    Please, just leave quietly.

     

    WAR isn't "real" PVP.

    Real PVP is Eve, where you lose a ship and think "hmm i just lost 1 month of work".

    In WAR? 15 minutes, or you pay to get healed.

    That's PVP for kids.

     

    I really can't comment much on Eve.  I played it briefly, but it wasn't my cup of tea.  WAR is "real" PvP when compared to WoW PvP.
     

    I don't define real PvP by what penalty your are assessed for dying/losing.  While WAR doesn't have a harsh penalty, the PvP is more meaningful than some other games.  I use WoW as an example, since people frequenlty make comparisons between the two.  WoW PvP is based upon 2v2/3v3/5v5 Arenas.  In these Arenas, you compete for gear.  Sure, the e-peen "I'm better than you" aspect is quite prevailent; but outside of that, the PvP is relatively watered down.  At least with WoW, you can actually wage a WAR; as the name says; Warhammer.  The "war" in Warcraft doesn't really exist.

    Now, we were to use your example as what "real" PvP is; Shadowbane had it.  Imagine spending months and boat loads of cash to build a great city; just to have it annihalated in a few hours. (MGA > BoS)

• • WAR is worth it for the hardcore

  • What kind of penalty do you want?  I mean honestly.  The typically penalties are usually $$$ nowadays.  In Shadowbane and WoW, you take damage on your gear.  Thus, you must spend $$$ to pay for it.  WAR, you spend a minimal amount of gold to heal your wounds.  The real penalty from WAR, outside of scenarios, is the Wounds reduction while in oRvR.  Unless you rez to the Warcamp instead of taking the rez from your healer; you will be unable to heal your wounds.  Thus, it adds up (Stacks to 4 times)

    Death penalties are fine, but excessive ones make the game unfun.

• • Server Transfers and the last few days...

  • Transfers have made a world of a difference.   Before, I rarely did oRvR or Scenarios.  T3 rarely popped, T4 was non-existant, and oRvR had zero resistance.  Now, they are non-stop and resistance comes almost immediatally.  These transfers are good for the game. Hopefully we'll hear news of someone sacking a cap city.

     Ok Whats the deal with the FREE char transfers.  I log in today and the recommend that I transfer my char due to low pop on the server.  

    just curious how many people are really playing this game. I mean I hardly see anyone at all at even though Im still tier 1 but DAMN, So far I feel like Im playing an offline game with some peeps passing by once and while.

    I would like to find a server that has some decent amount of peeps.

    Basically, you're being offered the chance to move from a low pop server to a med pop server.  In addition to the possiblity that their numbers might be off, they overcompensated in the 1st place and opened too many servers.

    From what I've read about the 4 destination servers, they having an active RvR core and scenarios are popping.

    I'm moving to Gorfang.
