In my opinion: This one game called DAOC ( Dark age of camelot) did it right with something called rvr (realm vs realm) warfare. and they are still going today whereas a lot of other pvp centric games have failed. Id love nothing more to have a red server, but that would be a bad business model for a game coming out of alpha. Not to mention we are in a pandemic which has gutted our way of life for the most part. In EQ2 days when we had nagafen and vox I think, it was a newish concept, even then though people only lost coin if they had any on them, maybe an odd heroic item, should they lose a fight. It did not last long though in terms of a business model, even with those protections in place. They tried 2 more times with its nostalgia/maint mode servers, TLE, it was around for maybe 4-6 months, even less the second time around. Then they tried a TLE red server on a limited time basis, which was a worst idea in itself. Lots of games have tried to figure out the pvp formula but its going be an uphill battle when 50% of the customers are not going to get that same sensation the other 50% are getting. I mean they could do participation trophies I guess but even then its not as good as that first place prize. So how do we fix that in 2020 in a pandemic? Simple, people love being a part of something and misery loves company. RVR... We all win or we all lose. Maybe come up with 2 other factions, like Aliens and the other could be robots or AI etc lol. So humans, AI and aliens wow now you could do a lot with those, lots of expansions, worlds etc. $$$$ big money! Different strengths and weaknesses, well not to get off topic sori, but I think rvr is the way to go if you want this game to be around 5 years from now. IMO

Apologies, I am too frustrated to find a forum post cause I know I cant be the only one with this issue. I have a pretty decent setup so I know its not me. Now I have been trying to log in since I CTD'd near a marketplace about 4 hours now. I get to move maybe 2 feet then it crashes, again. This has happened alot more than usual. Is there a way to disable all the constructs cluttering the area? Only happens near marketplaces, and I dread going near it at this point. Which should not be the case also new players start at these locations and I can only imagine the frustration they feel. I did notice I was able to move freely and even turned up the graphics at a marketplace, when there were no other constructs. That was a bug apparently because when I logged back in I could see alot of constructs laying about. And of course CTD shortly after I could look around. I want to test things out but dam man was this around in alpha?

I think they should add a section in the forums that the devs can relay information to players like sked/unsked down times, patch notes, maybe a suggestion box etc. and Space hamsters!
