I'm curious as to what % out there are those true real " PVP All or nothing Hardcore players exist"

as well as the others that fall in between

Forum Poll

What kind of AoC Player do your consider yourself
Hardcore PVP - Full Loot Rule ganking approved
Hard PVP but rules should make things anti-exploitive
I'm in the middle I will play some of both, gimme some areas where I'm safe
Low PVP, prolly roll PVE and maybe do some Mini PVP games
PVE thought I wouldnt consider myself a carebear, just challenge me to a duel
Im a carebear and proud of it. PVP isnt my cup of tea

Not sure where I figure on your list,I am going to roll pve but I am looking forward to siege's etc,I wont roll on a pvp as I like to enjoy the game and take in the sight's without the chance of some 5 man ganking group comming over the hill on a griefing mission.

 edit-I see you added 1 that fits me nicely :)

Bump, I really wanna see some numbers on this. It seems like the Majority of vocal closed beta testers are of the Hardcore PVP and is this was the gauge Funcom used when working thru problems its no wonder it turned into a gank-fest

 

So far the Harcore no rule as is PVP is only 20%. If i'm in business to make a profit and I know putting grape jelly instread of strawberry jam on my Pb&J is gonna cost me 50% of my customers.  Im gonna get some strawberry jam. Business can be that simple

truth is in this weekend finale, taditional non pvpers are becoming hardcore though natural evolution by sheer necessity

Tesso is a case in point, a small town that is almost permanently spawn camped. If you're lucky and have a good fast machine you can usually escape unscathed, otherwise you start mashing the hot keys as soon as it loads.

Real harcore pvp'er are around, not many mind, but they are the most organised.

PS conquerors can own rogues 1 on 1 but it's currently a 2-1 situation 90% of the time. Bear shamans are hard as nails damn them.

 

Toodles.

I'm a carebear, mostly due to time constraints. Everything takes a longer time to achieve when getting killed all the time and with a full time job and young children you sort of want all the gaming time you get to actually be gaming time, not recovering from death time!

Anyway, if Funcom would just provide an RP-PvE server they could very well cater to most peoples tastes.

You really should have separated the Hardcore PvP category from the asshat ganker one, in spite of protests to the contrary by the second group, I'd have to contend that they don't go together at all.

Shadowbane used to be pretty brutal since it was FFA pvp with looting of everything but equipped items, not sure anymore (you could even attack your own guild members if you pleased). I would not consider UO hardcore anymore. They quarantined that aspect of the game.

Keep up the voting.

I've always considered myself a good PvPer and to certain point PvP is fun. Last night just showed me, maybe things are changing. I really enjoy more questing, grinding mobs and generally adventuring. Some PvP every now and then is a refreshing add but yesterday was a perfect example what happens if things go sh*tty. Not being able to talk to NPCs or even be out of stealth 1 minute, man Hyboria is a rough place.
I know yesterday was pretty extreme setup, everyone is lvl 20 and start from same place and maybe people are just experiencing the game mechanics. In some point I gave up questing and thought "oh well, let's gank then." and after few hours I was done and full of the Hyboria's excitement.

Yes, I'll go with PvE and try to see what else Hyboria is than silly ganking.

Shadowbane is still hardcore.  UO was not hardcore, it was a bunch of nude dudes on horses spamming fire blast.   Shadowbane you could lose months.. years of work in one night.
