How is the pvp? - Page 2

You're right...but if we assume a certain percentage if PvP results in YT, then this is a good measure of PvP occurring. With an estimated 3,600 playing hours a day (150*24) on the server, we are only seeing a verified kill every five minutes.

In my case, I see YT in about 1/3 of encounters, and they usually last under 2 minutes that is not a lot for the server population. This is why I feel the server is very non-PvP focused.

The guy asked what it was like, and I gave him my opinion with some if the information available to us. Not sure why it seemed to bother you so much? Do you feel the server has more than enough PvP?

I don't think anyone expects FPS style PvP here, but if he should know that it is not very common (except getting griefed as a new player).

Your experience leveling:

Going AFK? Deadman (or woman)
Come upon someone who is red to you in an area to exp? Invite them for sweet exp bonus!
Got a sweet group in a predictable zone? Don't worry - someone leveled a rogue up, got epic / poison / fungi and de-leveled to grief you and your group hunting in the predictable zone.

Exping in a group and someone (or a small group) rolls up to pvp - lots of scared running and dispelling until oom. Maybe someone does. Lots of gating.

Let's say you decide to try and do some pvping - despite knowing that you're going to try killing off the people with whom you probably want to get a group. You roam about to the usual spots and people flee as they just want to exp.

Level 60 - you don't actually pvp you just complain about pixels and people not pvping. Every once in a while someone calls out a 1v1 and you need to trashtalk more about how its not worth it since they died once in 2011 and you proved you're the best.

I'm not 60, but it's my understanding that that's what level 60 pvp is about.

My personal philosophy? PvP is fun & adds a thrilling element. When I pvp I don't trash talk. Keep it classy, keep it classic.

[but a teams no level limit server would be best imo...]
