"In EVE, no one gives a damn about a fair fight." - chafin

Looks like the OP is going to have to decide what is more important, getting ganked or role playing.  Wait, you could role play on a PVE server right?

Expect the killing to go on,and it will hurt, and hurt.

You have to play very defensively on a PVP server, especially when soloing or focusing on PVE content.

Its not for everyone, hence they make PVE servers for those who don't care for it.

the problem with the griefing in most cases, is that its not nearly as organized as some of you are making it out to be.  It definitely isnt as glorified as some of you are making it out to be.

for instance, its usually individuals ganking you before you zone in.  You go into a zone to do a quest and see a loading screen, when you zone completely in you're an inch from your life with 2 people hacking at you and die almost instantly.  The whole time theyre jumping around and when you die theyre already down around a hallway.  Sometimes they camp, sometimes they leave and you never see them again. 

you cant counter that no matter how you want to paint it.  Its very widespread.  There are some groups that hang around places for long stretches of time but theyre dealt with soon enough.  Its the lone wolves and random people who just zip in to a spawn point, kill the first lowbie they see and vanish.  For all you know you've grouped with them before or will be helping them in a quest 20 minutes later because you never caught their name.

Roleplaying on PVE servers doesn't exist. Go look at the roleplay question thread about cimmeria and wiccana (or whatever that PVE server was called).

Why do you need the "RP" tag on the server name? Lots of games dont have official RP servers,  but their unofficial ones are the most populated, or one of the most populated.

I wanted a pve-rp server on this game, but it looks like Funcom is going to say the rp rules are on the pvp server (for whatever lame-brain reason). But I dont have any delusions that they will enforce them.

If you don't like it go to the PvE server.  Why do you think Funcom will add rules to the PvP servers to prevent this when half the servers available already have those rules in place?   If the PKs get organized then it is the responsibility of the Antis to organize as well.

And you call THIS a gameplay ? This had NOTHING to do with PvP.

So the kiddies not only like pixeled tits but destroy the fun by taking advantage of the one BIG failure Conan has:.....   loading screens which take sometimes ages.

So you are killed while your computer load the graphics.

Let me guess: the slower the computer the faster you die.... LOL

Conan Gameplay: just HOW desperate are you all ???

So this is "balanced PvP gameplay??? for all you fans of Conan ??? while Blizzard invested millions in dollars in game balance up to a microscope with the Arena system (and gets attacked because they can now analyse to fine tune even more)...

This is just gameplay for 9 year olds.

Wow ,beats me you can call this a gamedesign.

Roll on a PvE server. Don't pay $15 month to be content for sociopaths.

I have to agree, despite how the gankee feels.  It's a open pvp server, expect open pvp.  If you don't want open pvp don't roll on one. 

IT's like playing wow and complaining that a horde camped you for a hour.

It's a pvp server.
