Earthrise

Unless they want to fail from the get go ..... Hey mabey they only want 100 subs at launch.

many DEvs have tried Full Loot pvp and the game died or they just forgot about the idea altogethor... I mean Look at AoC right now the WoW fanboy whimps cried and now FFA is going away.

Hey genius, read about the game.  There's like this thing called "insurance."  You can like "buy" it with "money."  It like, "gives" you your gear back.

Way to fail.

Doesn't EVE have full/partial loot? That game seems to be doing just fine with it... Besides, looting makes it that much more exciting.

There was another little game that launched with PvP loot, you might have heard of it: Ever Quest.

the difference is that Eve has safe zones, and Earthrise doesnt.

A bit disingenuous.  While there is no mechanic in the game which technically prevents a player from opening fire on another at any time there are strong, and harsh, NPC countermeasures in place in certain locations (like Sal Vitas, the capital of the city-state Continoma). 

So if you want to kill some newb get ready to have an NPC storm on top of your head.  Plus you lose all of your gear if killed whether it was insured or not.  And the massive repercussions with reputation., et cetera.

its easy to run and hide in EVE and when you dock in stations you cant be attacked, but , you still have to undock to move anywhere else in the eve universe. no point playing if you dont undock.

once your undocked EVE has the same system that you detailed. while its possable to attack someone in the high-sec (npc policed) areas, your aggression is met with extreme prejudice.

the golden rule everyone learns fast in EVE is "you don't fly what you can't replace". its a geat system that is clearly working for EVE, i dont see why it can't work for Earthrise as well.

I understand your worrys.

And i agree that FFAPvP doesnt work in class/level based MMOs. So then its a nice to know that Earthrise will be skill based and FFAPvP will work fine for that gameplay. Just as it does in other skill based MMOs as EVE and UO.

That makes it a lot like EVE. Actually there are players in EVE that will start kamikaze attacks on transports with expensive freight. If successful, a buddy of the attacker will loot the victim. But it always costs the attacker's ship.

Apart from that, EVE has both safe zones (exception from "safe" see above) and unpoliced areas with completely open PvP.

Hey op please do some research on the game before you start throwing out wild statements like you did! Go look at the official forums especially the Question of the Weeek sub-forum! There are some planned game mechanics to stem PVP kills in certain areas. Also ever hear of a game called Eve online? Well that game is going pretty strong and has full loot PVP!
