[QUOTE=most PvPers are immature, pompous brats.[/QUOTE] I have to disagree, from experience myself.

PvP server-players are a minority group on SoE live. SOE always wanted to push this, but never was able to make it popular.

And BtW Cripp: hi! nice to see you around

The problem with PvP servers is the effort that has to go into making (and enforcing) all the "rules". If it was a FFA, kill or be killed, PvP server with no rules, it might work.

Also, experience dictates most PvPers are immature, pompous brats - and since they are the ones running PvP servers, the ones with potential do not last.

Thers a couple PVP servers now isnt there. Paradigm is one I belive and then theres CohPVP <- Just seen PVP in the name so I would assume pvp, but could be wrong.

You want PVP, GuildWars back in the day was the best PvP this project ever seen. Wont go into details cause I'm probably wrong because it was long ago, but I know that server had a load of people on there at all times.

I would gladly run a GuildWars server if it weren't for that "it's mine no one can have it" mentality. The moment anyone even attempts to run one, you get bombarded by asshats who crawl from under a 5 years silence who have nothing good to say for your efforts except "yours will suck compared to the orig noob". Not worth the hassle.

I believe I finally got ahold of the source, but without the data, I have no idea how to set it up.

Guildwars was a popular server back in the day, but PvP is just not for me full time. Sure, a little friendly combat of skills is great now and then, but I am a PvE guy plain and simple. Give me a gnoll anyday.

I had been working on a server where PvP was set in "contested" areas... however, a question I posed went unanswered (as usual) so I stalled. I think it would be a great mixture of PvE-PvP if you went into, say, LGuk Assassin camp and PvP was enabled, but outside that specific area, it was PvE.

Kinda like the city arenas are.
