I am also for one giant server.

I'm sorry PVP servers :\

Maybe give PvP people the option of getting transferred and if ppl want to stay at a lower PvP population (with terrible pvp rules...)....

Hmm, I feel like different channels being pvp/pve would be harder than servers, maybe not. Would get taken advantage of a lot though, people wouldnt need abls, just pvp channel and trade.. So Don't think that would happen, unless they took it away and made PvP'rs buy ABL's now.

Well i remember at one point after a patch or maintenance, on Reni, we had channel 3 that became PvP till they fixed it. So i think they can actually do that, make like a channel 5 for PvP for everyone and it's settled. Then people can start complaining about how the other player stole his gear etc lol, but that will be another headache for the GM's ;-)

Give a specific channel for PVP, and make it so you have to have the PK flag on for certain amount of time before you can kill or be killed, and a delay between clicking it off and actually leaving PK mode. That would eliminate peple running around looking 'safe' then hitting the flag for a sneak attack and clicking it off when they start to lose.
I like PVP battles, but not open PVP.

I think what Zid was trying to say is that for those who want to PvP openly can go to a specific channel (channel 5) while those who do not want to PvP can stay on channels 1-4.. This way people who do not like PvP can stay safe from other players while they are busy killing each other in a separate channel.

I would LOVE to have ALL of the servers merged into one, however, I'm not going to re-list my reasons why as they have been listed several times already. :)

At this point I feel a lot of the posts are really starting to jump the gun a bit. Any server mergers are a long way off yet (see page 1).

With that said, I'll again offer a word to the wise: merging servers is NOT the great game fix that many are seeming to believe it is. The list of potential failure points is rather long which is why most publishers/devs put off merging servers as long as they possibly can.

To illustrate this point, the most successful mmorpg to date (statistically speaking here folks, let's try to keep the hate and game bashing to a minimum) developed what appears to be a viable alternative to server merges. Keep in mind that this game has had character transfers and cross server instance groupinng for awhile now. If you want more info on that, google "wow patch 5.4 connected realms".

At this point, I think we are really better served identifying any possible alternative solutions but that's just my opinion.

If they merged all servers it would be good to have a PVP zone or channel. It should be high level and comes with a warning of "enter at your own risk." You get a 1 minute immunity as soon as you arrive (you can't PK and can't be PK'd), but as soon as that minute was up you were fair game. The additional benefit would be if guilds want to war against each other they could meet up in the zone and go crazy whacking each other. Not only would you have to look out for the other players but also the high level NPCs.

I think we need one answer before we really keep this discussion going:

Saito - Does anything we actually discuss/suggest in this thread have ANY bearing on the decisions of Runewalker/Frogster regarding this? Or are they going to do what they are going to do?
I don't support 1 Server. I just like the Anagram - GOAT GRIP!

I read his post and understood clearly what he said about a specific channel for PVP.
The problem is that you are not always on the same channel you logged out of, so simply logging on could place you on the PVP channel.
Requiring a conscious action the player needs to make before entering PVP would eliminate accidentally logging onto PVP

The PK flag is already in game, alternatives would be to have an NPC in each zone you can speak with to enter the PVP channel, or simply keep a separate PVP server.

Edit I really love a good fight, duels, guild battles, and a nicely balanced siege area blast, but I don't want to be on a full time PVP server.

I see, apologies.

A friend of mine who plays on the PvP servers asked his guild what they thought about just being on a PvE server, and he said 19/20 would love to be PvE. So...
