Faction and PvP

[lethdar]

It was any mob. Attacking someone who was ally to chardok while kindly would get you facefucked etc. Same for in ToV, or next to a bard / enchanter who faction songed the pod, attacking a cleric near the cleric guild in rivervale, etc etc. It wasn't just limited to guards.

For sure in ToV in particular as I can remember playing a good team cleric meleeing a some evil melee at the hub. She knew enough not to attack back due to the faction but didn't realize that riposte would eventually get agro on her equally well.

Was this how it was on live?

I'm always in favor of keeping NPC's out of pvp as much as possible.

This would come in to play a lot more in kunark/velious where there's a lot more faction oriented zones. I wouldnt want NPC's getting involved to ruin a pvp fight in Chardok/Kael/ToV because 1 person had slightly better or worse faction.

yep, and if i remember correctly... (might be wrong though) if you were dubious guards would assist the assailant if their faction was higher if you fought back.

player 1 - amiable.
player 2 - dubious.
p1 attacks p2.
p2 fights back.
guards assist p1.

factioning was pretty important back then...cross factioning screwed up a lot of peoples' days iirc.
