Right, even though now guard farming is pretty obsolete, I always thought there should have been world wide emotes on the first guard killed so people could show up. Currently there's only an emote when you kill their banker or morale officer, but as I said, guard farming has basically passed it's time as a viable way to gain some points.

Oh, and the handful of the people who camped the shit out of them day in and day out are now on VZTZ anyway, so it actually worked out great. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

As much as the nostalgia hounds hate the idea of porters, to me they make perfect sense. You can get to PvP faster. On K&B when there's yellow text it also has the zone name. Nice, let me port home, and hit up one of the four options the porter has available so I can port in somewhere close and run my ass over there, instead of realizing it's a continent away and just staying put.

And again, the corpse summoner with a 30 minute timer. I think it's brilliant. You completely null all those rules about corpse camping, loot and scoot, bind rushing, whatever. No rules, if you don't want to risk getting camped or killed again, wait it out. To me there's nothing blue about that.

In the end, to each their own. I agree with the sentiment that starting up a new character has a certain rush to it. Some of us just enjoy rerolling, plain and simple. It provides new opportunities.

in all honesty though K&B was pretty legit and w/o guard farming/bluebie action and all that it has a lot of potential because you HAVE to pvp in order to get better gear, but having safe zones in AT ALL = no thanks

Well, technically above 40 there are no "safe zones" in the sense that you're untouchable. You can sit in your city and do whatever it is people do, but if some players of an opposing faction showed up, you could still be killed after they made it through the guards at the front. So people can sit behind guards and be "safe" in their city but that's it. You can only stay in Nexus/Bazaar/Shadowhaven for 10 minutes and you're kicked out.
