So are there PVE/PVP servers?  Read a review where a player was describing a PQ with Orcs/Dwarves in the same zone.  Mentioned he had to wait for the Dwarves to flag.

Is there a PVP server where you don't have to "wait" for someone to opt-in?

Thx

I dont believe its possible to have a pve only server. That said, there are zone or racial pvp events and then the over all pvp events.

So there pvp events where the dark elves fight against their racial enemy the high elves, the orcs vs the dwarves and the empire vs chaos, in turn though there are all of Order vs Destruction events.

Make sense?

I thought they mentioned there would be a variety of servers.  Seems PVP server would be option 1.  However, at the PQ's in question I have never had a problem with people not flagging.  MOST of the players are ready for a fight and will readily flag.  My favorite PQ's are the ones like the Dwarf/Orc contested ones where there was as much RVR going on as PQing.  Lotta fun.  Either way though, I would not be concerned about any lack of RV or people flagging for it :)  As a dwarf, I had Destruction people coming right next to my started town and flagging themselves for PVP, and vice versa as an Orc.

They have said or at least touched on having servers that will have permenant RvR flags and of course the more PvE friendly non-perm.  Of course if your really looking to RvR all you have to do is go to the RvR flagging areas on the regular world map which get larger and larger in proportion to what tier you are in.  So in Tier 1 areas the open field RvR is roughly 1/4 of the map in those zones.  In Tier 4 is somewhere closer to 80% or more.  If you are itching for RvR it will be available in more ways than you can imagine. 

I for one will be on a permenant RvR flag server if they are available at launch.  See yall there.

I dont know if they change it but:

- Core Servers.  They will be RvR ones.  You RvR in some specific zones.  The other zones are PvE (alto you can flag yourself for PvP)

- RP Core servers.  Same as before but with rules that will enforce RP.

- PvP Servers.  You will be flaged for PvP everywhere.

They didnt say anythign about PvE only servers.  And they may had change all these.

EDIT: in the core servers you dont have to "wait" for anything... jsut walk into an RvR zone or get into a BG and you will find troubles hehe ;)
