As a roplayer I would be the player and gank because I can and I would roleplay while I ganked so... What of it. Can I not RP an asshole and take little guys out? It is "roleplaying" right? You don't think that in hyboria there would be people killing little guys for fun? It happens in war to this day in RL. If you don't want to get ganked play oblivion. I am an asshole and I approve this message as well as I approve in beating the little guy down. It's like mashing snow... It's just fun.

Way to miss the point. It's not about rolaplaying PVP. People are moving into new zones and while they are loading, people are sat waiting and killing them before they have a chance to do anything about it.
Entering a zone with 10% health and under attack isn't roleplay.

Oh please! I just went through the entire first 20 levels of the game and was ganked 1 time. I went back and found one of the 3 guys and slit his throat. Not a good idea to gank an Assassin who just doesn't let things go.
I'm sure there's a couple people out there who got hit more than once, but it's really not bad. There wasn't any death penalty when I died and I was back hunting the guys who did it within about 1 min of death. Add on to that the thrill of the hunt for my gankers and it was a great experience overall.
I saw one ganker roll up and attack someone and three other people ran in after the ganker. He didn't last long. Don't let an unexpected death persuade you from not playing on a PvP server. Think of thrill of never knowing if someone you meet might turn on you.
If one goes to a PvP server and does not expect to be ganked here and there, then I'm thinking they might not have gotten the memo about PvP servers. Want to have certain controls on when and where you do PvP? Play on a PvE server. Pretty simple.
Going on a PvP server and then complaining about getting ganked is like buying a Hummer and then complaining about poor gas mileage.
I make spreadsheets at work - I don't want to make them for the games I play.

Then do what the players did in CoH and proclaim a server as the "Official Un-Official RP-Server." If you proclaim it, they will come, mayhap.

The players on the Conan forums voted on an unofficial RPvE server that all roleplayers not interested in playing on a PvP server could congregate on. The unofficial North American RPvE server is Wiccana.
I have the REAL solution to this "death on loading" problem. Eliminate the loading screens in open world. Like professional MMORPG designers do. Even Mythic could do it.
Is it nice in your dream world?
Come back when you understand game technology. Lets face it, you're most likely talking about WoW. It's not open, it gives you the impression that it is. In doing so it could never look as good as a zone game and will have reduced performance on slower machines in areas where the game is pre-loading.
Zoning and open worlds BOTH have their up and down sides and neither one should be looked down on.
The only thing off the top of my head that has come close to being an open world is Vanguard.
Seems it panned out exactly as foretold on the RP-PvP servers... And to think that we warned about it and asked over and over again, to have a RP-PvE server....
But because every such thread was met with hostility of dozens and dozens of socalled "It won't happend, we're good PvP'ers and you cant RP without PvP" peoples... Guess they won... They got their "Gank the RP'ers servers".
You seemingly read my post, unlike 90% of these people posting who have no idea about me saying that there is no RP on PVE servers, and that I'm an RPer.
LOL I love it when people post answers the OP doesn't want to hear it's automatically "THEY DIDN'T READ MY POST."
Yeah, I read it. Apparently you as a player can't ROLE PLAY unless you're on a server with RP lettering in front of it. And you cry about getting ganked on a FFA PvP rules set.
GameSpy: Can you talk about how the PvP servers will work?
Godager: Basically, when the players play with these systems, they say, "Hey, we don't want to be told what to do, we want to be able to do what we want to do. We would like to be the ones deciding to be careful, or to be nasty, or [do things like] pretending to help the ones we want to kill, and then stabbing them when they're at low health." That must be part of the game, that type of betrayal is quite vital in a Conan game. And that's basically what we did.
When we started out the system was very refined, and as time went on and iterations were applied, we made it more and more brutal every time. So right now it's open, free-for-all, you do what you want. Nothing is stopping you. The only exception to whom you may kill are zone-based. Certain zones are PvP-disallowed. In particular, those are the big major cities, the hubs as we call them. Apart from that, there isn't any level cap, there isn't anything stopping you from going after people.
There are, however, post-zoning and post-death invulnerabilities. We don't want [people getting] respawn-point ganked or anything like that. You will have enough time to get wherever you want.
I have the REAL solution to this "death on loading" problem. Eliminate the loading screens in open world. Like professional MMORPG designers do. Even Mythic could do it.
I've been ganked repeatedly already. One time I was killed out of the blue, and than some asscrack killed me when I respawned. The whole white sands is a runescape wilderness.
AOC is one of this strange mmo experiments. They went so far to even bend rules to please gankers and griefers. As poster before me put it, AOC will soon have to change PVP rules. But this will mean loosing customers twice. First the people that got in now , but left because of ganking. Second the griefers that chose AOC for its friendly grief rules.
PS
You think you are ganked now ? Wait for power levelers / gold buyers. When they come with lvl 60 characters to grief lvl 20 zone OUCH
For once I hafta agree with lobo... If FC doesn't do something about the ganking/griefers the PvP servers will be barron within a few months.

Everyone continue the whining, this is going to be good.
Don't be terrorized! You're more likely to die of a car accident, drowning, fire, or murder! More people die every year from prescription drugs than terrorism LOL!
Here's what you do, log off the game, delete your account and get back to watching the tweenies, where everyone lives in harmony and no one ganks anyone.
Seriously, this is why I hate WoW, I hate playing with you kids. 'I dont like ganking', ever playd UO? Should try it sometime, first proper MMORPG which was a brilliant succes. You could gank as much as you wanted and it was actually a fun game because it meant it was difficult to stay alive and you didn't have to ask someones permission to kill them.
Yes WoW has sorted ganking but hey, WoW's a shit game for mindless retards?... I'd prefer to play a game that required some level of intellect in order to stay survive i.e. the solution being, make friends, hide or just use your imagination.
If you dont like the nasty-wasty people swinging their meany-weany swords at you and etc. then go back to WoW with the rest of the 5-10 year olds (+ the occasional older retard).

Ganking is one thing. Zoning and being killed before you've finished loading isn't. Half you "retards" that make stupid posts like this can't actually survive in a real PVP game you just like to talk a lot of shit to deal with your real world issues of being bullied at work.

Gankers can also be ganked. Get organized with your friends and get even.

Age of Conan PvP Interview (PC)
We grill Funcom's Game Director Gaute Godager about the particulars of Conan's PvP system.

I am betting 20 Pandas sooner or later the PVP will be regulated somehow anyway.
People don't ask questions to get answers - they ask questions to show how smart they are. - Dogbert
Ganking will never end. Never, until you remove pvp.
I t's more like, it will decrease when FC creates a damm rulesest. Then it may decrease, totally depends how they implant it and what they implant.

While I don't mind pvp, load killing is beyond cowardly and it can NOT be justified by the "it's a pvp server" line of retardation.
You have no skill, you have no class, and when it happens to you, you'll whine louder than everyone else.
Want a taste of religion? Lick a witch.
