here ya go a quick quote from a poll about open vs core

The decision to roll on an open server or a core server is one of the most important decisions you will probably make. For those of you who have been living in a cave for the past few months, on a core server the only time your enemies can attack you is in the RvR zones. If an enemy ventures into your PvE zone, he will become flagged, and cannot attack anyone; he has to be attacked first, and then he can fight back. An open server on the other hand, the whole world is essentially an RvR zone, with the necessity for an unflagged character to attack a flag character in order to start fighting abolished.

A couple of friends and I are going to be rolling on open servers for our WAR career. Why you may ask? Well we are PvP nuts, thats why. What are you guys going to be rolling come launch?

so it looks like we want core considering our normal choices

Ug.

Skooter · Mod

Um I want an open server.

Grommit · Guru

I personally think that open servers will be more interesting. I don't want any stunties parading around the lands of destruction un-hindered.

Lodur · Guru

UG!!! ****ing suck ass designers!!! mother ****ers.

Core rules set sounds so ****ing cool for roleplayer... "Hi mr. order, nanny nanny you can't hit me im not flagged"

**** Ing Lame.

They messed that **** up. At least when they did DAoC the "safe zones" where only safe because they put enough NPC guards on the realm gates that no enemies could get in the "safe zones" ... actually it happened once or twice due to graphics bugs used to get by in cracks...

But ya - having the enemy run by and not being able to attack is FTL!!!

Open Rules Set or Gay Sex.

you want open server with pvp everhwere even in your pve so some little bastard can run up and gank you when your pveing... you do realize you can still attack them on core server, they just cant attack you (in your own home areas that is)

That is fine with me as long as I can do the same **** to them.

I don't really need a carebear server.

Really its not like everyone just wants to go out and gank everyone all the time. Really on a PvP server you won't run into it that often.

I don't want to wait for some order noob to come into my home area just so that I can pwn him. I want to be able to go into their area where their will be a ton of them and beat the snot out of them.

Just imagine the competition to kill other people if you have to wait for them to come over to your side to attack them.

Lame.

going open here would be equal to going to one of the mass pvp servers in eq2

I have done pvp on eq2 and it is a ton of fun.

If you want to PvE and don't want to be bothered just make sure you are in an area with guards or with other toons of your alignment.

Also when someone comes in to gank you and you slaughter them it is a ton of fun.

Its not like they can't just kill steal what ever your pve to piss you off.

Zad can you ask who ever put your balls in a jar if you can have them back?

lol umm you rmissing the point, its not like that everywhere, theres still pvp specific zones, the keeps and such will always be pvp zones, its not like on core everywhere is only pve, probably 40 to 50% of most zones will still be pvp areas. Its not carebare but its not rape and pilllage the pve guys either

Grommit · Guru

Open PVP also encourages grouping and co-operation within your Realm --- which is really what WAR is all about. I personally dont want my gaming experience to be "solo grind until max level and then PvP" ... I want my gaming experience to be "group PvP from level 1-40 and then group PvP some more".

zadrunus · Senior Member

lol you still can even on core, but you do realize that open will bring every little punk and his brother who wants to gank you in, oh and the chicken morph thats supposed to protect you from higher levin gankin on core (if your over the teir of the pvp are and y ou enter it you turn into a chicken literally) wont activate outside those said areas in open so yeah your leavin yourself open for higher level gankin in the pve areas where its not internally pvp flagged. Theres plenty of rvr to be had one core, thats where you'll find me, where i can enjoy pvp and pve both when i choose to not when some 12 yo and his little gay bastard buddies decide i need to.

Dont tell me it wont happen, every server i join thats open pvp, it ends up full of those little ****ers. (or people with the mental equivalent iq of those little ****ers)

Zad if your getting pwnd by little 12 year olds you might want to stick to the carebear server

Lodur · Guru

I agree the open will be more ganky. And that the Core rule set will have lots of PVP too.

It is just I don't like having Order ****ers run by and not be able to attack them. They should have prevented them from getting into the PvE areas. Not ****ing flags. Flags are so lame.
