Hi!
Have a couple of questions regarding the 2 differant types of servers.
1: PVP server..are these servers forced pvp or is it an option to participate in pvp? i ask because i both like to pve and to pvp for example im going to use SWG.. as many of you proberbely know but it is an option to pvp on there servers,you can either go special forces which flags you as pvp ready or you can go combatant which flags you as pve only,you can switch between the 2 as you like,does the pvp server offer this sort of mechanic or is it a case of you are marked pvp ready from the word go and can be attacked at any time?
there is no switching between pvp and pve?
2: pve servers i take it the only pvp on this type of server is dueling?

1. there will be 2 pvp servers. 1 will be free for all which means after a certain lvl which i believe its 7 anyone can attack anyone if they so choose. The other is a factions system, certain races are teamed. This kinda is pvp after lvl 7 also.

2. for now i beleive, one day there may be perhaps arenas of some sort.

Details on each ruleset

Free for all server:
Minimum level 7
20% soft level difference (explained below)
15% coin loot
PvE item durability is disabled on ability activation and PvP death causes a chance for each equipped item to take a large hit
Releasing your spirit after a PvP death takes you to your bind point. You will not drop a corpse.

Team server:
Minimum level 7
20% soft level difference
15% coin loot
Durability is no different than a PvE server
Releasing your spirit drops a corpse (with no experience loss) and transports you to the nearest altar
Defensive targeting and grouping is restricted

The Teams

Shadows of Kaerellun

Dark Elf
Kurashasa
Varanthari
Orc
Goblin
Vulmane
Varanjar
Lesser Giant

Order of Alurad

Wood Elf
Raki
Dwarf
Halfling
High Elf
Half Elf
Qaliathari
Mordebi
Gnome
Kojani
Thestran Human

Details as quoted from Elrar -

Quote:
We have support for additional teams, but we feel this is the best initial setup that supports the content and has people able to find opponents from a fairly low level.

The soft level difference means, while your ability to attack someone above the minimum level is unrestricted, if you are more than 20% of their level higher than them, they suffer no penalty and you gain no reward.

The percentages are easily adjustable and we will be enabling coin banking for PvP servers.

Here you go

2. PVE does not have any kind of PvP option atm, not even dueling.

1. -No than it wouldnt be a true pvp server, would it?
2. - Fyren's answer. Yes you are able to duel. I know this because I did.

there are a lot of players who like the idea of an optional pvp ruleset.
There a a hand of MMOs out there which had a nice optional pvp system.
But at the moment, vanguard has either forced pvp or PVE only

The RvR servers don´t allow you to chat with the other side and your group options are very very limited. One of the two faction is missing the paladin class, perhaps they will get inquisitor eventually i don´t know
