Test server changes are announced. The only difference is that you're not requiring people spend money and ditch all their friends to attempt it.
I think you realize that allowing test server would increase your fight frequency tenfold without changing the quality of fights. I guess you really care about that measly 100m.

I just want to say thank you for this thread, it picks me up on a sad day and makes me laugh like crazy...truely..thank you.
How cute! willing to risk accounts for ballista.
it's like watching someone risk there house over a game of jump rope. i don't know if this is serious bravery or insanity. who would have thought this little event could spark this much heat.

I just realized you can't transfer for months, which makes it pointless. I assumed with claims like that you could transfer today. My bad for not reading I suppose. Over 9ish pages of ***.
Did Zirk and Urteil go at it or are you guys still playing footsie (just not on the forums)? Pop me a link if there's a vid up please. Oh boy Minjo is gonna fight you? If that's for real then everybody wins. Regardless of who loses. I look forward to watching that fight the most.

Round one of topicbans handed out.
One bit that I should put in here, kind of a big argument against the Test Server tbh, should really alleviate any further posts about it...
There are documented cases of things on the test server not mirroring things on the live servers, very significant things in fact. Additional effects, their magic accuracy, is completely floored on main servers where on the test server they're almost unmissable. Who knows what other examples like this exist? It's actually a pretty severe advantage in some cases, and could legitimately be used as leverage against a victory.

Is that mirrored in PVP though? As resists and such are different for PVP aren't they?

Can't say for sure, however with the magnitude of the difference it will affect PvP significantly regardless. Bismarck.Josiahfk said: » Is that confirmed proth? Didn't know it acted so differently Yes. I've personally confirmed and documented it numerous times.

I can see that causing an issue, you'd have to wait till it's fixed or they make an adjustment to resists. But I can't see it being like that forever. Though again, this idea is more of a work around and it'd be better if SE made a hub for this sort of thing but I don't see that happening. I have recieved comments requests in regards to the the contest being "first to three" to be expanded to "first to five", "first to ten", etc.
There were many accusations the most humorous among them being: "Blood weapon + kraken club." "It is in your favor, because the enemy couldn't react to you and turn it around." "Etc." The first to three was in the interest of time, seeing as how I'm not necessarily "flooded" with serious participants, expanding it to five won't be impossible due to time constraints. I can't see how more fights is a problem, it would in theory just allow people to embarrass me further.

I wonder how hard something like that would be to even code for this game, if it's even possible. (I'm thinking something along the way the cocobo circuit functions) That being said, I'm sure they would ever do it, no matter what kind of pressure the player base would put on them, as that would allow transfer of gil/items between servers so much easier, and even for legitimate reasons I doubt SE would be in favor of that. Make a server where you can copy your character over and only the PvP zones are open.

While PvP doesn't have widespread popularity, I think it would certainly get a boost if you could just log on to another server and join in a fight with people from every server. Rather than having to buy pages and screw around with usually 5-10 people.
All they need to do is give pvp a way to get gear and other valuables from doing it and people will come.

The only reward I need is the tears of my enemy.

Ragnarok.Sekundes said: » All they need to do is give pvp a way to get gear and other valuables from doing it and people will come. Edit: But honestly I think the only way SE could really make PvP popular, is to make a separate live server that you could zone into. Where you are unable to trade items/gil or bazaar items. (this would be to prevent this server/zone from being used as bazaar ally, where you could have thousands of people just standing around afk). Have the focus be on team PvP 3v3 6v6 maybe 18v18. (1v1 could still happen, but I doubt SE would even consider something like this is if was aimed at 1v1). And either some sort of ranking system or points system to get rewards. (rewards will bring more of a player base).

Handy for any job that can employ varied effects from ammo types. I can't say for certain, as it's been years since I've really done PvP aside from the lulz. But I think yes
