No, I said put up the money to start a server from them and that would be paid completely by you and your group, the moment its not making money, its dropped. This venture would take an entirely new team, if there are so many of you out there..should be easy to pull up the amount needed for a new server and team right?
Do you really think ANet is going to let some of their consumers have the source code to this game? Serious changes to this game would be necessary to make a PvP server even remotely viable.
The only way for a FFA server to exist would be to start an illegal private server which is not a good idea because even if you were so inclined, there are better MMO’s out there to use as a base.
I think Ditton was suggesting that the group of players who wants the open PvP everywhere idea get money together and pay ANet to open and maintain a new server specifically for them.
As for the idea itself I’m not a supporter. If it does happen though then that particular server should have no WvW (not be part of the ladder) and have no options to transfer characters to or from it (no levelling to level 80 on a non-pvp server then transferring over). Personally, I would only be interested in trying it out if it also had permadeath (you die, your character is dead forever and all equipment on them destroyed/lootable by anyone passing by – make a new guy) but given the nature of the first suggestion I don’t think they want this.
Now that would be brutal! I don’t think there would ever be anyone there over level 20.
