I would watch that crossover.
My guess allot of people with thin skin will depart.
Having lawless zones completely changes that dynamic and I believe would do more harm than good for the long-term health of the game.
Carebear pretty much means intolerant of combat/killing.
Open Seas will be the deal-breaker for PvEers. Lawless Zones are just more fun for PvPers.
There will be a balance between PvP and PvE. If the weight is much toward the PvP then PvE players will not pay subscription.
Steven's bet is that there is a middle ground. He will observe during Alpha 2 if he was right or not and how to balance the game.
Steven's perspective of middle ground is from the perspective of a hardcore MMORPG PvPer.
There isn't really a right or wrong. It's just playstyle preference.
Lawless Zones fit well with Steven's target audience.
Ashes is not made for everyone.
But... we still have to see if Lawless Zones will remain for release.
For now, they are being implemented primarily to act as a place-holder for the Open Seas.
I want to see the golden cohort.
