Very true.
That’s the part i want to know.
The biggest argument i see is that there aren’t enough people to fill a PVP server, yet somehow this will damage the playerbase by splitting it all up if all 500 total of us that apparently exist suddenly left the servers.
I think the threat is that it might be alarmingly successful, and that looming uncertainty could change the course of the game. Possibly pulling in more people who currently do not play the game. Who knows, it’s an unknown.
Maybe that happens, maybe it doesn’t. Maybe, just maybe, they go medium high pop and do just fine, and nothing else changes. And all the PVP players have a happier home. It’s anyones guess!
I would prefer they modify existing servers to better separate pve and pvp, because i do love my home. But i also want to see an opportunity created for those who want a server to call home themselves.

there already spamming the ashes of creation forums which is a PvX game advertised as such and so on crying about pvp trying to get it changed or removed too which is what i find hilarious
I mean that’s what happened to NW. They willingly went onto a PVP-centric, advertised PVP game, and started complaining that there is PVP in NW.
yeeep and then 95% of them fudged off a month after released to go back to there previous game
i do wonder what would of happened population wise if they kept to there vision and maybe altered it a little bit like toning back death penalty instead of removing pvp all together pretty much.
In order to have a PvP only server NW would have to balance classes based on 1 Vs. 1’s. NW is built on gank style grp battles. A switch to a 1 vs 1 pvp based sys is a huge change. It would result in a more balanced combat between classes as well as displaying more accurately who the top PKs truly are. Healer’s would need to be restricted to more targeted style healing and would probably require the most changes in order to align new world into true PvP playstyle.
Much of the problems come precisely from the stats. They are too significant in how it affects the attack power of a weapon, the attack power of the weapon should be “standard” and we should build up stats more than anything to obtain the bonuses that interest us more than to increase the damage of the weapons themselves . In this way, it would be much easier to balance everything, because you would already have a much clearer idea of when a lifestaff could heal or how much damage a musket could do, in addition to giving you the possibility of using the weapon you want and not depending on whether they share stats or not.
If a server is a PvP server, you wouldn’t need to press U 
These are pretty big changes and AGS is unlikely to want to do things like this at this time. The dev time required will most likely not be worth the return on investment. There will also be other changes requested by the community so more work for them.
Problem with PVP servers is that it’s mostly who can bring bigger numbers to the fight. People like to win and as soon as they start losing they either quit or they join the stronger faction/group and then you get a one-sided server.
If nobody is pressing U, then nobody will play on a PVP Server

As with everything they will likely bring PvP servers once the PvP community has something else to play 
I press U
Not nearly enough though.
Congratulations! You can now enjoy world PVP.
Can’t really enjoy OW PvP when people run into safe zones ALL OVER THE MAP. PvP system still needs some type of immediate loot rewards, as well as a better deterrent to being killed beyond repairing armor. A GF system that will accept PvP flagged players regardless of expedition grp make-up, just make it so exp grp members can’t hurt one another. Other NW dynamics are making it difficult for players to remain flagged as well.
You are assuming that the absolute majority of PVP players visit this forum. Not even one could assert something like that most of the PVE players or the current players in general visit it. Something tells me you’re not very smart.

Still not a pvp server.
If you can pvp then it’s a pvp server and last time I checked you can pvp 
Still not a PvP server.
Something tells me you’re a griefer 
and not worth more of my time
Btw New World is a PvX game. And the “PvP only community” is either pretty small or they fail at advertising their ideas to a greater audience. Instead all they do is recycle post after post the same flawed arguments. While they could be discussing ideas to implement more owpvp. Let’s be realistic: the game lacks owpvp. But let’s also be self-reflective: why does the game lack owpvp? Griefers. Nobody likes being griefed. Or told that they “suck and should just turn off pvp.” And that is the reason the devs will not and should not listen to this pvp server (ask, cry, demand? Where are we today?) shitfest.
