PvE, I'd never play on a PvP server. MMOG PvP servers basically act as player filters. Not saying there aren't cool people there, but when 12 year old Timmy wants to make the world pay because mommy and daddy wouldn't buy him that ipod, and is choosing a WoW server - which do you think he picks?

PvP. I choose a low population server so I don't get attacked much, but there is still the hightened sense of danger for being on a PvP server. Not sure if I'd like it on a high population server though.

Funner?

Anyway, you forgot the option for a role playing server. I don't play on one, but I've been thinking about seeing what all the hooplah is about.

Barely implemented pvp system doesnt work for me. Reserving judgement until battleground and honour system, but i'm not holding my breath for pvp in wow!

You can kill Horde in PvE also. I bet you guys can't tell me the differences between the two.

There is quite a large difference. PvE you have to be flagged for PvP play by doing one of several actions (attacking an NPC from the opposing side for instence), whereas in PvP you can always be attacked in contested or enemy territory (but not friendly).

whats wrong with it?
its fun and it works..

you guys still honestly think theya re going to put in an "honor" system
the only honor is going to be in the Battlegrounds and it will track kills and defeats... which is turned into points you can use to buy uber items...

there will not be an Honor system or any change to PVP outside the BGs..

surf the blue posts since release.. they are dead set agaisnt mucking it up with penalties for killing greys..

i like it its fun... you gank you get ganked its no big deal... its like playing WC3 DOTA
which is what it was ment to feel like

lol imo dota is way more fun than wow pvp. WoW pvp is pretty worthless to me right now, but then i've always said that about any pvp in the entire genre.

How do you know that's what it was meant to feel like? DOTA is a much better environment for pvp, more controlled, better penalties, cooler fights. I have some hope that battlegrounds will be more like dota, after reading part 2 of their previews it does sound like they're going in that direction. Controlled environment (player lvl and number limitations for one), defined tasks, valid risk/reward. The potential for a generally more viable and enjoyable player vs player experience!

The difference is 3/4 of the game on a PVP server I am open to be attacked by anyone anywhere...
on a PVE server. I have to
A; flag myself either by /pvp or commiting a hostile act..
B: sit around and wait for someone with enough balls to do soemthing about it...

on PVP server its wide open pVP from level 20-60
as soon as you get to Red Ridge expect horde to come...

the differnce is as a rogue I dotn have to announce my presence...
just run around in stealth looking for soloers or duo's to gank...

or if im with my guild we sweep through entire zones and kill everything thats red...

we did Ogrimmar other night and also the thunder bluff..
killing everything we saw in any contested area till we got to horde zones.. then we just provoked newbs into making mistakes and killed them too =P

Most fun ever... L55 rogue vs L20 shaman... sit on top of a mountain and shoot them with my peeshooter for 100 damage a pop... will drive them nuts lookign for whats hitting them... hahahah

no i didnt gank him.. just messed with him =P

Ya dont get me wrong.. i really enjoy fighting now...
but in BG when there is a possibility of reward thats gonna be a blast...
thats the main reason we have spent the last month farming the best weps and armour possible at L60...
we are already way better equipped then the L60 horde guild and they admit it.. they spend alot more time ganking our lowbies than farming gear...

but to each his own... they can gank now.. but we will be prepared for BGs =)

I have been trying a mix of pvp and pve, seeing which one i have a better feel for



Trying not to hijack the thread... but if battlegrounds for pvp only? or is it for all servers?
