PvP Zone?

Sure, every PvP game will have it but as far a reputation goes: it's hard to do something about that "asshole" who camped your corpse when he has a legion of other assholes.

Also: UncleDread... if you can't put forth an argument like Hippo has here ^^

THAN SHUT YOUR FUCKING CUNT MOUTH

The legion of assholes most likely turn on each other and are never organized. Also they very rarely even make it to top level because people find out who they are and kos them forcing them to remake and act differently next time. The top guilds on PvP servers are always anti pk and are respectful to others like them. I would imagine this community would be very respectful for the most part as far as corpse camping. Plus why corpse camp? You could get screenshots or whatever documentation you want and get the person banned for it. Corpse camping does nothing for the pker since all you could loot would be coin. If someone actually was griefing that way at least you could get them banned. Right now people have to worry about people making new accounts and training npcs on people. Banning them does nothing to those griefers and those people are not only doing corpse runs but losing exp. In PvP you don't lose any exp.

"Griefers" is just an excuse, not a real reason to not have pvp. It's another aspect of the game that we are missing out on. Trust me on a PvP server the people who enjoy being dominant in PvE will still be dominant, and there would even be a larger margin between how much better geared the honorable people are compared to the assholes. Once you are named an asshole on a PvP server you just become KoS to everyone and if a guild keeps them in the guild they risk their own reputation way more than they do in PvE. That entire guild may become KoS to other guilds. That PvP environment forces guilds to be honorable that want to do PvE content.

If one of the current top guilds were always assholes the rest of the community could overtake them and eventually make them pay for it on a PvP server. Plus the random griefers will always be hunted by the tons of people with nothing to do. The PvE people drool over a reason to use their top end gear on someone that is known as a PKer. Meaning the people getting picked on will have their opportunity to get revenge through people at the EC tunnel. How long do you think it would take people to hear there was a pk in EC tunnel, port there with 2 or 3 guys and take care of it? There would probably end up being 10-20 people going after them with all the people sitting at EC tunnel with nothing to do.

Where is there a pvp server, you mean that crappy run one with 30 people on it at a time?

So, what? You've already ruined your own pool, now you want to piss in ours, too?

There's probably a reason that server is a piece of crap. We'd like to keep that crap out of P99, thank you very much.

You could use that same argument to say PvE ruined all the other crappy emulator servers. That has nothing to do with it.

Agreed and to quote *insert random orc or gnoll here*

“You’ve ruined your own lands, you’ll not ruin mine!”

lol alright guys I fail, I will give it up because I enjoy this server enough to not worry about it. It gets me riled up sometimes to think of how much fun it would be, but I've been around long enough to know it wont happen here. This is my first time playing pure PvE on any game and I'm having some fun as of now.

[Tallenn]

I didn't mean to imply that PvP ruined that other server- it was the players that ruined it. MMO PvP attracts a certain type of person to it. I'm not suggesting that you, or any of the people that have asked for PvP on P99 are among those. However, you cannot deny that if PvP begins to become more prevalent, those types of people- probably the very ones who have ruined VZ/TZ (or whatever it's called) will also be attracted to P99.

No doubt most of them have already created characters here- but so far, they quickly learn that P99 has nothing for them, they get bored, and they rarely play here. If PvP takes more of a role here, those same jerks that ruined your server will come here to ruin this one, too.

wouldnt people just zone whore and sit right on the zoneline and zone anytime it looked like they might die ?

[Gamkek]

PvP is awesome and people who disagree are probably just too scared to give it a shot. If they did they would enjoy it also.

Enormously sweeping generalizations FTW. How can you say something like this with a straight face?

You would also have those people who wait for someone to zone in an just whail away while their loading >_< Seen that done I dunno how many times. It's mainly why they have places like the arena zone, so people can't sit at the zoneline waiting for laggy people to zone in just to be dead before their done loading to the zone.

Yeah, that was common on the Zeks. People would hang out at the Nek/EC zone all the time.

Of course... there were enough around there most of the time that it just started up fights all it's own. Others would engage the people waiting to ambush around the zone line, etc. Many would zone hop - but on there you could have someone on each side of the zone.

That contest came down purely to who zoned fastest. You could zone a couple times back and forth and then gate or wander off once and wonder how many times the other person would zone before they gave up, lol
