Eve isn't fully open pvp. There are safezones.

 

which makes it successful. Eve has a happy medium. And tbh if earthrise doesnt, and does have "full loot open pvp everywhere", its going to drive alot of players away. You need a balance, which of course im sure the developers will understand. I'll wait for more info before i bash a game because of a small segment in some devlog or QOTW.

Earthrise will, if you check through the forums, there will be high security zones for people who dont like watching their back constantly. Though the areas are safe, the real rewards will be outside in low to no-security zones, mainly rare resources and such.

And there is no sense worrying about Exp in a skill-based MMO :P

Most that happens to you when you die is you lose whatever isnt insured, and even then there is a window of time where you can pay a fee to get the items back if they arent looted, though not everything is insurable, and the one who killed ya gets a cut of what you had to pay for insurance and whatever else there is lol

and they have a nice amount of QotW if you check, some are very interesting reads, specially the current one released, which promises to break the grind that PvE can be.

safe zones mean I'm "safe" from all pvp. In EVE this is never true. EVE has 'safer zones' but never 'safe zones'.

Not to mention if you ever ever join a corp any corp can wardec ya. That means they can get you anywhere

There is no safezones in EVE. Safe zones is what players make for themselves in 0.0

many DEvs have tried Full Loot pvp and the game died or they just forgot about the idea altogethor... I mean Look at AoC right now the WoW fanboy whimps cried and now FFA is going away.

AOC didn't go live with it, they chickened out.  I think there are a lot of features that a new game could make succcessful if they are willing to break with the WoW mold.  Earthrise is looking to do that with a few things, and this hopefully will be one of them.

In EVE large alliance pvp will almost certainly involve your top modules (t2) (faction stuff is left for carriers and motherships). Any alliance doing any serious pvp will refuse to let you in fleet unless you are flying fully t2 fitted ships. Minor exceptions are made but those are rare.

Ive seen 1st hand people ridiculed within fleet for either bringing t1 ships and modules.

That being said i think Earthrise will do just fine with full looting so long as getting back on your feet isnt something that can me recovered in fairly reasonable time. I look forward to this game since it may be the one game that breaks the mold like EVE has. May not see 12349087895634587 subs but thats not really important so long as it has a decent number and a good community.

UO had full loot, and i can imagine that ER will have the same perfect system as UO did.

And gear will be easy to replace. I cant wait to someone release sandbox MMORPG. Games without freedom and complexity maybe for you, but for me, its sandbox style!

Yes UO had full loot. And it was such a disaster that they got rid of it. And no game has done it since.

Yes, and look at how many full loot Fel servers there are now through RunUO.  A lot of people were outraged when they put insurance into UO, myself included. 

A related note, the game's community was several times better before they added insurance.  Between Tram and insurance, the game and it's community went straight to Hell.

Once a true sandbox mmorpg will be released, it will have huuge community.

People from sanbox uo shards come in, angry people from the Darkfall will join too. Not mentioning the very huge base of people from SWG, who left after the NGE hit.

All in all, there is a very massive huge amount of people waiting for freedom and complexity. Iam one of them.

I remember making my first nail

which was used in making the chair

I miss the taming my very  first horse

Let Earthrise show everyone sandbox course.
