PvP Question

nynnivanynniva Member UncommonPosts: 235
in RF Online

Been looking at this game, but the PvP-ness of it has me a bit concerned.
I have no problem with PvP - when it doesn't interfere with me trying to lvl, craft, quest, or some other activity.
Is there a big problem with this in RF Online? Or is PvP pretty much contained to certain areas/restrictions/etc? Haven't been able to find a straight answer in reading about it.

I think large scale PvP is great if the server can handle the load. Can it?

Thanks in advance,

Nyn

    No, PvP shouldn't interfere with your individual activities at all. The only PvP that does happen occurs once every 8 hours. And the PvP is contained to a certain map. So as long as you stay around your faction's territory, you shoud encounter no enemies.

    Unless, of course, a griefer is around. There are those high level players who take pleasure in ganking the lowbies, but that doesn't happen all too often.

    To clarify -

    Staying in your factions territory ...how much territory is that? And what do you mean about the griefers? Can they get you in your faction territory as well or do you have to go outside it? I played DaoC long ago, and the idea of the 'frontier' being dangerous but everywhere that was 'Hibernia' being safe to lvl, craft, xp, chat, whatever was completely and totally safe. I'm surprised no one has posted here to call me a carebear, but really if I want to kill people, I load up an FPS ;) I guess my real question is could I enjoy this game with only minimal PvP participation/interference (ie big events, cool - griefing, bad )?

    C00l has it all wrong. PVP WILLL interfer with your leveling. its how the game is designed. the only safe area is around your HQ, which you will only stay till about level 30. then you go to the other maps, where your free to be killed by members of the other faction, and it WILL happen a lot. yup, the server can handle large scale pvp just fine.

    Lol, well that makes sense, considering I've only gotten to lvl 30 myself. So yeah, I guess PvP does mess you up at higher levels when you have to go to other neutral maps. But they usually go to places like Ether in large parties, right?

    if you can't stand being killed when leveling etc. I don't think this is the game for you.

    It's not to bad though, yes some griefers will interfere with leveling.
    But mostly it's easy to get a few people together to kill them, or just ask if there's any high level characters in the area.

    So, once above level 30 it will interfere with your leveling. But since you dont lose any XP from getting PKed and it's often easy to get rid of them (or move to another hunting area) it isnt to much of a problem.
