I'm not sure how the other servers are doing as far as 1-15 PvP. But in Gaia we have lost so many good AoL PvPers. Because for whatever reason they have chosen to move on to 20-30. Now the issue will be the lack of Furies in 20-30. This is becoming a cycle that is spiraling out of control. IMhO i see 20-30 soon tainted with nosses to make up/even the odds with the uneven population in the zone. And before you know it 20-30 will become just like 1-15...perhaps a exaggeration but what goes up must eventually come down....

And would letting them fight on more even ground be all that bad? as it stands now the uber's control the battle field and the newbs come in, get pwned and leave. By leveling the field you could lose maybe, what? 10 or so ubers? but you could also potenially gain 20 or 30 more newbs to replace them since it would no longer be seen as futile to try to compete. And maybe the ubers would find the challenge of an "advanced" 1-15 area more fun than simply striding to the altar, killing everything that moves. I for one find it alot better (on the rare days I'm not getting pwned) to have the cut and parry of a close fight compared to casting twice and killing a nub.

Lots of posts to read here. Here is what I got in summary from earlier posts:

1. Second PVP Area (There are already 2 pvp areas for 10-15, and yes I am referring to linked.)

2. Restricting the lvl of enchants in 10-15

3. Current situation may just be temporary.

4. Avyn's suggestion to change what enchantments do to gear based on lvl of said gear

5. To induce a rank limitation on 10-15 so that once you reach a certain rank you would not be able to pvp on home server but in linked you can stay there forever.

Just as an example on Gaia Server 5 lights took on a raid of Furies last night. Our leader had 7 enchants on armor and 13 bow I beleive and we took them out really fast when the archer was killed by altar we we creamed. Also I saw the same archer and a warrior go one on one and they were not able to kill each other after 5 min of fighting. bother were nossed as well. My UM char fares just as well or maybe slightly better than my HM with the same gear in this area so I plan on not wasting the res runes to pvp very long in 10-15 with UM as there is no significant difference in performance.

Personally I agree with Avyns suggestion to change the effect that enchanting has on gear bassed on lvl. Goddess adamas armor should be powered up more by enchants than noble bronze gear. However the QQing and programing that would go into making the changes would take a long time to change.

Putting limits on enchantment lvls for pvp would not work as how will aeria compensate there Ap buyers that spent money or billions in gold to get there gear to that lvl.

easier to do would be to restrict pvp by rank. Either not allow high ranks into pvp or like the 10 lvl restriction if someone is lower than a certain # of ranks below you in 10-15 [/b]only[/b] in this area and only on the home sever. Linked would be fine.

These are permanent solutions and they may not work. on the temporary side i would suggest the following. If somone uber logs on then make it a point to logg off for a while or boy cott pvp. let it die for a week or two eventually the uber people would get the point. what I would do would be if I saw certain people log on then i logged off and went to linked where i new they were not there. (this was before bugs with linked)

another suggestion would be to have a GS ocasionally moderate not participate in PVP discourage camping and encourage certain players to go to linked instead of home server.

I usually do the boycotting thing, but when I encourage a raid to all log if the uber-people login, then most of them obviously won't listen, which defeats the purpose of boycotting pvp until the over-enchanted people get the idea.
