This is a major leap forward in the game's ultimate potential. I think eq2 pvp is actually quite enjoyable but few people get to see it because they don't play on a deticated pvp server. Battlegrounds will open up this hidden gem to many more people.
Cross server battle grounds you say hummm... well WoW's been doing it for years and WoW is the better for it, although I dont like EQ2 I think it will work. Although expect far more balance changes as a result.
I think it will be largely ignored by the majority of EQ2 players, there may be some guild vs guild battles and similar things. But after the first weeks there will be no battles fought under level 80. Most EQ2 players are not into PvP that is why they play EQ2, it will be like the arenas a fun thing that noone uses.
BG's would be fine if the first thing that didn't come to your mind wasn't WoW, and how much you've decided to hate on that game.

You Sir! have never Played WoW BG's They are by far the best aspect of the Game. /evil twin off
seriously, remembering doing the dailys and the bg's day in and day out, watching the players just "bot" around and the whole experience becoming a shell of what bg's should had been. sickens me to think that EQ2 would want to do that. but then again being a EQ, EQ2, Vanguard, and SWG(not pre but post NGE) past gamer. I believe if SOE does implement BG's that they will be a thousand times worse than WoW's I mean we're talking bout SOE here folks
I feel the clueless gimps at SOE are sure the BG are going to finally kill off WOW and all other custom made PVP games out there this is the only excuse for the criminal lack of content in SF its half baked and utterly lacking of anything new

Battlegrounds suck - PERIOD.
I can't believe that they would allow such garbage on the PvP servers.

Id believe most anything you told me since the inception of the microtransaction to SOE games.
Only thing battlegrounds did was take away from world pvp, which sucks but it shouldn't be all bad.
psst this is cross server battlegrounds on PVE servers.
as to the person saying you will grind the same three over and over ... because its so hard to implement more battlegrounds if its popular?

PvP is clearly what the 99% PvE-oriented playerbase of EQ2 wants. SOE is brilliant in its market research and strategy.

one thing is sure it will bring new player ,since most of eq2 player are adult on a diff plane of reality then the average wow player!
wow - i might return to practice pvp on bgs and will eventually have a chance against the hordes of imbalanced hardcore EQ1 veterans. good point soe.
LOL so very true jesus SOE are idiots
