Urke Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Hi I am just wondering if there are diffrences between PvP and RP-PVE server communitys, if its easier to find a group to do flashpoint, heroics on RP server than on PVP server and are more "mature" players on PVP or RP... or is there no difference....

Confession Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Generally speaking, people are way more mature on role-playing servers than on pure PvP ones. If you have trouble finding a server that suits you, I'd suggest trying out a few servers before settling anywhere. Remember, there's always that one exception that proves the rule.

Backbones Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Generally speaking, people are way more mature on role-playing servers than on pure PvP ones. For what it's worth, this is the opposite of my experience -- in WoW, anyway, where I spent about two years each spread between RP, RP-PvP, and finally plain PvP servers. The RP servers I played on tended to be very cliquish and had very exclusionary communities, as well as a huge smattering of elitists. The PvP servers were much more easy-going (which some people might take as being immature, sure.) It was definitely more casual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are always elitist folk on any server. I've only had bad experiences with RP servers where flaming and dancing on your dead body making insults and comments as learn to play or get out were more common then pink bows at a hello kitty store. The best advice is already given, roll some chars on different servers and find out where you meet a nice guild with good people. The best way to find out which community you like is by rolling into it. Edited January 21, 2012 by Kirameki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I'm going to stick around on RP servers on SWTOR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjmc Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I'm on an RP-PVP server and most people I run into have been friendly and helpful, or at least non-interfering. When I encounter higher level enemies in the field, they are more likely to RP/emote than gank me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Listerman Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 People on RP servers want to act out scenes with you. People on PVP servers want to kill you. And do /getdown while standing on your corpse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jornas Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Jung Ma (RP-PVP) has a pretty good community on the Republic side. Unfortunately, there are a lot of gankers on the Imperial side. I was hoping that the RP-PVP server would have more sporting opponents, but I guess some people need to make up for the fact they've been shoved in the locker one too many times.

DNA_Cowboy Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Generally speaking, people are way more mature on role-playing servers than on pure PvP ones. It's kind of subjective, though. To be fair, RP servers and communities, though often tight-knit and genial, can really erupt into major drama over role-playing orthodoxy, scene-stealing and all the other subjective and fairly trivial issues. Just sayin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
