/guildwar is technically in the client, just not hooked up to a slash command. Would be trivial to implement.

They let you touch da source?

You're assuming I would never join a /guildwar guild [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Now to be fair, I likely won't, or at least not initially. But I certainly wouldn't rule it out either. After all I did try playing on Red a couple times, before getting griefed off, and just because I gave up then doesn't mean I'm not interested in trying a viable (ie. no fungi-wearing de-leveled gankers) PvP system.

/guildwar as a replacement way to settle disputes is not a good idea. It sounds like a fun feature if you're using it to get good pvp in, but using it to lower the number of petitions would backfire hard.

kinda funny considering the resist code on blue, you will be getting whirl'd 100-0 by a nude enc toon

what happened to you on red?

have we had this conversation already?

Possibly? There's not too much to tell: I started an Iksar (Necromancer I think?) and tried to level him up. Got to like level 2 or 3 in Field of Bone, and then a fungi-wearing (presumably de-leveled) griefer showed up and repeatedly killed me. I lost interest in Red.

I'm sure lots of people will think "git gud", and that's fine if they do. But personally I'm not at all against MMOG PvP (I played on a PvP server in WoW and did LOTS of battlegrounds, I played the only RTS MMOG, Shattered Galaxies, heavilly, etc.)

In my opinion any good PvP system encourages real fights between two opponents that each have a reasonable chance of defeating each other. If your system leads to some asshole killing newbs over and over until the noobs quit (for the day, or from the server), I think the system needs improvement.

And that's why I think having "teams" of some sort is great (almost essential) to PvP, because it inherently "channels" that griefer energy in more productive ways ... and that's why I think /guildwar is exciting.
