AoC Choose your server final poll (for all the marbles)
Wednesday, May 7th, 2008 - 5:27pm
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=ICyBgqFCAxVkjJgTMzRDoA_3d_3d
The last survey became useless with over 80 responses (way more than we will have at launch, and choices for servers that wont exists at launch.
This one has 2 questions
What server do you want to play on for your main?
What is your name?
The name I left optional but would be great if people could leave their name on there so we can make sure we don’t have double voting etc.

But ... but what if I want one PVE character and one RP-PVP character? I'm scared!
Yeah, it's scary. I'm staring into the abyss right now, and it's staring into me, which I think is kind of a dick move on the abyss's part. - Nyles
This is why I don't take initiative
The last poll pretty much summed up that 90% of people will have an alt either on the Goodjer server or there preferred server.
So when answering the question, assume that there are 3 guilds running 1 on each type of server.
All of them have 40 people on right now. What are you logging into?

Which one are you going to be on Wired? I want to be on the server that allows me to grief you!

How's that for a first attempt at RP?! Booya!
I'm kinda scared.

Going to the server...but my summation is this, and its kinda simple...
Wired - Pick 3 servers...
The main, PVP, since the more diehard in the group seem to favor that. And we'll all join that with a main or alt...
The second, a PVE, since the less pvp-crazed (who don't want to get ganked 3 times when they log on to finish one quest before dinner) in the group seem to favor that
A third, on a RP server as a cats/dogs type server.
Post the servers...have Certis give them some wild executive blessing, and voila, we are good to go.
Just my two cents...
"I mean, she likes sex, too, and is quite good at it if you ask me, but it doesn't mean she wants it forced upon her whenever someone decides they want that from her."

I think this is a very good reason to be on an RP-PVP server - to avoid the inevitable "hey lets make a bunch of girl alts and run around naked" crowd. Point in case, this thread. Is there any word on moderating that? I mean, it would be funny and all for about 2 minutes, then it could get old pretty fast.

Just remeber there is also this to deal with on the rp-servers.

Wired, that is expressly forbidden in the server policies.
Though I have to admit the policy is conflicting. Its forbidden to interrupt or attack weddings etal. It is forbidden to "roleplay" real world racism. Yet it isn't forbidden to "roleplay" Conan lore racism. It was expressly said that role playing racial hatred for say, Stygians is completely kosher.

The same rules says you can'd do it unless it is for a RP reason as well.
The rules are vauge and poorly written.

I don't think you'll see that too much, Wired. Honestly, most griefers are either too impatient and/or unintelligent to put that much time and energy into coming up with RP reasons to cause the kind of senseless aggravation they are looking for.
Oh, they might try for a little while, but after spending more time trying to explain their actions than making people miserable, they'll quickly leave for FFA PvP where they can just be asshats without having to explain themselves.

I'll be on whatever server everyone else is on. The ruleset doesn't really matter to me at all, I just wanna play with a mature community.

I just keep picturing the maturity level of the Barrens chat combined with very realistic, naked female models and I just shudder.. that's why.
Nudity in moderation or where it makes sense, why not. If you want to take off your shirt and go fight tigers, that does make sense in the Conan world I guess. But if you head to a mailbox and see 20 people dancing naked spamming "2 Girlz 1 Cup LOL!!!!" I think my eyes would start bleeding.

My one complaint with an RP-PvP server is the population of such servers. They always tend to be much smaller than those of "normal" servers. While some might view this as a good thing, I do not. It will take much much longer for the server as a whole to reach the same points that the other PvE and PvP servers do. The economy will be slower to grow, raids won't happen nearly as soon. The biggest draw from me with MMO's is playing with a huge number of people and watching the server itself grow and tackle big events. I feel like an RP-PvP server will severely lack in this aspect.
Also, on a RP-PvP server, you will not be able to get help from as many people when you do start getting camped (and yes, it will still happen). On a PvP server, there will be many more people on who will be more than happy to help you out. There aren't going to be as many people on an RP-PvP server, so it could be difficult to get help if needed.
Quote:
I expect that you will be able to get help easier if you get griefed on a crowded PvP server, but by the same token, you'll get griefed a lot more, too.
So is it worth playing on a server where help is more readily available for the constant griefing or where griefing is much rarer, but the help won't be available either?

I have a very hard time accepting polls done through the forums. They only take a small subset of the population into account. And I'm willing to bet that the majority of players that pickup the game whom have never visited the forums, will roll PvE or PvP servers. I trust my experience with MMOs much more that I trust forum polls.
Every game I've played that I've jumped on to an RP server (I've never jumped on at launch, always several weeks / months later), the server is generally much more quiet and not nearly as far along in content as the normal servers.
