Where's the PVP?

After a six month hiatus, I decided to reactivate my account to see how things have changed since I was last on (mostly to see if they fixed the endurance issues that came about with/just after i7).

I had mostly stopped PvEing once I hit lvl 47, instead spending most of my time PvPing, usually in SC. I don't often play evenings, and never had a problem finding people in SC afternoons--especially not on a Saturday afternoon.

But since reactivating the account Thursday and spending a few hours playing the past few days, I've found very few people in SC or RV (and too many of the people in RV seem to leave if you actually engage them in PvP, saying "I'm here for the xp").

So where is everyone? Have there been some changes to the game that caused PvPers to leave? Have the PvPers just moved to playing only at night? Or am I just mis-remembering how many people used to be signed on during Friday and Saturday afternoons?

To be fair, I've also noticed fewer people in the PvE zones, as well. So maybe there are just fewer players?

AFAIK, most of the PvP happen in SC and WB, while RV is for xp farmers MOST of the time, but there still is some PvP there from time to time.

On the player numbers, you would have to wait for MaX to respond
I think more people are playing CoH than CoV nowadays, since CoV isnt as new.

Dunno about defiant but on Union theres a fair bit of pvpin going on in BB more now than i can ever recall. Which is good 'cause lvl 25 is when all the classes stand the best chance against eachother while holding their own characteristics and very rarely seen anyone go undeafeated there for a long period of time


@Damz Find me on the global channel Union Chat. One of the best "chat channels" ingame!

union warburg was very busy last night. FFA isnt my usual idea of fun but it wasnt bad.

I had some vague recollections of it being quite busy, I haven't seen that many people in a PvP zone since I was last on Victory. I'm not a big FFA fan generally - probably because it tends to be a tad painful for a defender - particularly when too drunk to see what's infront of your nose - but I seem to remember it being some fun.

Sirens had a few people in there earlier in the night as well.

Shame there weren't more villains in RV, I do prefer PvPing at level 50 on a level 50 character, every time I see Total Focus grayed out, it makes me want to cry.
