best reason to join the pvp server:

because you already have a character on a pve server

There is a reason they made non-hostiles blue and hostiles red. If you want to take the redpill and enjoy the true matrix experiance of survival and tactics, go Vector. Or take the bluepill and dance at Mara C.

Tjink of it this way, it is alot more realistic when someone can kill u at a meeting with opposite forces, ie merv meeting with zion or ect... Raither than have to flag yourself or sit in mara all day and dance and chat. Believe me I have friends on other servers and they wish they would of started on vector. But try it see what you like I guess. It is a players choice. Thats why they have the care bear servers.

In response to something Midnight said about not being able to do anything on Vector, I disagree.  Not everyone on Vector will continually kill you THE VERY SECOND you hit 16.  There are a few definable groups of players, from cq enthusiasts, to the honourable few who won't fight anyone more than a couple of levels below them.  The hardcore neanderthal cq hunters are in the minority (DISCLAIMER-Not all of the hardcore cq hunters are neanderthals SMILEY).  You absolutely will meet many from each group but that's what makes The Matrix....The Matrix.  It's up to you the individual to learn to defend yourself, and eventually exact some revenge on those who did get their cq way back when you were 16.  At the risk of doing the broken record thing, the operatives in the movies wouldn't jack in and wander around without a care in the world.  They were always watching their backs, spending as little time as possible on anything that wasn't relevant to the task at hand.  There was no deleted scene in which Neo said; "Combat training? I'm sure the people wanting to kill me dead will understand I'm a pacifist, ooooh carrot cake"  This isn't to say that Vector is constantly fighting each other and that's all (Wait a sec......SMILEY), rp is a daily occurence, and there if you want to indulge in it.  Dancing does indeed ensue at Mara C on occasion (Usually accompanied by random yelps of Mike Jones) The thing that differentiates Vector from the rest however, is the community.  I firmly believe it's the best out of the three servers.  I'm not going to list a bunch of explanatory reasons, I simply urge any of the naysayers to give it a go for a while, and find out for yourself. 

 

P.S I was in the high 30's before I got officially 'Ganked' you can take steps to avoid it.

<------- Went from Recursion to Vector

 

Lol yea I think Midnight must be basing it on a select few people. I love Vector and have been for a while now. Got a great faction and lots of great people. I can say for sure there is less Drama not that there isnt any.

 

Its about what you love though in the end. I'm a pvp type of a guy so it makes sense. I still do enjoy going back to Recurison to hang with some buds.

I'm actually wondering about this too.

 

I'm an returning player (It's patching at the moment) and i was wondering if a Hostile Server would be the way to go?

 

I want to do quests, get to 50, and so on, but i also want to PvP.

 

Any ideas on wich server?

yeah ignore my first post from way up top there.  Hostile is the only way to go.  It's a true matrix experience, and you might even have a chance to work with or get killed by the Sniper Squad.

Right this is very simple. I have always been on syntax i started there i just randomly choose a server back when we have 9 and i didnt even know the difference between hostile and not...(come to think about it i didnt even know what pvp was lol). I took it upon myself to level and get to learn the game on syntax i was able to take my time, something that you really cant do on vector as you have no choice its going to happen no matter what. I reached 50 and spent my time on syntax untill i got bored n leveled my vector alt. Now i know both sides, and i love the feel of vector but nothing can take away what is syntax to me and it will always by my main server.

And do be honest RP if its a big thing doesnt happen that often on vector, and if it does its preorganised and a small event (unless its an RP character by let/lesig/pet) i say go syntax or recursion and then try out vector once you gain some skills on a non hostile.

 

Good luck with your choice.

its all down to personal prefereances, in my opinion you dont get large pvp battles all the timne as you do on the "carebear servers" but i still spent 99% of my time when in mxo on vector, instead of my home server syntax....its a good place to practice speed killigns too, how quick can you kill someone before they call backup and you get zerged SMILEY

but yeah give it a try sometime, you got nothing to lose

Vector all the way. It makes it more exciting being flagged all the time and wondering who your gonna punt next. Waiting for the next unfortunate soul to appear without an evade shield. If you don't wanna pvp on vector then don't go to mara c then or just load MS.

You go to recursion or syntax and all you see is people dancing or talking, maybe what you wanna do but its got to be boring. Yeah they have RP but so does Vector, not as much but certain factions run there own RP, alot of merv factions do.
