I can understand and accept that EQ2 wont have pass PvP.
Come on.. PvP in MMO can be really frustrating with lag and totally chaotic, but what about 1 vs 1 duels?
Will this be allowed...?
I sure hope so, because even though the different classes would be totally unbalanced, I would just like to have a fight against my own class to see how good i am... no cheating, just two people fighting for fun... no bonus.. no reward/penelty... just a duel:)
I heard that this would be included, and I have also heard that It wouldnt!
Can anyone clarify this for me?:) thx!
I totally respect EQ2 PvE gameplay style, but i still just wish that duel would be possible:(

Does anyone have a link that says there will be no dueling? If so, I would like to see it.
On the Non-PvP servers for EQLive there were duels, and also arenas where people could go to fight. I always thought that EQII would carry over these traits. I would be shocked if they didn't allow duels and have arenas... so, please, I would like confirmation on this.
They aren't implementing PvP for one simple reason: If you tune the game for PvE, fewer people complain. If you allow PvP, all of a sudden it's obvious which classes are the most powerful. This leads to a LOT of whining, which in trun leads to nerfing the powerful classes in the name of "balancing" them. Suddenly, my Monk looses 200+ AC because some dick whined about how his warrior doesn't do enough damage to compensate for a monk's AC bonus and DPS.
I personally don't have a problem with their new philosophy. In fact, I would rather the PvE game be perfected before PvP is even on the table. Everquest became such a cluster fuck when PvP "balancing" came up... The way SoE does things in EQLive, they never seem to [b}boost[/b] anything - when group A complains that their class is inferior to group B, group B is always the ones who get adjusted. They never solve the real problem - instead, they even the playing field so as not to appear to favor any one class by upgrading them.
So in the long run, it's better to forget about PvP in any form, until they have 100% of the PvE game balanced. Only then can they begin tweaking and balancing PvP.

The first, there will be absolutely NO PvP at launch. You heard me correctly, there will not be duels, there will not be arenas, there will not be anything. Further, the developers refused to speculate on whether there ever will be. So if you are hoping for PvP, the wait may be a while. Senior Producer John Blakely said this, and when questioned about it, said that is the stance of the team at this time, and that there will be for 100% sure no PvP at launch.
Arenas still kick ass though
its damn fun beating someone in a duel.
