Age of Conan

After watching numerous videos from the PvP weekend, it suddenly dawned on me that I hadn't heard if AoC had world PvP in it aside from instanced battlegrounds.

Will there be world PvP on say PvP servers in addition to the option to fight in battlegrounds like in WoW?

I realize battlegrounds are an easy way to streamline PvP, but a very large majority of the fun for me in PvP servers is always watching your back wherever you go.

I also know there are keep/fort battles and such, but are these instanced as well?

Just wondering.

So basically, yes, you will have World PvP. How that will shape the worlds remains to be seen. Also as far as I know, the ruleset for PvP and RP-PvP Servers has not yet been announced.

In that case, I cannot wait for this game to release.

Thanks for the quick reply.

What do most people think of Free-for-all pvp worlds?

Personally I like only certain higher leveled areas to be ffa pvp, although sometimes in lower leveled maps you can't do anything about annoying ks'ers.

This PvP weekend only presented mini PvP games.

There will be a world PvP including Battlekeep raiding and Free for All PvP on PvP servers.

Can characters move freely throughout different worlds or servers( i doubt servers.)

I am not sure what do you mean by moving through different worlds.

I am certain that you wont be able to move through different servers tho.

One of the main reasons I have been following this game is the siege warfare where guilds will construct a fortress and at some point people will be able to attack it. You will be be able to hire other players to help you attack or defend as well supposedly. I haven't heard much about how well it works but the concept sounds good. Every other MMO I played the player made structures were nothing but a time sink that was just used for storage so this will be interesting to see how well it works.

LOL at the fact that I posted a similar thread about 6 hours ago and got no responce where as this thread has 8 replies already. 

Well in regards to FFA PVP I am against it.  I like RvR or faction vs faction kind of deals, though there really aren't factions for this game to have that sort of setup. Thats a major turn off for me.  I imagine that eventually the guild situation will become very complex and alliance will form, I look foward to a system where these alliances become offical and clear in open world.

As for ppl getting wtfbbq'd by higher lvl player, I strongly hope they have a lvl range for pvp like in EQ2.

As for keep/fort battles, from what I saw in the video explaining these they are instanced I think.  What I wanna know is if the battle is instanced how much of the acctual player created city can be seen while your just wandering around the outer zone?

Skeptical - have you played EvE online? that was a great system for both player created structures and player created acctual stations.  But you only saw these things in action if you were in an alliance based in 0.0.
