Guild Wars 2

I’m not saying to make all servers this way but the one thing I miss from other games is the ability to kill people anywhere and any time. I think that knowing that you could be ambushed at any time adds a certain amount of danger to the game which I personally find enjoyable.

Having a type of server where you can kill anyone in the open world would be a new and fun way to play. Perhaps designate event zones as safe zones to prevent confusion with AoEs and whatnot.

Rather than responses like “this is a bad idea because I’m a PvE carebear” how do others see this working? Would this option add or take away from the game?

ANet addressed this question awhile back stating that all the races are working together to bring a greater good back to Tyria. Thus giving us the ability to kill each other in the open world would be counter productive to that idea.

I understand where your coming from, pvp servers were what I played as well. Unfortunately I don’t think we’ll ever see that in Guild Wars 2.

I think that a lot of people would enjoy this, but I also think that a lot of people would be abuse this. It’s one thing if I’m walking around, knowing that another serious player can at any time attack me… And it’s another to have a bored group of immature kids who decide to troll to start attacking me over and over again. This would be so easy to abuse.

Thats why the only people on those servers would be the ones who want to play in a world like that. I would love to be able to attack other players or form an in game gang and take over a bridge or something and insist that anyone who wants to cross has to pay a toll. Just because all of the races are working together doesn’t mean that there can;t be a few bad apples :-P
