Just a personal opinion, but I hope they keep the pvp limited to certain non-essential areas and as much out of the regular game play as possible....pvp always bring all the "our class needs to be stronger" and "nerf all the others" and seem to bring such....and I think SWG is a perfect example of how things go terribly wrong when such happens. PvP also seems to attract all the "griefers" which usually changes the playerbase long term...but lets see what they do with this....imho they should focus on more live events like the old Best of the Best tournaments that were held in the arena in South Karana in EQ1. That kind of contest is good for the game.

First of all, i would expect PVP to be 100% consensual or imposed as a (new) server ruleset. So autodeclining pvp would save me the grief.

Second of all, contrary to EQ1 (dunno about SWG) and pre LU13 EQ2, every spell/combat art has a double-propertyset to them now... PVE and PVP. PVP changes, adjustments and nerfs will not impact on the PVE game at all.

So all in all -- i'm postiive about the addition.
