IDEAS FOR RYZOM

Ok, here is the question, you can post your pros/cons about it and clarify what you want

For those of you who want more pvp in the game, Is it just the fighting you want?
For example: my thought was just to lower the cost of declaring for an OP war, then there may be tons of them! Or, is it the hostile actions (or Roleplay attitude) between kami and kara and even marauders that you want along with the fighting?

on a personal note: i like a little bit of all aspects of Ryzom, I don't know why some only like pvp and cant play the game unless they have it. If you want it, start it! pick fights! Its not hard. But when its not there, you will leave the game, You need to broaden out your interests imho! If you say you have other interests, then introduce them to the Dev team, become involved, make it work. One example: Cookies event for Gladiator event, that was brilliant and worked out splendidly, even though i didn't participate.
One homin said many got burned out on op fights after merge, so what do you want?

It was a different situation when those players left the game: a merge had just happened and all OPs were on stake, the faction balance had not settled yet.

Its not easy/nice for some to be attending battles every 2 days with no rest in between, that is what burnt out most, including me.

Lowering the cost for a declare is not the solution imho, as i personally wouldn't want a low level guild declaring constantly on my q250 OP whenever they have raised the dappers for it, the way i see it, it would only increase guilds 'harassing' one another by constantly declaring to no avail, and again, endless battles can burn out players.

As Bittty mentioned in another post, and i completely agree with him on this, something that would trigger more OP wars could be more balance between the factions, because if you have a better chance to win at something you will likely risk it: e.g i wont craft an item with 5% success rate but at 50% i might consider taking the chance. How to make the factions more balanced though? RP? Changing guilds? I don't know, personally i don't like people who change factions as to me they don't have loyalty towards those who helped them become what they are now; I'm not much of a strict roleplayer either.

...Another thing to consider for increasing the frequency of OPs is the actual cooldown period on them, i don't remember what it is but when an OP is declared on, it is blocked for a certain period of time..

Anyways, just my thoughts.
