If the devs are serious about Dual Universe being solo-friendly then it can't be open PvP. There's no way a newbie or soloer can stand a chance against gankers and griefers. No adult is going to pay money for a low-priority game where they can lose everything if they get called away for high-priority real life. At that point you're simply limiting your potential customer base to the hardcore PvPers, which is a tiny fraction of gamers, and that group is already served by a number of existing games.
