Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his brother.

What we have seen reported, you loose 300xp when you die.   You gain 50xp when you pk someone.  That means we are at a 6:1 ratio xp lossed/earned atm.  It takes 6 kills to make up the one loss you had.  PvP is going to be a beotch to say the least.

I used to play Anarchy Online a while ago, so the system may be different now.

AO used to have a similarly difficult system for gaining PvP ranks.  The ranks didn't mean anything other than giving you a better title.  You did not get to see the numbers behind the ranks either.

But I definitely have to say that a 6:1 ratio is ridiculous.  It's going to be interesting to see all the exploits and methods for farming pop up.  Ganking is going to be crazy.

In WoW, during the battlegrounds, with certain classes, I could get a very high kill to death ratio.  But most people and most classes definitely did not do so well.  For someone to get a high kill to death ratio means that other people have extremely low kill to death ratios.

My minimum acceptable ratio in DAOC was 12:1(solo). I drop below that and I knew I was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

OMG, friend, 12:1 is an ass kicking of mammoth porportions in a game where you lose xp when you die.  At least in AoC you won't delevel or anything like that.   LOL
