3) ND has carefully sidestepped the questions raised on this board about PvP.

I'd say some form of PvP switch/Safe Zones will be in.

All true, and I think you may very well be right about switches/zones. I just wanted to bring up a point about item #2:

While playing WoW, almost all of us who played Jumpgate ridiculed how lackluster the PvP was when compared to Jumpgate, and reminisced about how great the personal nature of Jumpgate conflict was.

On a side note, WoW is a PvE game at heart, with vast amounts of PvE content, whereas Jumpgate is not. Limiting WoW PvP works just fine, because players can go run Molten Core or enjoy other time sinks... Not so much in Jumpgate. I know this is a moot point, because limiting PvP in Jumpgate likely won't apply to HG on HG conflict, but I thought it was still an interesting point.

Of course. That's how we roll.

No, just trying to keep my site alive in a highly competitive environment. It sure would be easier if you guys were out there posting links to here.

What is this "out there" you speak of? JSR is the only non-prawn site I'm aware of.

LOL, somehow I believe that.

Lol, Liet almost griefed my keyboard, I was very close to spitting Big Red out of my mouth when I read that.....fucking classic.

As of today there is no decision on how PvP will work in Jumpgate Evolution so I would not read too much into anything... In the version we are running now it works exactly the same as it does in Jumpgate Classic.

For beta at least, please at least roll it back to the Civ/HG tag only, and then rethink the rest again, pretty please.

Thanks for the clarification Scorch.

[Tritian]

thanks for the clarification, and I echo netburnrol's feelings regarding nix'ing the MT system.

[Liet]

Yep. Civ/HG allows for much more varied roleplays. The current tag system is a limiting mess.

Thanks for the clarification, Scorch.

Id stress to go into old beta mode no tags :P
