Nice post. I always wondered how it would be to play PVP on a PVE server… now I know. I am glad I played on a PVP server from the very beginning. At least then you are prepared for how people behave. Better the devil you know…

[...] a dammed interesting post from MMOG Nation– it’s a take on what a PVPer will experience if they transfer to PVE and then stay flagged like [...]

I recently was listening to some friends on Teamspeak that decided to move all their toons to a PvE server from a PvP server. The reason for the move so they could do dailies and other quests in peace. But I soon discovered by listening to them, more tretchery that happens on a PvE server to get people flagged, than anything I’ve heard of on a PvP server.

It just sounded crazy. I mean on a PvP server you know who your dealing with, and though some people can be asshats, its pretty much a given thing that when you play on that kind of server people will be mean. But on a “Carebear server” its just evil the way people try to sneak gank you. There is more thought up into getting a person flagged so they can kill them, than an outright gankfest on a PvP server. It’s just not…honorable.

For me, I like PvP. At least you know who your enemies are.

So I made the same transition a while back, and experienced the same thing. Actually they don’t even need to stealth flag themselves, just deliberatly attack you, as your name shows up in a delicions shade of yellow, indicating that they can’t hurt you but you can rape them. They can follow you around blatent as all hell, just waiting for the right moment to attack and you can’t pre-emptivly strike, or make any offensive move.

Playing PVP flagged on a PVE server is alot like playing the federation in star trek, but we don’t have script writers that make sure we always find a way to come out on top.

Most people on a PVE server look at flagged character as someone who is trying to stir up trouble and will gank them if they can. On my server the Horde flag on the isle of Q and try to jump into your aoe spells to get you to flag so they can kill you. Not fair either way but it seems to be the way it is.
Halite also has a point. Look at the nub lets kill them….

Oh well hope you have fun on your new server. Kara is calling your name…

Eric what EVE are you playing? Consequences for what actions? Last I checked you can rip off, through dubious means, billions of ISK and CCP will just tell everyone its part of the game. Ok bad example, but the shit that asshats get away with in EVE astounds me. Actually, CCP’s approach to all the never-ending scandals forced me to quit.

I challenge you to explain “consequences” for an asshat in EVE, because last I checked it is not there and you are better off playing the part of an asshat than of an honest Joe.
