Open World PvP has always been, in my opinion, the most important thing in an MMO to keep people playing.
As mentioned above, my opinion.
Ilum had alot of potential. And could have been a great community builder.
In my time playing LOTRO, the open world PvP zone, held the core of the server community. And you got to know alot of people.
The failing of Ilum made alot of people grow tired.
I know I did. I love PVP. But doing the same warzones over and over and over, begins to be boring.
We were told that Ilum would get a revamp. But? Info? Is this going to be fixed?
The open world zones attracts alot of core people.
Lack of it, means those people would walk, or already has.
Hope you can make Ilum or other big open spots available again for interest.
Implement title achievement for killing X amount of Sorcerer, X amount of Knights.
Make events were special bosses can arrive and empire vs Republic vs boss could happen. Make open world PvP playable again!
