huh....there's alot of PvP servers. I really didn't get a feeling like it was that PvP oriented of a game.

Who knows, maybe we're in for a surprise? Pazz had mentioned yesterday that a lot of people were calling Rift the "new DAoC"(like WAR was, like(ouch I know) Aion was..etc). While he was talking about a lot of people from DAoC were joining back up to play Rift, I thought he meant PvP wise. Which prompted me to say, "there's no way" But I haven't been in any of the pvp, and if it is, there might be a tear of joy.

I saw a link on the official forums where one of the devs said in an interview that if there was enough interest in RvR type action, they would consider adding such a zone. The thread had picked up a ton of interest of course. Given Trion's record so far of taking some of the best things from earlier MMOs, it wouldn't surprise me a bit to see them add such a thing, even if it ends up an end-game thing only.
I have yet to PvP in Rift either. While I love PvP, I have found PvP servers to be nothing but a gankfest and not overly enjoyable. Of course, the main place I found that to be true was WoW. That pretty much did me in on PvP servers.

What seems to happen in every game is that the pro-pvp people are much more vocal on forums, so it seems to skew the interest level pre-launch. The real proof will be in 3 months, which servers are full vs. empty.
I enjoy pvp in defined open areas (DAoC style) and balanced battlefields (WAR scenarios), but not free for all/everywhere for the reasons Maeve described. I've tried it in EQ, WAR, EQ2, and probably others, and the results have never been fun for me.

I agree with you Maeve.
Though I really hope they add WAR style open-field areas. I tend to enjoy that more than scenarios.

I've only healed in PvP but from what I've played, the PvP felt ALOT like Warhammer scenarios. There has been talk about an open world PvP zone in Port Scion, but it's still up the air.

Well, as Maeve said...Trion tends to listen to its customer base. I hope they add open field PvP zones as well. It would just be the icing on the cake.

Hopefully Trion will be better at math than most mmo developers have been, regarding the pvp issue. They are, and have always been, a vocal minority in all games that are not centered around pvp. I know theyn like to pretend otherwise, but the numbers are not there.
About the open pvp, since all cases there have ever been have amounted to gankfests, there's no reason to assume another setting would be any different. It may be fun to do the warfronts and maybe some back-door scenarios with the other faction and some planar invaders, but it looks pretty solid as it is. A game that's this close to launch that runs this well has a lot going for it already. We can get established now, and worry about the pvp later.
History is more or less bunk. It's tradition. We don't want tradition. We want to live in the present, and the only history that's worth a tinker's damn is the history we make today.

If they're going to do it right, they're going to need pve rewards for holding points. Such as relics, a high end dungeon where pvp can take place, but the uncontrolling faction has to log in to the game in the dungeon.
So many good times in DF. Never did get to kill Legion, but I saw him a couple times!

yeah, I've still to this day never experienced a zone that has put me in awe as much as Darkness Falls did.
We went with a large raid party to hit most of the larger targets one night and it was the first time I'd ever gone so deep into the dungeon. It was truly amazing.

I agree Kendou! That's why we are hoping it's restricted to open fields very similar to RvR lakes like Warhammer or frontier zones similar to DAOC. Places that you only go to in order to smash faces!
