PVP across servers

I recently read up on Marvel vs, DC,and this idea has probably been suggested many times and been shot down just as many,but the main article I read upon was the Batman and the Punisher,and it made me think of two things...

1.Batman needs a girlfriend very,very badly.with a relationship between the two as though they were Superman and Lois Lane.Robin could also be a girl's name,couldnt it?

2.Would it make sense and take PvP in a whole new direction if a player on Virtue could fight a player on Champion?A player on Liberty could fight a player on Protector.A player on Justice could fight a player on Freedom,and so on,and so on,and so on through the magic of the Arena Kiosks on YOUR or THEIR server.

You could simply punch up this option on the Kiosk,and have access to a whole list of players looking for a fight and what servers they come from.

Pros

1)You could make even more friends

2)For those who love their charachters with bios and documented stories,they could form a relationship and have a signature hero,or villain to fight,such as Statesman and Lord Recluse have.

3)Badges and accolades could have a part in this type of PvP.



*is officially out of pros and anxiously awaits the cons to this idea : )*

1.) Why do you think Batman had Robin around? Yeah

2.) This has been suggested several times before, although mostly focusing on the zones and not the arenas. The first response w.r.t. the arenas would probably be telling you to 'just go to test' which is one solution, although not one I like myself. Personally, I like the idea, the main issue being technical in my view (i.e. making all the infrastructure to be able to dynamically transfer the character to another server for the fight... which isn't likely to be easy since some of the server farms are on the opposite side of the country from the others, possibly meaning they'd have to communicate via the internet and not a dedicated network).

Also, your pros 2 and 3 don't really make any sense to me in this context... You can already 'do' 2, and there's already badges associated with pvp (and accolades on red side).

We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.

Already been suggested several times in the past. Although the consensus would love this sort of thing, the programming and extra server hardware needed to support it are non-trivial.

Also, just before anyone reference the quote, yes, Positron did once mention the possibility of a server-less environment. But mind you, you have to understand the context: He wasn't saying it was something they were considering, he was merely covering NC's butt in case NC did something that'd make people's purchases of server transfers pointless, like the a-fore-mentioned serverless environment.

I'm actually in favor of something like this....on the condition that it doesn't pre-empt other concerns (more content, powers, gameplay in general)

I PvP very seldomly, and this is a feature I would never, or very seldom use. So, it has no impact on me whatsoever.

So, why am I in favor of it?

Simple, the people that are whining that "Server X is dead and there's no one to fight" could finally shut the hell up about it. THAT I would like.

Just a bit puzzled about how Batman's love life is a City of Heroes concern? Not to mention, that Bruce Wayne has been involved with several different women over the years, just not often for any extended period of time.

I would love it if they would make the arenas cross-server. If it worked, then maybe they could see if they could make the PvP zones cross-server. I'll miss being able to get a shivan without running into anyone else. It would be a small price to pay to see the zones full of people.
