ISDcaptain Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 okay so let me get this straight, on a PVP server your always on PVP status but in a RP-PVP server, you can activate your PVP status and fight anywhere on the map, while in a PVE server you just fight in designated areas of the world?

PvP and RP-PvP servers have the same PvP ruleset. You are automatically flagged for open world PvP in the non-starter maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sznur Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Guess you cant name your toons Obipwnsyou or something like that on PVP-RP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kill_Kayt Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Guess you cant name your toons Obipwnsyou or something like that on PVP-RP. Usually RP server have a stricter naming policy, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yfelsung Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Guess you cant name your toons Obipwnsyou or something like that on PVP-RP. Can't name them like that on PvP servers either. SWTOR actually has a really strict naming policy on ALL servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiflesCrossed Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Guess you cant name your toons Obipwnsyou or something like that on PVP-RP. This. Traditionally though they share the same PVP Rule Sets, RP-PVP servers have more strict naming conventions. If the GM's actually care enough to enforce it that is. I don't personally RP, but I usually roll on RP-PVP servers because I like a little more immersion in terms of names, and the community is generally more stable and mature.

AldoraB Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 It's really just a gameplay preference. It is more likely that someone on an RP server will kill you for a "lore reason" with some sort of story that they generated about their characters habits and mannerisms. On just a plain PvP server well...you know how people are.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kolbenito Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Naming policies and anti-RP griefing policies, that's about it. My experience has been that the world pvp is better on RP-PVP servers, the factions are usually much closer to balanced and there are a few more people who don't grief or camp but red = dead either way. I think they are great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laplans Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Simple: PvP server - You fight anyone you can find and want to fight. RP-PvP - You first have to challenge your contestant by stating they destroyed your parents/cousin/droid or whatevah and then you can fight him/her.

KeitMacheen Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 RP servers are for those interested in role play. While some games have more rigid name restrictions, the Devs have indicated they will not be enforcing any specialized naming rules on RP servers. Basically, you roll on a RP server because you anticipate other like minded persons will do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RylanStorm Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 It's the same rule set. People still gank you but they say 'verily' after instead of tea bagging your corpse. True story : 97.6% of RPers in any genre think you have to chat like Shakespeare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
