Oh .. wow .. pvp servers with world pvp ruleset + prestige, favor and whatnot ...
That is pretty damn fine in my book actually.
@OP: I've played full loot games as well and even though those tend to be uncomparable in excitement, I also always enjoyed world pvp in WOW back in the days for instance, even without any rewards.
PVP out in the open world is much more fun to me than any kind of consensual setting like battlegrounds, RvR area's or other designated area's, etc. as it adds so much spice and unpredictability to going about your business wherever you are.
It is cool to hear Rift caters for world pvp fans with dedicated pvp servers and that killing players yields rewards. I vasty prefer such a system above WAR's pvp system which is supposed to be a pvp branded game.
Originally posted by D3lit3 Excuse my stupidity (honestly) but I come from such games as Ultima Online, Darkfall, and Mortal Online where if you're unaware full loot is implemented, so whenever you kill an enemy he drops all his/her stuff. This has always been the motivator for me to PvP, but then I read that this game has no full loot, just like WoW, etc. but regardless this is a Rift forum and I'm interested in pre-ordering possibly if I can get this solved.
So what IS the point? Are there any types of bonuses, or partial loot? I just don't see the need to kill someone with 0 reward or some XP (which can be gotten from mobs). Maybe I'm missing something. Thank you.
Yeah If you want to kill people and take their stuff this game is not for you. You can get PvP souls with the reward stuff. You can also get gear, etc. But you just don't get stuff from the players.

AKA: You come from games which rely solely on numbers (gank parties) to be successful. The point of PvP is to kill players. You didn't get some massive reward for killing people in Unreal Tournament, but the satisfaction that you were better was enough reward. The fun of being in a massive, open Guild battle should be enough for you unless you're just trying to be hardcore.
from PvP in Rift u gain favor..with favor u can buy epic pvp Gear ,mounts etc..even a pvp soul ..
That's all I needed. An incentive to PvP. Now I have one and once again the game is great and my doubts are gone. Although I hope you can't gain favor through PvE as well, at least not the same type.

Thanks guys.
Most of the info in this thread is 100% wrong.
The Rift PvP servers end game will be competing over the Rifts in the opposing factions zones.

PvP in Rift is basically a mini-game to do when you have some spear time in between Quests, Dungeons, Rift Raids, Crafting and collecting shineys. There is no point of PvP other then it's fun to do... With that said there are some cool things you can get from PvP in Rift..
1. Players apon death can drop nice gear just not there gear, it's a randomly generated drop.
2. You get favor for PvP kills and Warfronts that you can use to purchase gear, and PvP souls.
3. Just another fun thing to do on your off time.
4. Great for RP players.
5. Achievments if your into that.
6. XP
7. etc etc etc....
But at the end of the day PvP will always be just a Mini-Game in Rift and will never have much effect on the world or the players them selfs...
I would also like to point out that it's just alot of FUN....
"It would be awesome if you could duel your companion. Then you could solo pvp".--Thanes

Now I am confused. I thought I read somewhere that you also gain exp from pvp and can raise your character level by PvP.
The same as any pvp in any game. To have fun. To see your enemies driven before you... hear the lamentation of their women.... etc. I enjoy it for its own sake. Everything else is gravy.

Fair and square: +1 for Rift in this regard
My brand new bloggity blog.

OMG this is the coolest PvP rules I have seen in any game. Rewards everywhere...I am going to have way to much fun.
A shame I used up my sick days already. Maybe I can take a few days vacation when the game comes out...hehe
There is none, or the game for that fact.
There is only one opinion that matters.
