You know the most people I've seen in the prime roots in the last week was all of 5, that's the most. Usually it's only 2 or 3, and you don't bump into eachother often, it's a pretty big place. I think everyone is seriously over-exaggerating the impact of pvp in the roots.
This is mostly due to the fact there isn't open pvp in the prime roots. If they were to add it, then there would be motivation for people to goto the roots just for the thrill of pk'ing someone.
I spend MUCH time in the roots, I know it is mostly empty. And that's because there isn't much to do there beyond harvesting at the moment (I have had a couple hunting groups down there, quite good xp if you can field a decent enough group down there, which in itself, isn't easy at the current state of most players).
But as time goes on, more and more people will have access to the roots, and it will become a problem, if not immediately, but definately as time goes on, as more people who are fond of rpk'ing gain access to the roots.
Dp is easy enough to work work off if you keep your forage near your level of fight. Takes me roughly an hour to clear out my max dp foraging. Once you hit max, who cares about dieing to mobs any more?

There's a difference between being a total megalomaniac, and posting their (and many others) concerns over a topic. Alot of people do not like the idea of opening up the entire prime roots to open-FFA style pvp in the roots.
These same people would have no problem if were set up like the factional pvp (Where on the test server it generally seems to be around an outpost, not an entire region). They would be more than happy to have it just around the outposts in the Prime roots, since they can still avoid the pvp areas and work on their PR forage.
Choice PR mats are no different than Choice lakeland/forest/desert/jungle except for their colour. Excellent and supreme are down there, true. But other civilizations have similair options for Excellent and supreme mats (I know the Matis have the Nexus as an option, and I've heard Fyros can find supreme mats somewhere, dunno about Zorai but heard rumors they did, and I bet no one has found supreme mats in tryker lands yet.)
They are trying to find a solution with the 'least possible negative impact' so if 40 people are for open pvp in the roots, but 80 people don't like this idea and would avoid the roots all together, and 80 people quit because of it, how do you think they should weigh their decission?
We are all just voicing our personal opinions on the matter. It's nevrax who makes the final decision on what goes and what does not go into game. So your conversation is kinda bunk in how its played out.
It's more like:
You :O K fine. What they want. No PvP in the PR. I considered it. Now, what about what I want? PvP IN the prime roots. Consider that?
Nevrax:We did, having seen the general public reaction over it we decided on <insert nevrax's alternate pvp implimentation here>.
You:<I don't know what you would say here>.
). With the second option, you'd run into severely low player populations at the moment, not enough to justify having a full server for it for each community.
I guess at account selection we could do this (i can't remember) but it would be nice to be able to do it at character selection...might be able to at least somehow get a playerbase SOMEWHERE, this REGIONAL thing might have been done to prevent lag issues, but if you give us the option, we could all flock to one main server and be happy... we might not understand each other but at least we will be in the same server... but to do that... you would have to special taylor it so the text would show up in each language depending on what language he choses during setup... that might be the only hold back...
