3 sided PvP

in General Discussion
Imo, and many others, the best type of PvP is 3 sided type of PvP, as in DaoC, ESO or GW2.
Would you like to see some content like that? Maybe linking up 3 servers like in GW2?

    I prefer to keep stuff isolated on the server. Feels more intimate and personal. Server pvp feels very non immersive

    Its actually historicly been the other way around.
    Defending your server becomes a collective pride and very immersive.
    The type of PvP AoC will have havent been well recieved before in other games unfortunally.
    As a PvPer i hope it will be better, but i have my doubts.

    You are aware the largest pvp server will win 90% of the time?

    I'd like to see that happen organically in open world PvP but not as extra content developed for instanced/arena-type PvP.

    3 sided PvP is terrible, what are you talking about?
    There has never been a moment like "my heroic faction rises above and beyond in this 3 sided war"

    It's just an annoying mess with random victors, and nothing to do with good tactics.
    This is coming from a person that played eso for 5.5 years(3 sided war) and never played wow (typical 2 faction war).

    If there are ANY BG pvp in AoC I want it plain and simple.
    One team vs another team, let the better team win, not team v team v team let 1 win at random.

    Ah, thats where the "3 sided" comes into play.
    The other 2 will then come together to take out the strongest.
    One of the best parts of 3 way PvP and not 2 sided where it leads to camping.

    The other AoC, Age of Conan, had a smiliar type of sieging and it was bad.
    Shadowbane had something similiar aswell.
    Having time based "challange" type of PvP has been kinda meh in all moorpgs that have had it

    Server vs servers, factions, sides. All of that takes choices are out of my hands.
    It's bad. I want liberty to kill whomever I want.
    Also historically Server vs Server had no real implications for your character, just some random message saying you won.
    In AoC your name matters.

    You just implement an inspect button where it says "previously known as" and it's done, people will still know.
