it was a heated moment zehrix, we all reacted poorly. i consider the issue as being settled at this point, i thank you for posting here, to me that's a show of good faith and that the event in pr was an accident caused by lack of information. i would also like to say that i'm sorry for the way that i reacted, it was very bad of me to act that way regardless of the events that transpired.
virg: first i love ya man so please don't get mad at me for this:
if one reads the fearutes page on the main ryzom page it clearly says: "Consensual PvP" to anyone that's played MMO's that means that the game will NEVER force you to do pvp unless you choose to "tag up", since there are forced pvp zones and the wording under the "consensual pvp" is vague at best, perhpas the site should update the post to be clearer in what "consensual pvp" means. part of what made me personally want to play ryzom was this very feature. i wanted a game where player vs player did not prevent a player from enjoying everything the game has to offer PvE wise. then i learned that i could NOT enjoy the full PvE parts of the game due to forced pvp regions. (and i know you will say that there are parts of PR that do not have forced PvP, but the minute they make a region forced pvp, it becomes a limit to the players that only want pve.)
i also feel that forced pvp zones restrict a player (like myself) that would like to see and explore all of atys. there are NO pvp points given in forced pvp zones (which is good because that would only make random pointless attacks happen more) so the only reason to attack a peaceful homin in a forced pvp zone is to make the play of that player harder, thus turning them away from various regions. while most players will not attack a peaceful homin in a forced pvp zone, there are others that will take advantage of the chance to kill someone for NO reason other then because they can.
i do understand that forced pvp for super nodes is a structured part of the game, but the better setting for this would be to make the region forced pvp ONLY as long as there are super node mat's to be had. or say the first 12 hours after a season change or server reset.
anyway, that's a little off the main topic but still on it some ways as well.
