What is Purpose of PvP server?
I'm confused on the purpose of a PvP server in this game? There is 1 faction (pretty sad if you ask me)... You can only attack other players if you use a skill to flag yourself. And this is another fail game with multiple "channels" (instances) for each area of the game...
So, on PvE i assume you can flag yourself to kill other people just the same? Or no?
On PvE I assume you have guild wars? And Battlegrounds?
It seems like PvP servers are epic failures anymore. The only purpose of a PvP server is to allow open world ganking, not actual organized or enjoyable PvP.
I remember back in DAOC, every server was the same, 3 factions, if you went out and found the other faction you could kill them, no matter what! They later added coop server, but i'm talking about the normal game.
Anymore, PvP servers are just gank fests O.o

No. GvG wars are currently on the PvP servers only. The difference is on the PvP server, you can attack anybody, at any time outside of a safe zone. Period. You cannot do this on a PvE server. You msut have gotten all your information from this forum...lol
Just because you don't flag on a PvP server, does not make you safe. What flagging does is provide a visual indicator to players that you are hostile. Ganking does happen, yes, as on any other PvP game ever made...ever.
Go read up on GvG, Vanarch, and Outlaw...There is tons of information out there.
So, it's not like say WoW where you play on a pve server you can still go to battlegrounds and such? Or can you flag yourself on any server and just pvp? Sorry for the questions. I guess I should have studied this further before ordering!
edit: just caught spikers comments. I will do what he suggested! ty
Death is nothing to us, since when we are, Death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.
The OP is correct though.
Currently PvP servers in Tera are just gankfests. Its the reason 10 channels is a good thing, you can avoid it to an extent. There is little to no penalty if you gank (kill those > 5 levels below you) other than your name staying red.
But since you can hide in towns, that doesnt matter to gank groups, they like their names staying red. Red in town needs to be attackable.
Im on a PvP server for the potential for what it may become.
Right now PvE servers can duel only, no GvG or ganking.

As a point of note, on the pve servers there will be battlegrounds (presumably later this summer but who knows) and they will institute guild wars as well.
Not sure how they will develop the pvp servers.
At the moment, the pvp servers feel more "alive" because of the open pvp. But it is an acquired taste.

So its gankfest or nothing. hmmm. This will be a hard decision! :P

Using "another fail game" and "epic failures" in the same post.
You should open up your vocabulary a little bit more, maybe it'll get your mind out of the troll gutter.
I walk around and quest on the highest populated channels on a PVP server.
Ganked one time because I was alone. Currently level 20.
Travel with friends, we gank anyone pacifically in a guild, and go out of our way to attack any opposing guilds.
If you're planning to join a PVP server, find friends, find a guild that will level with you, and help each other.
Yesterday we where gathering guild members to kill a world boss, right before we started attacking it another guild, with more members and a little higher levels attacked it right in front of us. Of course they knew we where trying to kill it but they just went on and atacked it. So, we turned on Outlaw and attacked them while the fought the world boss. Lost of course being outnumbered and out leveled, but now their guild is on our shit list.
This is what PVP is about, playing in groups and fighting in them.
I don't understand why people expect anything different.
I've played on basilisk crag since OBT and I've been attempted to gank once and the ganker was killed by me instead. I am the guild master of a decen size guild and I member recieve 1-2 msg about people being ganked. There is a difference between someone your own lvling going red and kicking your ass than someone ganking lowbies. If you are bad at pvp then don't be on a pvp server because players if they so choice will attack you. They will do this more if you earn the rep of being a scrub that sucks at the game. They will do this less if you get the rep of being one of the most powerful/skilled player/guild on the server.
Hmm, well I'm about a 7 on a scale of 1-10! I'm getting older and like the challenge but sometimes my brain doesn't react as fast as I would like. I will have to play more possibly on a pve server to see how it is first. I only played the beta so I'm excited to get my copy of the game at the end of the week. Thank you for the information!
Death is nothing to us, since when we are, Death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.
Right now the only difference between a PVE and a PVP server is the Pk and gvg.
Since the pk system is kinda useless and it's only good for ganking this means the minute they introduce gvg to PVE servers the PVP servers will be just for people who like to gank and be ganked.
Tera Eu is thinking about introducing gvg to PVE servers
GvG for PvE was talked about by EME a little while back, I assume EU would do it as well.

Just not worth my time anymore.
@OP
No you can't "flag" yourself as PvP on a PvE server. Outside of that the rest of your post seemed to be you name calling at a video game. It's obviously not a failed system since the PvP servers in TERA are the highest populated, people obviously like what TERA has to give.
Me as an RP citizen? I want my GvG and BGs and I want them nao!
Just not worth my time anymore.
