No LP System? I'm in!

in The Repopulation
After the absolute disappointment of ArcheAge, I'm happy to wait to try a sandbox game that doesn't use cheap micromanagement tactics like the LP system. Especially one that seems to have elements of SWG in it!

    My disinterest in Archeage is the forced open world pvp.

     

    Does The Repopulation have open world pvp?

    The Repopulation has open pvp areas, but you are not required to enter them in order to progress. A full compliment of resources and PvE (mobs, quests, etc) is available in the safe areas.

    The main factions, OWON and FPR, have 1/3rd of the map safe for them. The middle third separating them is the Contested Lands, an open pvp area. The normal server has only a small debuff and decay on death, so you do not suffer much loss for dying.

    You will need to access these PvP areas to get some of the best loot and crafting materials in the game though, or you will need to have other people who can do it for you.  At least that's what they've been saying for the past year that I'm aware of.  Please correct me if I'm wrong, Kayletta

    This game is one that I'm really interested in, but I have a serious issue with only having 1/3 of the world available for me to play in if I don't care for PvP.

    Sorry, but you are wrong :P

     

    The full range of tiers and content type will be available both in PVE and PVP zones, so top-level crafters and merchants, etc. won't have any need to go in PVP-zones (aka Rogue Nation territory) to get the best ressources or craft the highest tier.

     

    What I understood it may come down too, however, is rarity : as more people harvest the resources available in PVE-protected zones, you may see prices go up as they get more rare (they come in somewhat limited supplies per area/region per timeframe), so players will have an incentive to chance the PVP areas to bring back those materials and sell them for a better price.

     

    But it won't gate your gameplay at all if you don't go into PVP zones.

     

    Edit : you can also look at both of JC-Smith's (one of the owners of ABT) replies here : http://www.mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/thread/420748/page/1
