alotta people (mainly immature people) that prefer to PvP
Honestly I would much rather there not be any PvP... they Made EQ and EQ2 for the purpose of Grouping with others and defeating Evil foes.

PvP will be added in there's no question about that. The main question is: when?
The DEVs made a statement:
Now there is a reason why we made strictly a good and evil side of starter towns.
It's not an exact quote...I would have provided a link but the Official boards were whiped
People who have to create conspiracy and hate threads to further a cause lacks in intellectual comprehension of diversity.

Never been a huge PvP fan, but being able to spar with a buddy at the very least would be nice. I think they just want to avoid the typical
"I pwn joo! I pwn jo momma! I pwn jo aunt Sophie's cat, Mr. Chuckles!" (does that not just sound like something Mr. T would say?)
mentality that typically comes with PvP in most games. Can't say I'd be upset to see this go, but at the cost of a mature duel, or friends having a friendly contest between...um...friends......yeah
; dont know if I'd like to lose that opportunity.
Even though I am not a fan of PvP myself, I would not call players who do like to PvP, immature. It's just a different play style that some do enjoy and I know for a fact it's just not the young that enjoy it too.
Also if and when they do add in PvP, I am sure there will be PvP servers with limited PvP on the PvE servers just like in EQ with "arena zones" and guild wars as well.
Devs have always said that no one will ever be forced to PvP. Even WoW has a PvP switch, so if you don't want to fight you don't.
Well, not "all" PvPers are Immature... but in my Experiance PvP attracts some of the most immature people i have Ever played an MMO with....
Have You played Ultima Online? :P well befor trammel and Item Insurance came out you wouldnt be able to go out of town without being attacked unless you recalled.... Lets see I got PWNed and Raped... (in PK terms) hmm... 100 times? 1000 times? who keeps count... (for the most part, by the same person(s) most of the time) Anyways thats just ONE example.. if I thought about it I could find more... "again" just in my Experiance...
I actually was Influenced to goto Tallon zek or rallos zek (er whatever it was called) server on EQ a couple times... it was fun up untill high teens low 20s when I couldnt go anywhere without being jumped by a bunch of kids (or immature adults) Shouting.. I will Own you you F***ing newb... along with many other Obsenities
Most Common Saying
"hahah I owned that Newb.. "
Some how I always end up being the newb :P.... Nah im not a newb im just not Experianced in the Field of PvP... I wouldnt Mind the PvPing so much if there werent so much Harrasment and Obsenity issues
take it how you want

Yeah, I have played UO from the early from its beginning and died many times to players and I hated everyone of them afterwards.
And all the PKers made me eventually quit just because the game became unplayable and of course the allure of EQ.

atm, the chars are so lame, it would require serious balancing to offer some kind of pker gameplay. The building of chars is nothing like EQ, so no way you can build a pk template. SOE ONLY wants you to play chars the way they dictate... no skill, no strategy, no technique. That would require competence in coding and design, something that they are missing since they run out nearly all the devs that made EQ, it is definatly a product of the same people that brought you swg.
And furthermore SOE really does NOT care what the subscribing community wants (ie. the pvp, WAY more than only four chars per account, individuality in char appearance and a game where skill and technique are sought after in groups, ect.) EQ2 has seriously been dumbed down, grade school kiddies can play with it's simplistic hand-holding venue.
ok, well... Iv yet to be able to play EQ2 but lame? Thats a little harsh... Theres is alot of strategy to the game just like there was in EQ live... Now For PvP thats a whole nother story... but it doesnt matter because this game is Ment for PvE/PvM, and Roleplaying. thus the reason for only four character slots... If you know anything about rolplaying you know that most good roleplaying games allow only one or 2 characters.. 4? i think thats fine Honestly.
Also, this this a MMORPG. which means its ALWAYS evolving.. so Im sure eventually they will allow more than 4. You are basing all of your statistics on the release of EQ2... remember its ONLINE... they will change it as it goes.. Being a 5+ year EQer i can tell you that They DO listen to players, I have seen some changes for the worse (but if they do it is for the beter or fairity) but for the most part i have only seen good things change.
The only thing i disliked about EQ was the many Releases of Expansions, I dont mind the addition to content to the game, But some of the most basic things on the expansions required to have them.. IE Higher levels, AAs, and spells should have been givin free. Or atleast put a couple expansions together befor release and charging the same for it so i dont need to buy them separatly and blowing a wad of cash.
