PvE vs. PvP - Game Systems Potential

[Robert Tyburne 17]

Do we have a good idea of what the differences in play are, besides the obvious lack of being able to hurt players? I'll confess that I have a harder time seeing such systems as government or trading really matter in a world where there's no player on player action. Is the monster faction going to provide opportunities for these systems to function to their greatest potential?

I believe it depends on the necessity for specific items and the difficulty to obtain them. Obviously in a PvP server, you have the added risk of dying to players, so the marketplace/trading system will probably be more useful, therefore being stronger in comparison. However, if specific items are difficult to obtain, then PvE could also have a strong economy/marketplace/trading system. I think we will really just have to wait and see how it ends up playing out in the coming weeks.

Having legit scarcity tied to geography is exactly what I'm hoping for so that we can have that economy game be a thing. Part of what makes games like EVE so appealing for the economy players.

I'm hoping so as well. I'm not a huge fan of PvP in survival games such as this, so I am hoping that there will be ways implemented for a PvE server economy to thrive.

Agreed

PvE would make, breeding, building, trading, exploring easier as there is less danger

while i do like pvp there is just to many factors that i dont want, its if you cant be on 24/7 or dont have a big tribe pvp is hard, so hoping pve has a good economy

I think it is important to have some degree of scarcity tied to geography in order for an economy to flourish, in both PvE and PvP. I think it is even more so important to have that in a PvE style server. I'll be interested to see what other factors will impact it.

I'll admit being a bit confused by the title. I thought this was going to be about having the PvE servers fight the PvP servers.

I was just going to say that I'm pretty sure the PvP servers would win that.
