PVP - WORLD WAR (I)

[mixxit]

One thing we have to consider is this is the actual sitation in the world today. So it correctly emulates why the gnomes/dwarves and elves are allied and why they have a loose alliance with the humans.

On a side note about game mechanics - can I jump in on a fight that doesn't include gnomes if I'm a gnome necro since I'm racist against against High Elves? I don't mind if I don't get any reward I just want to make chaos.

This could go on farther and if a certain race was taken out by another. For instance if the humans took out the dwarfs in BB, the dwarfs could help take BB back with the light elves as the dark elfs took East Commons. Even though the dwarfs could get nothing out of this fight since they already lost they would at least get the satisfaction of screwing over the humans that took them out originally.

alliances should definately be allowed to participate but maybe even non-alligned pvpers could join in

it really depends on what everyone wants so we can modify the ruleset accordingly

in EQ2 they had a 'gray' team of players too who were 'underground' and were allied with no one

Diplomacy is just as important as the combat!

Firstly - The concept of controlling a port zone as access to launch an attack on any subsequent port zone = genius. Think of backdooring Neriak by invading Lavastorm.

Secondly - Should a race lose control of all zones including home city, they are then subsequently removed from the War and all character's of that race must bow before the current owner's of their homecity in bondage.

Thirdly - My diplomatic proposition as Dark Elf Royalty should my opinion be of concern to our racial leader:

It goes without saying that Neriak is the most powerful and glorious city seen on the face of Norrath. It is the Rome of this world and we Dark Elves are it's Roman. As such, I feel there can be no true alliance between us and the Trolls and Ogres. But fret not my darkly inclined, albeit intellectually inferior, brethren. I propose that you join forces with what will assuredly be the superpower of this world, Dark Elves, as vassal states officially. While you will never be true equals you can still partake in our glorious achievements as we tread a warpath outwards from the glory that is Neriak! Should you take our mighty race and empire up on this offer it will be in your best interests!

Thinking of more things currently:

When making a claim for a territory all involved parties must be arranged prior to battle ensuing, meaning there can be temporary alliances. In a scenario where Dark Elves are assaulting EC, Humans can choose to oppose but also if Gfay is owned by HE then they attack and own Nro though portal they can choose to oppose as well so it could be:

Dark Elven Supreme Empire v. Lowly Human Dogs v. Filthy High Elf Aristocracy

one battle and one winner


Also, second thought. A side group of gray Brigands. They can claimno territory but either choose freely or have their services purchased to aid a Racial Power anywhere in challenging a territory.

To be honest I think races should be clumped together. I don't think it's very fair/inclusive to make races such as barbarian stand alone due to the lack of class choices + rarity of race.

I think the event should encompass a evil/neutral/good element or race archtypes such as:

elf: half elf, wood elf, high elf
dark: ogre, troll, dark elf
human: barbarian, human, erudite
small: dwarf, gnome, halfling

or good/neutral/evil:

evil: dark elf, ogre, troll, erudite
neutral: human, halfling, gnome, barbarian
good: dwarf, high elf, wood elf, half elf

oh yeah and my pvp char

Hipponipple - Gnome

Only level 19 but since I come from a pvp background that probably boosts me to the potential of a level 40 vs you suckers, possibly higher if going against a dwarf!

And on a side note I never realized that my avatar of me dressed as pappa smurf for Halloween actually makes me look like a gnome.
