Rogue Isles are not a ghost town, except port oakes in places....
try this recent thread on same subject: World pvp (at least read the start) .
It comes out a bit.
I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.
Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.
So sad to be ending ):

it would be fun if heroes could go to the rogue isle (but not turn villain like GR will bring.) and pvp with the villain there and vice versa. i think it would bring more peep to the rogue isle and paragon. the bad: of course griefer and ganker will start to apear. but the good side is the rogue isle will no longer be a ghost town :-( |

There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.
This is a bad idea because 90% of the game takes place in instances. This is pretty much all there is to it.
There is not enough "HELL NO" extant to generate an appropriate response for this.
Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.
Welcome to the forums, falloutsurvivor!
Your suggestion comes up rather frequently, and the answer is generally what you see in this thread so far. Checking the other thread linked by tanstaafl lists a few more arguments why not.
I agree with Hyperstrike & DumpleBerry and the rest - NO.

This. Even if there weren't a large contingent of players who actively dislike PvP, there just aren't that many people outside of instances. Open world PvP works in other games because there are reasons to be in the open. In CoH, the only place people are outside of missions for any extended period of time is under Atlas' crotch or in the markets, either place would result in the "invader" getting destroyed by the level 50s that loiter there.

Words alone cannot describe on how bad this idea is.
You guys couldn't follow the OP to the "World pvp" thread?

Well if something like this were to work, you would need a switch to turn PVP on or off.
But then again you can access the arena from anywhere now...

Even better idea--you should be able to follow players into instanced missions and PVP with them there! Imagine how cool it would be to get ambushed by a random player just as you're attacking Frostfire!|

Oh, wait, no, that's a terrible idea.
Yeah, keep PVP optional. Some people just prefer PVE.
This can be summed up in one expression;

I think the OP was making a comparison to heroes. Redside on Freedom, the most populated server, rarely gets above 350 players total during peak times. Compare that to heroes which can easily get above 1000 players total during peak hours, and it's easy to see why some players would consider the Rogue Isles a ghost town. Add to that the fact that a good number of those are squating in Cap for the AE and market and not doing much in the way of missions, and it looks pretty bad. If Freedom is that low on villians, I shudder to think what the other servers are like.
In the past I played a game that open-world, always-on PvP - Ulitma Online. I HATED it. Ganking and griefers were rampant. Your corpse could be looted of all its items, so that meant fo me at least that I never took my best equipment with me, ever, because I didn't want to lose it to a ganker/griefer. Which made the game even more frustrating because what's the point of having cool stuff if you can never use it. I almost quit the game because of it, but they added a PvP flag so one could opt out.
If open-world PvP were added to this game I would probably leave, even if there were an opt-out flag.

Same. I am not anti-PVP, because I engage in PVP in other games, but I would never, ever play a game with open PvP.

Just because of that I won't cancel, instead I will linger like a foul smelling dead rodent in your closet for all of eternity. The only way for you to escape is *****.

Stop...just stop. Why do you guys keep posting this world PvP crap? Why?!? STOP IT FOR THE LUVAGAWD!!!!! You're making me DUMBER JUST BY READING IT!!!
Wait...is that your plan? You want to make a little bit dumber every time I read one of these threads, until I gradually become so stupid that this idea begins to sound good to me?
That's insidious...very well played. :O
