How many of my Smuggler bretheren would play on a:


Full PVP Server-

On this server anyone can kill anyone else at all times. However you don't get XP or FP for doing so (unless they are aligned with an opposite faction- Reb/Imp). Remember, This would also mean people could blow up your vehicles and pets at anytime and you are bound to have gank squad gangs roaming around to blast anything moving.


Semi Full PvP Server-

You have the option of turning off your PvP status on this server and cloning automatically switches you to "covert". You can toggle your PvP status with a 5 minute timer to go from one status to the other.


Factional Full PvP Server-

The GCW is PvP on this server. Once you join a faction you are "Overt" and stay that way until you quit your faction or clone (5 minute and you are overt again). If you are not in a faction youcannot go PvP.


Factional Semi Full PvP Server-

This is the same as above however you have a chance to toggle between being active and going on leave (5 minute switch).


Any of these servers + Jedi Free-

Title says it all. Just name the Server and put Jedi Free on the end.




Again, the question is- which server, if any, would you start a new character (or move your main) and play on regularly? (List the sever and the reason if possible, please).

None if everything else stays the same as it's currently on Live.

However, I would play on a full-PvP server with properly developed factions (including various criminal ones), zones of control and law enforcement - similar to the situation in EVE Online (yes, there's actual smuggling there...), even with Jedi or to be more accurate, force wielders. Not in ridiculously high numbers, of course - just a few.

Would entertainers or crafters ever play on a full-PvP server? Doubtful. I've thought about this before, too. It would be kinda cool, but it only works in games like WoW where everyone plays a fighting class and your profession is secondary.

Now the Jedi free servers? Sign me up.

I could see that happening.


Smuggler Joe is watching Dancer Kate.


Idiot Bob runs in and shoots Dancer Kate dead.


Smuggler Joe: You IDIOT!


Smuggler Joe in turn shoots Idiot Bob and kills him.



I'd play on a full faction PvP server with no jedi. And I might try a full PvP server just for the kick of shooting the people who run around shooting people.

I'm not into PvP, but I'd gladly play on either of the semi-PvP servers as long as it was non-Jedi.

Well, full PvP would allow for various player-posted bounty systems (not to mention that mercenary/enforcer/hunter characters would pretty much become a necessity).

I'd play a full PvP server if it was set up with consequences. Meaning if you act like an idiot and just try to kill people, you end up with bounties on your head, because you're a psycopathic murderer. It seems the simple way to fix this would be a /command that only works outside of factional fights, bounties, and duels. Infact, you could double it up by making two commands. /killer and /protector

If someone is minding thier own business, and then they suddenly get blown away, they use /killer on whoever took them out. In a similar situation, someone is about to get blown away, but a third party starts fighting the attacker and wins, well, its likely the idiot will use /killer on the good samaritan. However, because the first person was attacked, he can use /killer on the idiot, or /protector on the good guy.

X number of /killer votes gets a bounty on your head. Every /killer vote can be negated by a /protector vote. Since combat has to take place before either of these votes can be cast, you won't have idiots just standing around using /killer on the random passerby.

Then make it so that someone can't use /killer or /protector more than once on a single person, and you have a fair PvP consequence system.

95% of thefriends I have in gameare on eclipse (reset are you guys in the forums), I've been there since day one so no on all of them. But not because they are not a good idea, eclipse is my home and I love that server. Now I will tell ya, I hope they do come up with a full PVPplanet,that would be alot offun.




[edit for an idea]


I will add that they could have you load into a "secure" base (rebel or imp) that can not be attacked by the other faction, this will cut down on load kills. Once in the base you can then go out into the world to fight.

I wouldn't play on any full pvp server at any time.. too many idiots in the game for that to be fun for me and i think for the most part pvp kills RP unless a lot of maturity and work go into the encounter.. so not bloodly likely even on starsider which is a good rp server


I would switch to one of the semi pvp servers if it was non jedi, that being said i would prefer a server the way it is now with no Jedi.
