Server Rule-set; FFA PVP, Full loot. No safe havens

[Illomen1]

At least one of these per game is always fun.

This server will directly cause an entirely different type of MMORPG player to buy the game and sub.

More customers is always a good thing.

Sure FFA server's were never very successful in some games but RIFT is the new thing and very polished. Combine that with a FFA server and it's sure to do well.

DAOC's FFA server's weren't the biggest success but why would they be when RVR was crazy good pvp?

Adding a FFA PVP server to a primarily PVE game can only help it. Adds an entirely new dimension to the game.

EQ1 had a FFA pvp server and it was VERY successful because the game was mostly PVE orientated so the PVPers could get their cake and eat it too.

signed x10 but unfortunatly I don't think it's gonna happen because most people who hate the idea of that kind of server will bash it and screw it up for the group of people who do want it. "it breaks lore etc" I've tryed pitching that idea in beta alot and can only hope trion gives it a shot

on a side note tho I've also pitched many threads in beta about daoc style rvr zones with towns/keeps to capture that would open a rift in the center of the huge zone or cluster of zones which rewards the entire faction a bonus of say, 10%dmg and 10%favor/prestige gained until the opposing faction takes over all the towns and reopens the rift again to kill the boss themselves.

or something along those lines, daoc style with a rift spin on it ya know?

i fully support this message.

[mtndew]

Want. But, I doubt there'd be enough population to fill it up.

[Coinside]

Asherons Call PVP server was the most populated if done right it's super fun.

I'd guess you are imagining there is a "demand" for a FFA, Full Loot, No Safe Haven, server in Rift. But if that's really what you want then I would suggest playing Lineage II. It has FFA PvP with Full Loot and there will be "No Safe Haven" for you once you've killed another player.

[Scionical]

This seems like it would be really fun for occasional play or for the niche of the community that wants it, but I doubt Trion would pay out the money to keep a server going just for that. Not saying it's a bad idea or that I wouldn't pop in and play on it from time to time, just that I don't see it happening.

Like the idea but would prefer to see 1 item drop rather than every item you have otherwise i can imagine it would involve a lot of playing at 3am to try and get some gear from pve so you can pvp whenever you die unless you happen to kill enough people early to get a few spare sets

and to spice things up even more, let rifts spawn on towns in the middle of the night when no one is on to defend it and take them over making them go neutral.

off topic I know, but just trying to get the word out. maybe I'll post another thread on this topic later when I'm not on my phone at work lol

Eq1 even had a server like this. They had a much lower budget and the MMORPG market was very low player wise compared to what it is now.

I am pretty sure they can afford to create 1 server with this rule-set.

[FinalplayerRyu]

You can have one if you like, but personally am not turned on by getting/losing all Equip. I would rather see PK your own Faction Option on PvP Servers.

[SabreWolf]

Would not work with the way loot is obtained..

Worked perfectly for games like Asheron's Call tho.
