Implementing a PK(PvP) Server

[Kurogaea]

Shes right though, this game is pretty boring and there isn't really anything interesting or fun to do besides Role-play. Open World PvP also won't be implemented. Not because its a bad idea, I think it could be a good idea in 'most older games'.

However, FFXIV has some of the worst PvP Balance I have seen in a long time. So no, that is why it shouldn't be done.


Also.. there would NOT be any PvP, 99% of the game is INSTANCED.

Flying Mounts alone would kill high level PvP..

There isn't really a point to a PvP server, because everyone would just avoid PvP anyways.. lol

First off, PvP classes are actually more balanced then most mmos like Elsword for example.

We already have PvP in instances so what are you talking about. If you mean open world then thats still no excuse as Wizardry Online had instanced dungeons where players can still PvP in them (game is still going in japan too).

Like Sieze, mounts give debuffs when hit slowing them down. Who says flight won't be cancelled when hit.

And finally, who would join a "PvP server" just to avoid PvP. Yeah no. Quit kicking others ideas to the curve just because you don't believe they won't happen. PvP Balance out of the rest of your points is the only reasonable concern for why a PvP server wouldn't work though it can be fixed overtime as it is being now. They'll just have to implement Skills made for that server in particular and buff certain classes. Easier said than done, but it CAN be done.

And finally, who would join a "PvP server" just to avoid PvP.

I can name 3 groups right off the bat:
1. People with illusions about how PvP on PvP servers typically works out
2. People who want to play with RL or old online friends who happen to play on that server
3. People who want open PvP to feel superior, aka gank helpless people without being ganked themselves

1. Fair enough, though who's to say they won't make the servers accessible to those who haven't had any normal PvP experience first in the Frontlines and Wolvesden or haven't reached a certain level in the game.
2. So why would their friends let them join a server that they know would most likely give them a hard time and would they really be dense enough to not know what they'll be putting themselves into?
3. They're not avoiding PvP, that's still participating.

Still don't see a reason behind taking my one comment and talking about it, not really adding any reasons to why PvP servers is a bad thing for this game. :/

Well, you asked a question (albeit probably rhetorical from your PoV) and I answered. Nothing more, nothing less. Hope that clears up that bit of confusion.

Trying to argue pro/contra for/against anything on an internet forum is like having two walls with opposing agendas painted on them and waiting for either to crumble anyway.
