Maybe we can make Kunark interesting. Give you a live 2 week preview, before official release. Except. Make it PVP.

Ok, only my idea. And my views are usually not entirely, but almost sometimes, out of line with managements.

Organising something like the SATURDAY NIGHT PVP FEVER would be cool

lol ughh.. nevermind

As much whining, etc., goes on concerning named in PoHate, Fear, Solb, etc., I always thought the solution for when 2 or 3 guilds start bitchin about who got 15 first ... who should get the named ... blah, no we had 15 first, the account I was boxing .... err, my brother went LD, then we had 14 when you looked ... blah blah ... Abacab was training us .... the corpse poofed ... oh he ninja looted ... blah blah blah.

Solution ... toggle PVP on for the zone. You die, you cannot zone back in for 30 minutes.

There, problem solved.

Damn, someone must have put piss and vinegar in my drink tonight.

I agree Haynar, that's the best possible solution to solve it all.

Yeah but unfortunately there are people who don't like pvp.. and they dominate the majority of the population. Thats why the only way to keep the population up and have pvp is for the players to do it themselves. Starting 1 red raid worthy guild could have a domino effect. Especially if another superior blue guild saw them taking their spawns and were sick of it.. and wanted to retaliate, maybe entice them to go red and kos the red guild.

I say just allow blues and reds to heal/buff each other when they're grouped up. That way reds can actually play the game and also be able to pk, while blues won't have to participate in pvp.

To easy to abuse as a blue healer, unless the "turn red for 5mins after healing/buffing a red" option was in effect.

Even then imagine a complete heal landing on someone and turning the healer red, not gonna matter much after a long fight where you're almost dead. PvP will never work on this server outside of special settings like contests, etc. The closest I think it'll come would be "instances" of zones for specific level ranges to queue up for PvP or something like 1-20, 20-40, 40-50. No rewards other than bragging rights.

Now that I think about it an always on PvP zone might be nice with level ranges. Like say you're 1-20 you can always get teleported to some zone where FFA PvP takes place. This kind of "hang out" environment would be more organic and thus fun for this type of server imo and it would give the high level guilds something else to fight about. Large open zones would work best and possible random teleportation into the zone.

That's my vision anyway.
