I am very unhappy about the introduction of PvP if it means that someone can attack me without my agreement to fight! Its because I don't like that kind of game that I play Ryzom. I want a peaceful game that doesn't allow predation of the weak by griefers!

If this is the direction the game is moving towards I and many others will quit!

As long as they keep it in the areas they have specified, I am ok with it.

If it would only stay in areas with large fences that I couldn't accidentally wander into (like an areana) then it wouldn't be a problem for me to avoid it, but...

The most distasteful problem for me is the negative/hostile attitudes that will be fostered in this environment. You can already see them is some of the posts appearing today. Real Life is already too much of PvP place and I play games to socialize and have fun, not to be harrassed by bullies.

Just don't take anything personal. This should add a better sense of roleplay when characters really have something to fight for. If you don't actually want to take part in the fights then support your side with resources, etc. Nothing like competition to keep game play interesting.

I don't like it either, but if I read the patch notes correctly it only applies in 2 zones out of 100+ and you are given a warning when you enter and 30 seconds to get back out before you can be "ganked" so it shouldn't be a problem.


however if you try to sneak into one of those 2 zones in order to score some nice mats, you have to except the risk now, but there are plenty of other PR zones to get mats so it shouldn't be an issue

I am not a big PVP player, but as long as i don't have to partake, it is fine.

As long as I know where to go and not go. It is a big area with 4 different places to be. I am sure we can find someplace safe, if not take an escort with you.

But than again, I might partake in it if it is to serve my guild or save my friends. Will have to see what happens.

Relax and enjoy, it is a game. I never thought I would play a game like Ryzom took me several weeks to even try it. But now am totally addicted to it.

So things can change.

I am opposed to PvP except in the arena and the challenge system. This game intrigued me because I could play without being involved in PvP. When I can be attacked if I wander into an area to harvest, I will lose interest in this game and switch to something that keeps other players from attacking me. I do not mind the challenges. I can just decline. I do not mind the arena,but when you move it to places like the roots, you mean I cannot always avoid it. If the arena is too small, make it bigger to accomodate those who want PvP. If I wanted PvP, I would play Doom or something like that. Go back to the way it was before the latest patch, please.

Time will tell. Some of these zones must be passed through to move to other lands or areas. I dont' think its a good idea. I agree it brings out all the worst in people. It's done with, and for now the only thing we can do is leave. My account ends at the end of January, so I have time to see how this all plays out.

Some of their other ideas for PvP sound a bit more interesting and add real purpose to the world.

What you fail to understand is that foragers will be PRIME targets, by the time you can stop and stand up you are already dead. If they add looting to that...game ruined, nuf said.

What the VAST majority of ANTI PVPers are worried about is griefers camping us while we are trying to peacably forage. We don't ALL group with hunters for kicks ya know.
