Does this game have any PvP servers yet? =) (Sullon Zek Weeeeeee)

/cheer

I hope they never do.

While PvP was in EQ1 they probably won't add a PvP option (or server) in EQ2 the reason being it is mainly grp based at the mid to high lvls. Also they would need a new server and, as stated before, that would cause people from other servers to go to that server which would make people on light servers to leave

If people were like they should be, we could fight and join parties. Friendly battles are just entertaining. Unless there is a bitter hate-filled rivalry. But even Squall and Seifer joined forces. AFTER splitting eachother's heads open. There should be a field PvP on all the servers, or at least an arena PvP with spectators allowed. I'd love to be known like that. And don't even TRY to tell me there isn't a guy you know of that is rude to everyone .A completely arrogant ***, you'd like to teach one small valuable lesson to, in front of all the people he has humiliated, and bullied on. Plus, it's entertainment. Don't tell me you watched Gladiator for the storyline. You wanted to see heads ROLL.

I'm about a month from switching to WoW.... I don't want to (I've tried it and it's really not my bag). But all my friends from EQ1 and real life are PvP players (formally myself included) and so they've all switched. It's just too nice to be in a guild with people that I see every day... can't pass it up.

The moral of this story is EQ2 needs a Qey vs. FP PvP Server!!

I read today on the SOE forums that they may include PvP in the next expansion. People are up in arms about it.

"Another part of the EQII team is hard at work on our first Expansion Pack, coming out later this year. We've taken a lot of your recent ideas and feedback into account, and we're working on some innovative ways characters can move and interact with the environment. Also, we're taking the first step towards introducing PvP competition with the introduction of a new type of combat! " (letter from John Smedley)

Actually, if you read the recent Development posts from SOE, they are planning to add PvP into the game on all servers. It is most likely going to be geared towards the escalation of the acts of sabatoge between Qeynos and Freeport. They did say "way-back-when" that there might be attacks on either city. Here is the quote direct from John Smedley's Letter dated 4/7/05 "....Also, we're taking the first step towards introducing PvP competition with the introduction of a new type of combat!"

The impression I get is that it is going to be purely voluntary, or maybe only used for specific quests or events. Based on the vague referrences, they are developing a whole new combat system that will allow for such combat. Personally, I think it is only logical that there should be Freeport v. Qeynos PvP based purely on the game's storyline. They started with the sabatoge, so armed conflict is inevitable! :)
