This seems as you're not seeing it from someones perspective who enjoys pvp, or scrap that someone who enjoys a game that's not extremely easy with little to no risk.

 

I don't have a problem with ppl enjoying PvP, I have a problem with being forced to take part to something I'm not interested in. PvE is harmless for other players (apart maybe from possible boss farming), while PvP means there's always an attacker and a victim. 

 

What I don't understand is why the PvP features already announced by the devs (arenas and the like) are not enough to cover the PvP aspect. Why do you insist on being able to force attack ppl if you fight with honor and don't use backstabing, catching them on low hp or other similar shameful 'tactics'?

Correct, Arena's are usually not enough for PvP fans. Unexpected PvP is way more fun than planned PvP. Arenas are 100% planned. Although if one is *flagged for PvP it could be argued that he's always ready for it, it depends on the person. This is a typical debate for any new game so even with the announced Arena and Battleground you can expect much harping. Personally I *am* looking forward to learning more about the battlegrounds, they can be fun too.

 

*BTW Flagging is another option, players could be allowed to flag themselves for PvP... anyone else they run into that is also flagged is fair game.

Can it be both an adventurers game and a war game? It have 6 spheres/"kingdoms"...

Just because it has several kingdoms doesn't mean it's a war game. It might get some endgame war type features later on, but IMO in order to feel natural and not something added to keep bored players busy that would require a different kind of game construction - like Aika, in which all game content is military based.

It also has pets. So it could become a Pokémon-type game.

It has gathering skills. So it could become a Farmville-type game.

It has cities. So it could become a Simcity-type game.

It has player interaction. So it could become a Sims-type game.

Apart from me coming up with even weirder ideas:

Yes, it could be a war game as well as an adventurers game. But that is ultimately the developers' decision.

And so far the developers have never given us the slightest suggestion that it will become a war game.

I am incline to war game because it give me a sense of security. When I PvE, I don't need to worry much that someone will backstab me. When I PvP, even if I lose I know that there will be players that will back me up.

Play Aika and you'll understand what I mean Having different features is one thing, building the entire game around 1 is another. In that game having massive wars makes perfect sense because that is what you're trained for throughour the game - from one mission & regiment to the next

You might wanna try The Aurora World when it goes in OB (currently in CBT). It's got the system you seem to like: different nations, you're safe until lvl 30 in your kingdom map, then you unlock a different one where ppl from rival nations meet and fight. Raids on other nations are possible, there are also nation wars, etc
