It is in this session that many revelations were delivered unto us. The first, there will be absolutely NO PvP at launch. You heard me correctly, there will not be duels, there will not be arenas, there will not be anything. Further, the developers refused to speculate on whether there ever will be. So if you are hoping for PvP, the wait may be a while. Senior Producer John Blakely said this, and when questioned about it, said that is the stance of the team at this time, and that there will be for 100% sure no PvP at launch.

I'm locking this thread because of the disappointing display of poor behavior exhibited within it. And I mean that less from the PvP fans upset that their preferred playstyle won't be in the game than from those who are gloating about it.

We didn't decide to drop PvP out of vindictiveness. It's a decision we made based on what we want this game to become. EverQuest II isn't a PvP game, and we don't have any plans to make it one.

We can understand if that changes some people's plans about buying the game. However, our decision is that we want to spend our development time on the PvE aspects of the game.

Yeah, I know that.

That's what you get when the only thing that matters is the time spent in the game to advance...

Once the technology advances enough for the MMORPGs to be basically huge FPS + adventure games, that will be awesome.

I don't mind getting killed by superior skill, but just because some kid lives in a basement 24/7 and would fry in the sunlight, because he plays a freakin' game all the time, can kill me and there is nothing I can do about it - that sucks.

Well, I see PvP as an endless event generator. The non-PvP stuff, like quests dugeons and all, cannot be in unlimited number (I don't count the "random missions", see what they look like in SWG...). So what happens if you succeed in doing every quests and dungeon out there, huh ? And it's likely to happen unless the devs know what they're doing, hence my first post
