Welcome to the forums 
There's still PvP on the Euro servers, but it seems to be a more organized thing - it's not so easy to just turn up in a PvP zone and find a fight, I think.

I suppose its who you know. As far as I was aware its been quite busy in the pvp zones such as Sirens Call and RV. Just have to look out on the arena to see which side requires more back up.
Heros
Max Powerz: Lv 50 Tanker
Villains
Max Khaos: Lv 50

Thanks for the answer and the welcome 
Well I know there is organized pvp on Union, like events once a week or once every two week and prolly the arena is more an organized and planned thing.
I just wanted to have a taste of pvp, and jumped in SC relatively often. Half of the time it's empty. Doesnt mean you cant find one or two fights sometime, but it's not what i've been used to as a pvper in my previous mmos.
I've been starting on Freedom, and just using the /who command i can see that every pvp zone is very active, even when it's the morning in the US. Furthermore the villain side is crowded : alot of 8 man leveling teams get formed every 10 mins through the broadcast channel. Just what i was looking for, as I've been pretty sad on the villain side on Union.
On the other hand as a melee toon, I miss the fluidity of my attack chain due to a ping at 250 (vs 150 on Union). The gameplay is just a bit less fun than what i'm used to. Maybe I will play villain there and hero on Union ? Not sure yet^^
I have to go through more levels and testing there.

Hello all,
I just started this game 2-3 months ago, and I must say I like it much. I have leveled a bunch of toons, several past 40s. My only issue is the (relative) inactivity on villain side (making it hard to team sometime), and especially the inactivity in pvp zones. Coming from a game where I used to pvp hardcore 24/7, I just feel like I miss a part of the game.
That's why I'm considering moving to US servers. I just opened a trial account there to test the ping and see how it goes. I can see that my attack chain is a bit less fluid than what i'm used to on euro side, but i dont think it would be a huge issue for pve.
I just wanted to ask if there are any people pvping (or playing) on US servers from europe. How is the ping for you ? Is it a real issue, or nothing big ?
Thanks for the answers

If you enjoy PvP then your in for a big disappointment in this game. The PvP is so broken it needs to be remade from the ground up as the game was designed as a pure PvE game and PvP was added as an after thought. And it seems every time to tey to fix it just make it worse and worse.

PvP was planned from the start, because Villains were planned from the start

You need to go back to some of the earlier previews and news releases before the game went in to Beta/Live. PvP was planned.
It just wasn't implemented when the game went live, which was a mistake.
Havent gone into pvp alot yet. But I'd like to try.
But as far as it goes (sadly for those forums i guess) I must say I feel much better on Freedom than I did on Union.
Alot of 8 man teams on villain side in every level range. I have also the feeling that most people play better and know what they're doing while in a team. Euro servers have alot of good players for sure, I met several. But in PuGs you meet also... well you know^^
SC at peak times has like 20+ people each side, and often like 8-10 when it's early in the US. So at least even if pvp is broken I'll have a chance to give a shot and make my opinion about it.
But at the moment I really enjoy the smooth and easy leveling on my villain

as Extremus pointed out PvP was always intended right from the design phase and was advertised as such during previews, it just wasnt anywhere near ready and when it did come out it wasnt anywhere near remotely balanced. I beleive tankers were gods which is why all the unresistables came into play which they now regret implimenting and are seemingly phasing out.
The changes to the game in recent times has been balancing PvP which was a total abomination after the moronic design and implimentation of the Patron powers for villains. Since the advent of storm corrs and the veats the disparity between heroes and villains has been shrinking and with i13 bringing respecable patrons (no longer locked in) and castle admiting they underperform and are homogenius to the point of choice being irrelevant, they are likely to change further.
The outlook is pretty good, certainly US side there is a lot of to-ing and fro-ing in all zones these days as opposed to old base camping nubs, the game needs a lot of work to make the PvP perfect but hell, there isnt any game with remotely perfect PvP in existence.
Back to the OP, I play and PvP on the US servers, you get better latency and connection to the US servers than you do to the EU ones, go freedom if you want there to be always a decent amount of PvP in SC and RV, dont listen to the doomsayers, most are probably upset that the long time coming EM nerf arrived.
noo... Regen Scrappers were gods at first!! I remember

Well I've just taken the plunge and sorted out a US account.
I Have great fun every time I play my Grav/TA troller in the PvP zones, if only there were more Villains about to fire glue arrow at
So I though I'd give it a go over there. If you see Ant Man Bee on Freedom , come say hello
