Woot! Server lists, rulesets announced and some thoughts

Oneputt here. Mythic has announced their server lists and rulesets! They are launching with Open RvR despite saying they may delay that ruleset! Kick ass.

As I see, they plan to keep chickening in Open RvR. Ultimately, I think this is a mistake as I mentioned in my previous post. What some of you may or may not know, chickening does exist on the Core RvR servers as well! If you come back from Tier 3 to Tier 1 and you are flagged for RvR, then you turn in to a chicken. So while you can do quests or help friends and guildies, you cannot RvR in those areas. If you are a high lvl healer, and your friends are flagged, you cannot heal your friends because you’ll turn in to a chicken as that flags you for RvR. You cannot touch any siege weapons as that flags you for RvR. Something to keep in mind.

Another potential annoyance with Open RvR… I’ve noticed collision detection only occurs if you are flagged for RvR. Since you’ll always be flagged for RvR on an Open server, collision detection will always be on. Kinda annoying when you are in towns but not that big a deal. It could provide issues when you are in narrow passage ways such as dungeons, caves or tombs. Hopefully this was properly QAed. Time will tell!

So what are we playing? Need to decide quick. How about the rest of the community? Let us know your thoughts on the Open ruleset and servers.
