Title: IS this game pvp at all?
Post by: Kalico on September 14, 2003, 08:41:12 pm: Is it??
Title: Now or later
Post by: elscouta on September 14, 2003, 08:47:29 pm: Actually the game is really not PvP since there is no fighting, no monster

For later, devs and players discusses in another forum if there will be PvP or PK. As far as i know there will be PvP (guild wars, players duel) but not PK (newbie hunt, murders...).

Post by: Grakrim on September 14, 2003, 09:03:16 pm: In the broadest sense of the word, yes, PS is PvP at the moment. You see, PvP and PK isn\'t the same thing; PvP doesn\'t even imply combat (ATitD is PvP, in a way). The PvP element present in the game at this time is the Crystal Hunt.
Title: no
Post by: elscouta on September 14, 2003, 09:03:53 pm: We all wait for the next release which will provide fighting. It may come before the end of the current year...

[edit] same time ;-)
oops, i didn\'t know that PvP includes non-fighting competitions. I have learned something today :-p

Sooner or later (most likely later, much later :P ) there is going to be arena\'s, competitions, and guild wars, plenty of PvP.

Free-range Pking is a definite no (or as definite as it can get)

Next time, read up on the subject and you will find your answers.

Yes, and no. Try reading up stuff in the PvP forum instead of posting in the General forum... :) But there is no such thing as \"Free PvP\" and \"JajAjA N0b00b dIE!!!!\" Sorry...

Actually there should be an arena and pvp competitions in Crystal Blue, according to Moogie Surveillance and Intelligence. :P

Arena fights and competitions would automatically become full PvP of course, so that everyone would be able to engage each other.

Or... you could use a certain system where you turn PK on and off.
Example, Bob kills John Doe, but wants to stop PKing for today and is forced to wait for 15 minutes (Just an example) before he can turn PKing off again.

Post by: Kiva on September 18, 2003, 03:23:04 pm: Methinks Kiern is right ( for a change :D ) ... Even if PvP arenas and competitions are to be made (they will be made, don\'t worry), I believe the Oh-So-Famous-And-Loved Dev. team won\'t bother with PvP or PvP arenas until more of the other game aspects are done - like the game itself, just to make an example. :P
