I would definitely go back. 100%.

No, Open RvR simply means your PvP flag is always enabled..

PvP is antithetical to Fantasy Role Playing. 

PvP and Fantasy Roly Playing are mutually exclusive concepts.

Mmog players want a High Fantasy World with Immersive and complex Story Arcs and GM Events, not loons running around ganking each other.

 I hope Fury goes the way of Shadowbane because the sooner this ridiculous urban legend dies that "players want PvP" , the sooner we'll get gameworlds that real mmogers want to live in.

 

I think you are grossly over exaggerating. PvP and Role playing are definitely NOT mutually exclusive concepts. Look how popular WoW's arena's are. The problem with Fury was not lack of interest in PvP, it was just a series of bad decisions and improper executions on the part of the developers.

I played Fury from early beta up until a few days ago when they released the recent patch. I can honestly say that the game was more balanced and I had more fun playing it in the BETA. In the most recent patch they took what was wrong with the game and made it worst, quite consciously I might add. As a result most of the competitive players and clans have left, including myself.

There was never anything wrong with the PvP mechanics per se, it was fast-paced, intense, it was furious. It's just all the other things they didn't get right. Skill balancing was a major issue that should have been worked out in beta, equipment played to much of a role in a "skill-based" game, the game wasn't sufficiently marketed, the tutorial was horrible and new players didn't know what the hell was going on, among many others.

I think the major misconception that led to the ultimate downfall of the game however is how Fury got labeled as an mmo RPG. It is in no way shape or form an RPG, it's really more of an action game. Over the months I've played, I actually heard new players ask several times where the mobs were. Because there are skills and armor and weapons the MMO community branded it as a RPG, as is evident by it's listing here at MMORPG.com. This misconception coupled with poor execution, is why Fury failed, NOT because there is no market for PVP.
