Dungeons And Dragons Online: Sporkfire hints at PvP in DDO!

Sporkfire posted in a thread about the upcomming PvP in DDO!

We'll be sharing more about PvP in some Dev Diaries that I have asked the team to write up, and so for the moment, sorry, can't tell ya a whole of the specifics.

But I want to keep assuring you that PvP will not impact your regular gameplay as you know it. We won't balance dungeon combat for the sake of PvP. Any necessary balance changes will be in the PvP Arenas themselves, and not in the PVE game. Also, you will never be in a situation where you were happy doing your own thing, when somebody comes along and ganks you to steal all your gear. That's only fun for one person in the encounter, and we all agree that it sucks.

One of the cool things about PvP is that we can use it with the Eberron setting, relating it back to the Patron system as another means to gain the favor of the different houses. PvP rankings will provide another metric for your own achievements, in addition to experience, loot and currency.

It's also another activity to do between adventures, and if you have been following our discussions on future plans, you know we have a lot of those kinds of things in development. PvP, crafting, tavern games, social tools and all that are all part of the plan to provide lots of reasons to visit and live in Stormreach.

Notice the part about the Patron System? As I thought, this allows for PvP while gaining favor with a Patron. Atleast IMHO. ;)
