promote pvp grp zone - Phoenix Freeshard

I am trying to objectively give meaning to the pvp grp zone because as you saw no one is going there since the rp nerf

some suggestions:

-give task back and no rp nerf
-one pvp zone only (daoc was never meant to be a solo game to begin with but I still respect solo)
-low grp cap (3 because easy to form, solo, duo can add and still have an impact)
-vote with map rotate
-implement a percentage cap of the pop allowed to be in this zone based on the frontier pop (ie 500 ppl in frontier, don't allow more than 25% in the zone meaning 75% still will still be in frontier and frontier will always be active regardless) make sure to have a queue system and kick afk though

if these suggestions are denied you can always close the zone and open it on special occassion , no point leaving it open and empty like that

Is there even a group PvP zone anymore?

Also task is atleast in the solo zone already.

One PvP zone will suck - let people play how they wont not how you want everyone to play. DAOC is a game of variety and choices. When there was solo & group zone, then solo zone had action, group zone not - you can make your conclusions about what people what to play in PvP zone.

Adding a cap on PvP zone population is useless, its empty.

Having any special zones is pointless

I disagree, since im having alot of fun there on some of my toons and it does not affect the gameplay of other aspects of the game. So if it does not harm and people enjoy beeing there - why is it pointless?

Because DAoC Players are RP-hookers.
Either everyone go there or no one go there, its the same every time.

PVP Zone as a permanent thing is a waste of time. Would be fun every third weekend or something, but as a permanent thing it either becomes a massive RP farm or an empty void. There is no such thing as a workable balance here.

Just need to remove the RP penalty for smallzone and it will be played eventually.

For the Solo Zone just need to open the old zone again so ppl can play solo. Currently there is NO solo support on the server for weeks.

Actually Uthred announced upcoming solo support, so stay positive, just a few more days of getting rolled and rolled
