    You can attack in Eve in a "safezone" but there are NPCs that will fight you as a result. If you want to risk your ship then you can still kill.

    
     

    Yes, the NPCS will kill you. So people don't attack in those zones. So they are safe

     

     

    Doesn't change the fact that it's still classed as fully open pvp. There are no official safezones where PvP is disabled and that is what the vast majority of players (and games companies) consider a safe zone.

• • Simple Question

  • If I had tcos beta I'd laugh at your swap offer. SgW's combat system is pretty much the antithesis of tcos. It's boring, dull, and uninvolvin. Perhaps the worst combat system Ive tried. Don't think I can safely add more to that.

    Umm no. I suggest you go back and read the early tcos forum info. Game has ALWAYS had pvp in mind and NOT JUST resource and arena pvp. There was orginally shard conquest and house vs house, both of which have been pushed back to post release. Hell some of the very first press viewings were just pvp ones... think one of them had a sword for 1st place.

    "and PvP servers added as a ploy to get more subs."

    Since this game has always had more interest from the pvp crowd I'm hardly supprised that pvp servers were added (and yes it will most likely bring more subs). Also since shard conquest and house vs house and some arena features are slated for post release, open pvp will make a welcome substitute till that content arrives.

    You seem to also suggest that pvpers are the ones who moan the most about balance... allow me t opoint you in the direction of EQ where Tiglo and Furor (now blizz devs) bitch, moaned, threatened and ultimately crashed servers coz of 'pve balance' (some crap about SK/pala > war tanking, and other classes performance).

    And that's not limited to EQ, even WoW (the so called KING of all things pve) suffers from carebear QQ. Warriors players crashed servers early in vanilla wow, and although player made server crashes are a thing of the past the QQ goes on and on. AND ALL THAT pver QQ does effect how the WoW classes are buffed nerfed.

    Well actually it's both. Shard conquest/house pvp was originally on the boards fro the start but was put on hold till post release. PvP in the resource areas (as in the ONLY place to get the resources) has always been in, and an in depth arena (apparently limited in features till post release.. Also before anyones claims this means it's def more of a pve game... a chunk of pve stuff is limited till post release to).

    And in regards to player interest, if you look at the official forums you'll see that the pvp forum is sitting at almost 3x the posts of the pve form. Now I know this is no firm judge of the matter (I'm sure the pvers will claim it's just a small num of pple posting many times) but it seems that the potential player base has from the start been more interest in pvp... so hardly suprising that the devs have decided to create open pvp servers. Would not be suprised if the first new post release features will be the pvp stuff that the promised years ago.

    Just coz it's got a really strong pve ai does not mean that this is just another pve game with pvp 'tacked on the side' like WoW.

    Er... no. PvP in wotlk remains pretty dire. Ok so it's better than BC but that new zone really ain't all that great and the big arena push is just depressing and as for class balance.... HAHAHA. Got to the stage where I'm going 'Is that it? All this time and money and this is all you monkeys could come up with???'

    PvP in warhammer is flat out better. Overall it's not my cup of tea but it is better than anything wotlk has to offer, and that's despite the various balance issues.

    TCoS and Aion on the otherhand really do the pvp/pve mix just great. So OP if your not interested in WAR and don't want to spend ur days running around in an arena box then I recommend ditching wow and saving ur money for tcos or Aion.

    Or you  can listen to the wow fanbois and go play in a shiney new pvp zone which is GREA... ok rather lackluster and uninspired. Or go play BGs for scraps. Or run around and around and around in a pvp box where fotm class/teams still rule the roost (but don't worry they'll balance it nxt patch... no i mean next patch... ok next expansion... honest guv).
