Most active pvp server?

Well... on a whim I took a tour of my hom server Justice. Didn't find a single enemy in any of the pvp zones, and the team tool showed not a single vil in any of them. I was looking at rolling a new toon to be pvp oriented... but if there isn't any to speak of on Justice, I might as well just do it elsewhere I suppose.

I seem to recall reading something about there being an 'unofficial' pvp server... infinity maybe?

The most activity can be found on Freedom.

I remember when infinity had pvp. Ah those were the good days.

Yeah, you could've made a very strong argument for Infinity at one time. We used to have leagues, a ladder (for team arena and base raids even), frequent kickball, fairly active zones, and (I'd be willing to guess) more tournaments/events than any other server. I'd say that Freedom probably had us beat in zone activity most of the time because of server population, but I personally think we had them beat on the organized stuff (no offense to the other servers).

Our PvP ladder roster thread is still marked to save if you go look at the Infinity server stuff on these boards. Even with the ongoing PvP issues before i13, we still had 80+ people over like 8 teams-I think-participating. Personally, I poured a lot of time and effort into making things happen there. The devs drowned it away by flooding the whole system with the diarrhea they called i13 and its PvP changes. So, like most PvP'rs across all servers, most of us quit (I did for like a year); everything that we had built up there died. When a few people would come back, their only hope of finding PvP would be on Freedom, so it's really the only serious option now...which is why I'm there too now.

Basically there's no such thing as "most active" anymore. There's a server that actually has PvP at all...that's Freedom. And then there are all the other servers, where PvP is completely dead.

Ahh the days of the IPvPL.

All the PvPers on Justice decided to pack up and use Freedom for PvP. I'm pretty sure most of the other servers decided the same thing.

i13's sudden changes made a small pool of PvPers even smaller so I think consolidation was all that was left to do.

Both Liberty and Victory seem to have moved their PvP to Freedom as well.

IPvPL Season 1 Match

That league was 5v5, but several matches ended up being 4v4 like this one. In that video, you see some old PvP vets on our side:
Omega (ABH, Velocity)
Skittler (ABH, JAL, Mediocore)
Skingraf (ABH, dUmb)
Me (ABH, dUmb)

Ah, memories.

I dont know lately around 10 central time I've been seeing a few people on Liberty in Recluse's Victory but most of us on Liberty just take a ride to freedom when we get bored with PvE.

Virtue is getting busy. We have a lot of Justice PvPers moving over. We've also picked up a few strays who can't handle the competitiveness of Freedom and want to move to a more newbie-friendly pvp server.

But yeah in terms of quantity I think Freedom has every other server beaten hands down.
