You my friend Are a gorram GENIOUS!!! that would be perfect to help ease up on the lame ass jedi wars in all the cantinas and starports.. all the power gamers could gather in the same spot and leave the RP and just pve adventure types to play the game the way they want. I love it!

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).





I would play on a Full Factioned PvP server. I mean if once you join a faction you stayed special forces all the time. Till you dropped that faction.

I'd play on a factional-centric PvP server where there are balanced consequences for your actions. If a Rebel kills an Imperial in an Imperial-occuiped area, he should have stormtrooper garrisons all over him.

I would also join this server, only if other factions were in the game

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.

1- Factional Full PvP Server W/O Jedi would work best for me.


2- Full PvP (Limited Jedi) would also work...factions and law enforcemet would have to be re-worked though

Full, Semi-Full, Factional PvP Server: Nope. Been to that Rodeo in other MMORPG's. No safe zones = No Thanks, and nowhere to go where I'm not liable to end up in combat with another player isn't attractive either. Any server that is PvP-oriented is really only going to appeal only to those players that have great computers and great connections. Like Siege Perilous in UO: Great community totally underpopulated. The amount of Dev resources necessary to maintain a separate version of the code also makes a server like that the most likely to get closed down.



Factional Semi-Full is what we have now on Live. What we *need* is a third faction - Underworld. With that addition suddenly you have players making a choice on the servers. Bad relations with the Smugglers and suddenly that arms or armor shipment isn't quite so available, and if your name is on the "list" you don't get slices or spices. Being a Smuggler has some real meaning and some real dangers.


Jedi-Free: People would whine about Rifles or Pistols or CMs. No Jedi doesn't mean No Whining. People will complain regardless.


Right now I can PvP when I want to, in space or on the ground. But in reality the majority of players just want to log in and play the game, and not have PvP forced on them.

Full PvP Server - Jedi Rare. Not Jedi Free.

I play on a factional pvp server all the time. It's balanced, works great, and it's called Battlefront.


In this game, in it's current set up, none of those ideas would ever work. Unless of course it was combat only with no need to grind, as you can build a full template from the get-go.


A full pvpplanet would work better, as opposed to a whole server. Like if they ever added Hoth, make it full time pvp factional combat. That would be awesome.
