O HAI PP!
And I agree with you that PvP should be global and cross server. I'm not sure how difficult making an "instanced server" or whatever would be required but I'm all for the basic idea.
suggested many times before and the answer is pretty much always, "that is what test is for". if they opened up cross server PvP then they would have to open cross server PvE. we all know that the only way that happens is when the game is dying and servers get merged. i don't see that happening for quite some time so i guess the answer is use test server or change servers to PvP with other people.

Castle just commented on this exact suggestion in a different thread, and it didnt sound all DOOM and GLOOM.
I was just makin it official by sticking it in the Suggestions section, incase rednames really actually look in here.

In fact, WoW's ever-increasing server population has been doing cross-server PvP (and not PvE) for years. Not among all servers, since they've got dozens, but by breaking them in to groups; "These six servers all PvP together, and these six servers all PvP together..."
It works just fine.
With regards to CoH, I'm not opposed to the idea. I don't honestly think it would encourage many more people to PvP, but at least the tiny percentage of players who do enjoy it would have a larger base of people to do it with. And who knows, that might improve things and encourage others to try it out, and eventually, everyone might PvP. Not likely, but I suppose it's possible.
The thing is, while I support the idea in principle, I (and I think most of the playerbase as well) just don't care enough about PvP to believe it's worth the effort of making the change. Still, if it happened, I wouldn't complain. I guess what I'm saying is, it couldn't hurt.
FUN FACT: That burst of light when you level up is actually the effectiveness escaping from your enhancements all at once.
I personally dont pvp at all, but i do think this is a great idea. I have game friends that like to pvp and always say the zones r too empty. I see no problem with cross-server pvp.
how about instead of cross server they go with just a PvP server. transfer your toon to the server via purchasable ticket with influence/infamy. or make a character copy tool so you wouldn't have to transfer. of course you would only be able to copy one way like test. i think it would be more viable to do rather then try to code for cross server.
We dont need another empty server.
What we need is for all of our PvPers to be able to play together.
(I knows thems are fightin words, I don't mean for them to sound as harsh as they do)
and that is exactly what a PvP server would do. allow people to play together. it seems like it would be a lot less work to have a server for this then to try to make just the PvP aspect cross server while not have it spill over or cause sever problems to the PvE side.

Um. They have never said they are adding exp to pvp zones... for player kills.
That is bringing alot of other garbage in that doesnt need to be brought in.
If I play on Virtue and go into Sirens Call, I think everyone on all servers in Sirens Call should also be there.
I don't want to pay money to transfer my characters to a server just so I can get a badge. That makes no sense.
you are totaly reading to far into this. and since you yourself said that you don't PvP ever, i think you need to learn about what you are talking about before doing so. if they made a PvP server, it would be exactly like test server. copy character tool and everything. and i would like to know how you would solve the problems that a code spill over would cause to the PvE side, and how if made cross server it would work.
oh, and the last time i knew, xp was added to player kills.
I have suggested this over and over for the past few years. SO, I am suggesting it officially in the suggestions section, again :\ I most recently suggested it in the Issue 16 super sidekicking thread...
When you over there on Champion go into Sirens Call, Blood Bay, Warsmurg, RV... You should be meeting up with people on Virtue, Freedom, other servers >.> I forget your names...
