Posted December 18, 2012 (edited) With the addition of Pristine, I've seen a huge influx of new epic players. What made a lot of us pvpers fall in love with epic was the original server release, in which noobs against noobs was all the craze. I think we need a new PVP server much like Pristine, but much much smaller and faster skill gain to give people an idea what awaits them on epic. A transition server. It'll allow them to learn the ropes in a carebear pvp environment where then they can come over to epic and know how to get started instead of trying to figure it out on HOTS as they stumble about. There should be an epic portal where they can choose to permanently move to an Epic server when they're ready. You could cap skills to a set amount so that if they want to go higher they have to join an epic cluster, and this server would serve as a tutorial server for PVP. There could be missions, and mission rewards, and everything that is on the epic server. Edited December 18, 2012 by JasperCity 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 18, 2012 Would be interesting, could be capped at like 30 skills, and 50 FS, allowing new players who do then decide to come over to quickly get into the game with their kingdom of choice, and not feel in over their heads from the off.

Posted December 18, 2012 yes especially since on HOTS there are lots of bully type players who will slay you as soon as you leave the new player area. This would give them the necessary skills to begin their journey without being turned off right away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 18, 2012 Thats what the old wild server now chaos is for.PvP with limitations. If you want no restrictions go to Epic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 18, 2012 The point is envy that it would have no restrictions, just there'd be a skill cap of like 20 for players to try out the pvp in wurm without facing immensely powerful foes like 70fs enemies, or having to build a boat to do it. It'd be a small server, with lower level monsters only. It'd be entirely for new players only. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 18, 2012 (edited) Perhaps a chaos-esque isle within the new cluster would be a good idea, especially seeing as it seems Rolf has backup servers available for overflow of 1.0, and many new players will be wanting to try out the PvP on an even footing.

Posted December 18, 2012 Didnt you make a thread like this? Why the faster skillgain anyway? Its already very fast on epic. Its also called home servers where you can grind up and live safely then go to the main pvp server anytime you want-1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 18, 2012 point is the skills would transfer over, and the skill gain would be the same as on epic. It's needed. People need to see how wurm pvp can be fun so that they want to join the epic cluster. Population is important. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
