FFA PVP server?

I heard there was going to be an FFA PVP server?



How does this work in an instanced game? 



Instances allow players to hide from those who are out to kill them.



Does anyone know if you get any loot off dead players after you kill them?



Carebears please go away.  and yes these questions are serious... Sorry for having an IQ over 110.

    yes there will be FFAPVP server(s)

    no it is not an instanced game, like most games it utilises instances (about 15% of the world is instanced) for raiding and some quests... a description of one is found in this thread Fetch me 10 rats tails to enable scenarios of more complexity and enable more minions to be used

    the rulesets for all servers (including FFAPVP) are not stated at this time, including full loot. there may be selectable options such as full loot, or perma death, that puts anyone who attacks you in the same ruleset, but if you attack them you do not force them into perma death or full loot. this is only speculation at this point... it may be neither option is included.

    in addition to FFAPVP, there will be an arena system with a ladder and reward system after release. it may be that you can gamble items / gold on a winner takes all system.

    after expansions are released (it looks like Egypt first followed by barbarian tribed [possibly germanic]) there will be contested areas. no info as to what forms this will take, but the exec producer states that this is what he considers the most exciting feature for when the expacs are released

    From what I'm seeing on their forums, I don't think it will be designed for people who just like to wander around finding low levels to jump. The way the combat is shaping up, I think a lot of people who complain about 'carebears' will end up being a little carebearish themselves when they're watching the battle go on from their corpse's view.

    Never give up and never surrender!

    Section of transcript from the presentation Chris McKibbin (President - Perpetual Entertainment) gave to various gaming industry people that went to PEs offices at GDC 2007





    "I think about it like a franchise… While we are making GnH Rome Rising which is the game you’re going to play, what I think about is in 5 years time, what does that world map look like? To me it looks like mythology online.

    We’ve added Egypt and its territory on the map, and its gods, and its customs, and its weapons, and its armour, and that’s a player race. We’ve added the barbarians and their gods , and the great thing about history is that every race has their mythology; every race has their gods; they have their legends; they have their heroes; they have their architecture; they have their armour, they have their traits and abilities.

    So adding the Norse men and the Norse gods; and adding the Huns and their gods; adding the Persians and their gods and mythology; adding the Greeks; adding the Egyptians, starts to build out a world map that has different races that are all player characters on a big world map with contested territories to get to what we call nation v nation…

    PvP for us is central to this game, but it is central for the progression of the game. The launch title is a pvp game, we have pvp systems that we will be adding to post launch, an arena system that we will talk about, but what I get excited about is this nation v nation for when we have added the second player race    ."
