I like the idea of PvP in a more anarchy style fashion.
However, I will easily admit that many people don't.
Go play shadowbane for 5 minutes (after leaving the noob isle) and you'll see how out of hand it can be. High levels willsit around and gank low levels for lack of anything better to do.

How about specialized PvP districts in these towns? Or maybe PvE zones that function like town districts and have PvP? Set them up to work like the normal towns/outposts do now, but allow PvP and party grouping. Put a handful of cool incentives to be there (maybe a specilailized weapons upgrade merchant or something) and it will be incentive for mostly high levels to be there. Surely the idea of a less organized PvP area is not bad. This game does come across way too carebear in that sense. This way, you would still have a choice over the matter, but the more daring of us could go and fight randomly, too. That would be sweet.

It'd be very exploitable, in that regard.

So, the only safe way to do it, would be to make the 'in-city' PvP operate in a district, and offer no benefit.

However, this would not solve Talesin's problem, since he was dealing with verbal grief. The verbal griefer probably would not be willing to go into the pvp district, nor could Talesin force him to.

So, there would be nothing gained at all from this.

A duel system could be rather cool, though, just for the sake of practicing. Especially if parties of equal size could duel.

I will agree here. No XP for random PvP. Only XP for random team vs. random team organized fighting like what exists now (or tournament, etc....you know what I mean).

Just a suggestion....I would be doing a fellow gamer a disservice by NOT suggesting it.

I tried that a while back, I didn't like the whole space ship sort of thing. It looked beautiful but was a bit too complicated and too star-trecky for my tastes.

The thing I think would be great about GW having the style is simply...almost everyone has a lvl 20 character, there wouldn't be any spawn camping by high lvls because everyone is at a high lvl. Just a lot of even lvl people fighting like hell.
