Final Fantasy XIV A Realm Reborn Inquiry?

[Malachi]

You make some good points here.

I can count all the greys I've killed in 10+ years of PvP on both hands. I have friends who gank tons of lowbies. I try not to judge, but it's never appealed to me. Unless you're within 5 levels of me, you get a pass (unless you do something really stupid, like repeatedly gank one of my friends/guildies, grief in some other way, etc). I do, however, like to go after the gankers. If I hear of someone ganking friendly lowbies, it' go time. xD

I also wish there was more incentive and general reinforcement of world pvp situations.

And keep in mind, being on an open PvP server doesn't mean you attack EVERYONE within 5 levels. You still have a choice. And so do they. That too, makes it really interesting.

Yeah, I don't *always* attack someone even if they're my level. Sometimes it's exciting to help them fight some random spawn boss mob, and then you /bow to each other. But for the most part red=dead if they're my level.

But even with world incentives and pvp objectives in the open world, people still didn't PvP there as much as Battlegrounds. And Arenas are even more successful than Battlegrounds, although I really hate Arenas. I really love large battles, and I'd be all for a PvP server if it actually meant large battles. But even on a PvP server all the good PvP is in Battlegrounds, so there really is no point to be on a PvP server. All you get is a very rare fair fight, and lots of ganking.

So is heavenly sword going PvP server then Steve? 'Cause me and Mal are going PvE, So atleast if any of the group wants to go to either side they have options so it does work out pretty well honestly.

Oh yeah. Plus some. We'll probably just take a group vote, as I know some of us won't want PvP. I don't really mind either way to be honest. I just think PvP is more exciting.

I want to kick you in, but I'm no spartan . Soo.. *gets master chief to kick you into the well* That will have to do. But yes there are 2 groups. Heaven's Sword, which is Obderiath's clan, and mine, Vulgar Display of Power. Which is subject to a name change for FF14 possibly, but doubtful.

*Heaven's Sword

Edited it, sorry for that xD.

I can honestly say I will not go onto pvp servers. Especially not an American one from England. :P

Well, if it comes down to a line over the PvP issue, I'll definitely be joining Heaven's Sword. If there -is- no PvP ruleset, I'll be pushing for official/unofficial RP. Generally less @sshats. =)

I would do RP servers to if it was chosen.
