Me personally I like to pve with optional pvp... but I REALLY like the idea Aion is using. It also alleviates some of the burden with having to worry about the npc side of things (always making new content, more complex ai etc) and brings it to a more player level.
When you have a game that focus's on pve, it ends up being umpteen million players versus the developers to come up with a new epic battle.
With this system, there isn't as much pressure since the bulk of the game is player against player.
I am a big care bear, as I've stated on this and other forums before. I am NOT worried about griefing in Aion. Why? Because that's part of this kind of game.
That having been said. It seems NC is takeing steps to make this game more pve friendly w/o haveing to change the game a lot, or w/o having to put in pve specific servers.
The game is not going to be compeltely care bear, and it's not going to be darkfall either. There will be places safe to pve, but they will not be the BEST places for exp. That's the game. Sounds good to me.

OK, you convinced me that having a Rift free server is a bad idea. But I still think there should be a option to PVP or only PVE in the PVE areas.
If you feel you want to live dangerously in the PVE areas and getting ganked doesn't bother you then you have the option to be flagged as PVP.
But if you are like me and like to PVE only in the PVE areas and PVP in the PVP zones, like the abysss, then there should be a option for that also.
Wouldn't that solve a lot of problems and bring in players that wouldn't even give Aion a second glance because it's Open PVP?
