Free PvP and/or PK server

[Winterclaw]

Two problems with PvP:

1. level 50s griefing level 5s
2. A pve build that most people will be running around with, will generally lose to a pvp build. Plus the PKer should be smart enough to wait until after a fight with a mob is over and attack you while you aren't at max HP/MP.

So that server would see a low population at least for right now.

Maybe later on more people would be interested in something like this.

1. Indeed. That's why i propose implementing a single server for this and various methods to improve balance. As a lv 5 you would need to actually struggle to survive, finding friends or a linkshell to protect you.
2. The equipment in FFXIV isn't varied enough to allow "builds" yet. Most equipment raises the specific stats of the classes it favors and there are only 6 stats to increase.

Indeed a PK server would be for later. However the free PvP option could improve things right now.

they said they wont add open PK or servers only for PVP enough with the ideas about pvp this is FFXIV not wow or rift. I'm happy they said no to open PK i don't want to walk around with someone spam dual -.- no thanks. PVP would be same like ffxi fun games but noting really big.

The current servers would stay as they are now. Only people who want to do so would join a PK server.
In the second option you wouldn't have to fight if you don't want to.

Imagine the window that comes up when you trade with someone. The same would happen with PvP. "This person wants to fight with you. Yes/No"
So even if you dislike the first option, adding this sort of "soft" PvP would already add a lot of depth to the game.

Like i said SE wont make a PK world it just not going to happen the game is made around with the idea of PVE. Unlike every other MMO out there that run off PVP this game is only for PVE. Sure they would add pvp but it be noting like the one in WoW more like the one we had in FFXI. So ya ffxiv would never have only JP world or only pk worlds or only RP worlds that up too us to make it that way.

They said many times that they would never add open PK it just how SE work.
