I don't know if any of you were listening to the ustream from Gamescom the other day( i meant to post this yesterday), but the developers were asked about pvp. They spoke on the two aspects of pvp that will be in GW2.
1. Structured pvp like the current guild versus guild or the Heroes ascent currently in GW1
2. The world versus world pvp, which will be in "The Mists". This type of pvp will be a three way server versus server versus server open RvR style pvp with fort sieges and captures points and such.
I am super super excited about someone finally remembering that 3 sided pvp is the ONLY way to really succeed.

I really can't get over this.
It's one thing to say, "oh my side is better than yours" it's another to be able to say "our whole fucking server kicks your whole fucking servers ass"

I dunno... 3 sided in Rising Force Online was pretty boss. One of my favorite F2P games of all time.

I really can't get over this. It's one thing to say, "oh my side is better than yours" it's another to be able to say "our whole fucking server kicks your whole fucking servers ass" But don't forget that transfers will be "free, fast, and frequent" in GW2, which means that as soon as your PUG starts losing a match, people will start griping "this server sucks, I'm leaving." In fact Arena.net will be implementing special code to keep you from switching servers in the middle of a PvP match  It should be interesting to see how much, if any, "server loyalty" will exist in GW2. I think a lot will depend on if guilds get confined to existing on a single server (there is a very good chance they will not.) |

Ah, so each server is its own faction then? That's cool for the pvpers.
I think we're gonna need a new flag, this one's got the last flagbearer all over it...
