And Thank you Mithur... I cant remember, but il make sure to do it again

Anyway, PvP *IS* fun. Problem is some people just, care, to, much... Phrase that as you want

Interesting side note:

Had some connection issues to resolve on my son's puter as a result of him installing newdotnet toolbar. After finally getting it out and installing the new Zone Alarm (how i found out about newdotnet is it prevented ZA upgrade) I started initiating all the on line programs that he uses including MMO's to set all teh ZA authorizations.

In the process of doing so I stumbled upon a page listing all the US servers for an extremely popular MMO whose name shall not be uttered here. Here's the breakdown of their US server numbers.

No. of PvE Servers - 100
No. of PvP Servers - 102
No. of RP-PvE Servers - 16
No. of RP-PvP Servers - 6

No. of Total PvE Servers - 116
No. of Total PvP Servers - 108

Frankly I was surprised at the closeness of the numbers as I woulda thot the number of PvP servers would be much higher especially considering the average age of the target audience.

This is not meant to indicate anything more than the numbers show....that for their market the PvE and PvP crowds seem to be pretty evenly split the only anomoly being that for RP'ers, PvE is preferred there by almost 3-1.

If I was to take any relevance to Ryzom (my opinion here), I'd say that with a higher average playing age, the 50-50 split is conservative. But more importaantly that with this kind of split, the game really can't afford alienating either half of the audience.

PvP *CAN* be fun in a MMO, Ryzom is not one of them imo. PvP is kinda pointless here (besides OP battles), the skill and tag/untag system makes it a boring experience for me. I want a PvP system with some consequenses.

In other MMO's I always had atleast 2 PvP chars (good and bad guy). Playing or hunting a PK can be a real challenge for example, PvP system here is to boring for me to spend much energy on.

(off topic: I notice 22 RP servers compared to 202 non-RP... :-/
I hope that the distribution of players are more equal in Ryzom...)

We see so many threads about pvp it will come as no suprise if gameforge put their efforts into pvp related things rather than concentration on the more important things on atys the kitin and the goo are the problems and homins fight amoungest themselves.
