Praetoria a new PvP faction

Hi:

I understand that soon Praetoria will be able to accomodate folks all the way to level 50, that would be awesome, for that would create a true third zone and make PvP a three way engagement, which also would be awesome to have.

If this is true, having new three way maps would be cool, but perhaps we can do as other games have done and have some battlegrounds made available with practical goals. Such all 3 factions have a base with a "lord" and a fixed number for each side are transported to this BG to try to conquer the other's fortresses by defeating the NPC Lord (AV class), could actually be Stateman, Lord Recluse and Cole.

What do you all think?

why not just copy warburg and make it where anyone can attack anyone?

Well, I19 will let Primal Earth 50s into Praetoria - but the devs have said nothing about making Praetoria a new 1-50 faction - and the things they'e doing in I19 seem to indicate that that's not something they're thinking of making either.

...Why copy it?
Why not just use Warburg?

Theres currently a lot more stuff that has far higher priority.
Like, I dunno...making PvP not suck? Mebbe? Before even thinking about adding more zones for it.

Oh, and all that PvE stuff too. Because theres a lot of it.

let me rephrase: why not make a zone like warburg, when the time comes. this way anyone can attack anyone. that is what i meant, not just copy warburg.

I think Wraburg would work just fine - getting control of the nukes would quite likely be a war aim of Tyrant's invasion - and some of the Crusaders also seem quite nuke-happy - and the free-for-all set up would be perfect for those classic Praetorian betrayals

Why make more zones that will further spread out PvP players and make it harder for them to enjoy the game? Just give Praetorians access to the existing PvP zones.

Mmm..

I like the re-use of existing PvP maps, and likely it would work. My concern that geography in battle does have an impact, as a result I suggested new maps in which the three factions would have relative areas in such a way to not being more handicapped than the other. For instance imagine the Praetorians getting sandwhiched between blue and red, that would be quite harsh on the Praetorians.

I also would like to push for the battleground concept, where folks go to a place and level and numbers are strictly controlled to ensure sportsmanship. Oh yes I know, many a childish mind may find great honor on pounding a single opponent that is 40 levels below him while he himself is assisted with 20 or more of his high level buddies...

Stormy, it exists already.
It's called the arena.
