General Discussion

The game I'm currently playing, called shadow of legend, is incorporating more and more PvP elements. As I remembered it, some big guy of game designing has warned that, killing among players has to be avoided, or at least played down in a MMORPG, which emphasizes cooperation and friendship.

Well, what do you have to say about this?
 

pvp?  equal to  killing?  i like peace  more LOL in the game, i f you don't kill me, i will try to kill you back. mostly i don't PVP others actively..

  I love PVP in online FPS games like Battlefield 2 or Team Fortress 2. MMO PVP I personally find very lacklustre as I prefer twitch over click. I'm a hardcore FPS online PVPer, but for MMO's I'm PVE, but to MMO click feast PVPers I'm a carebear, but I can llive with being a carebear in MMO's.

pvp in games that im currently playing is a little ok

i just hate it when it lags on a crucial moment then when the game returns to normal ur already dead XD

I love PvP. Not only from the Roleplayers point of view in search for realism. But also as a gamer, because of the challenge. After all, humans usually don't play scripted.

But there are several reasons why I am usually not playing on a PvP Server of any given game. The main reason are the ganking idiots that kill anything, just because they can. Not only do they disturb the playing experience of other gamers, it is also very unrealistic. There is no game that has a decent criminalization-system out there. But something like tha
