Open World PvP is ALIVE!!!!!!

One of my favorite things on the internet...

For those of you unfamiliar with this expression, google it and look at the resulting video...

these are also the same people that keep whining for new pvp servers to be opened up by blizzard when nearly all of the pvp servers in wow have only medium populations.

why? so they can be first to 85 and gank lowbies day in and day out.

Next time try taking Mid on Ilum.

PS. I does look like fun. Thinking of fun new things to do is what MMOs should be about.

Like I said earlier - the key to OWPvP being fun right now is organizing it. Sad we have to do that, but TOR isn't designed that way right now.

If the major guilds on your server know about it in advance, the crying doesn't happen. You just have a good, old fashioned slobber-knocker and then head on about your business when everyone gets sick of it. All it does is add a sense of realism and factional pride to your server.

One can only hope that eventually they add some elements that are conducive to spontaneous PVP in this game, so all the kids that never got to experience it can find out what they're missing. Until then, there's no reason you can't open up communication among everyone on your server to set things up. Improving relations with your friends and enemies is never a bad thing.

Actually we've taken over illum many times. Been there, done that.

Ok...if your reward is a sense of accomplishment (i.e. fighting for fighting's sake, for the sheer fun of it) then we're on the same page. If your reward has to be some kind of gear or ability...not so much.

Ok, it is possible, granted. But have you actually arranged an event?

I'm a guild leader - to arrange any kind of event it can take a good while. Ops which have 8 man is hard enough. Not only do you have to get your players online at the same time, you also need to get them to the right place at the right time with the right gear/stims/meds blah blah blah. This does take a while!

Next, try telling 30 grown adults what to do... and see if they all follow your instructions to the letter! see if they wait patiently for everyone else to get ready and arrive.

Attacking an unarmed base is one thing, setting up a defense against a 22 man guild camping the port-in is something else!

If you're expecting 30 random people to drop what they are doing to go all the way to a planet where there are no rewards, then it's a rare chance indeed. Not saying it won't happen or that it hasn't, all I'm saying is with other things in the game, this is unlikely.

The fact this Exile group stayed for hours is something I'm laughing at purely because there is no challenge nor purpose for it.

it happened once from all servers and suddenly its alive lol

No, but you claim having numbers don't make you a hardcore PvP'er. You being a member of the Zerg tickles me.

True statement, but it has nothing to do with me. I never played WoW and generally look down on those who consider it to be some sort of MMO pinnacle when, in fact, it represents nothing more than a cater-to-the-lowest-common-denominator, mass-marketing of the genre.

SWTOR at least can cliam to have a compelling story, if not much more challenge.
