A PvP only server?

What if zenimax opened a new server where all zones had faction based PvP? (Or even free for all??)

Everyone has to restart at level 1, no gear/cp transfers. Players would be under constant threat of PvP when not in a safe zone (like a bank?). And most importantly... YOU GET YOUR OPPONENTS STUFF WHEN THEY DIE!!

What do you guys think?

    I think we already have that, Cyrodil and Imperial City (and others), but I agree with you, a PvP only server seems like it would really help in a lot of cases.

    Well... If you ever wanted to convince me to NEVER return to PvP, that would do it. :).

    The only way other players looting your stuff would work would be each time you start a session you start with nothing and pick up armor/weapons as you go and from killing players. There, you got your skill based PvP.

    So basically you craft yourself some new gear, leave the crafting station and a plethora of stealthed players try to get in the killing blow so they get your stuff.

    I would play that version of the game less than how long it took me to type this out.

    And I'm guessing typing this out would prove to be more fun.

    It is not going to happen.

    We have 6 servers for 2 zones and 3 platforms. OP's suggestion is essentially to double that and possible force everyone interested in starting over.

    It is just not good business wise.

    Either that or be so crowded that nobody would ever get killed. It would be a bloodbathe!

    You've met some of the PvPers. They would love it!

    It would be a collection of ghost towns from Day One. Only a small proportion of players actually engage in PvP, and very few of them would be interested in an Open PvP server, even less if it was run on a full looting ruleset. Those few players would then be spread throughout the entire game world. It would be dead before it even began.

    That's not the impression you get from these forums. Apparently we are all bloodthirsty psychopaths. That's not an issue, but, still... based on impressions...

    I agree. There'd be those who tried it out of curiosity, but....PvP only? I love PvP, but several MMO's I've played over the last ten years where I played on PvP servers they were quite literally nothing but a griefer's paradise. And every single time those servers were dead within a few months. Cyrodiil works just fine. Oh, and the full looting rule set, yeah. That's an extremely niche group of players who are into that kind of PvP.

    Support the idea all you want. It is certainly your prerogative. However, the business decision will still be no. Not economically viable.

    Imagine the lag in Cyrodiil.

    Now imagine that in every single zone.

    I love Cyrodiil and love playing it.
    I would never step foot in a server such as this, where I would lose all the gear that took me months to collect and upgrade, no way

    Yes, love the idea, that way we could show without a doubt how small the pvp pop is! Of course we would need a total pve server as well where cyro/IC is open to all pvers without any pvp.

    As long as it is only financially supported by those who play on it sure thing!

    I would not worry. Zos is not going to give this idea two thoughts since they made the decision years ago to not have PvP servers. No one has come up with a compelling reason for them to change their mind.
