Players Disagree Over What Forever’s RP-PvP Ruleset Needs

Two forum replies push back on building RP-PvP systems into WoW Forever, arguing that roleplay events and existing server options may be enough.

What Should Be Built In?

One forum participant argues that roleplayers who enjoy PvP do not need dedicated systems: in their view, a minor RP-PvP event can meet the need. That favors keeping the ruleset lightweight rather than designing special mechanics around it.[1]

Another participant worries that an RP-PvP realm could become “PvP#2” and says players seeking a different faction experience could use a PvE realm or create a separate account. Their objection is about preserving a distinct roleplay-PvP identity, not simply opposing PvP.[2]

The Design Question

Together, the replies raise a practical question for the ruleset: should it provide purpose-built support for recurring RP-PvP play, or leave that activity to player-run events and existing realm or account choices? The concern is that a broad PvP focus could dilute what makes the roleplay ruleset distinct.[1][2]

TL;DR

  • One player says RP-PvP can work through occasional events without special in-game systems.[1]
  • Another argues against making an RP-PvP realm resemble a second standard PvP server, pointing instead to existing PvE or account options.[2]
