There are area's like that, they are teamp and made by Admin, there are some permanent ones in some of the clubs aswell.  I just dont want 2 whole districts made hostile and I am not worried about change, I started on a non-hostile server because I dont want to be perma flagged, if you do its your choice but if no one flags up that means they dont want to fight, forcing them to means they will just get sick and leave the game.  They are already talking about RPers being a dieing breed, and giving the people the chance to attack and ruin it.  People are trying to get RP away from Tabor W on Syntax but we would be left with the down trodden Richland or the deserted and destroyed Westview.

That fact that Vector isn't as populated is a big fact that everyone doesn't want to be flagged permanetly.

    doenst mean people wouldnt like to play in a pvp environment, a lot of work goes into leveling a character, as well as farming for good items, like I said this is the Matrix, you need to be able to handle yourself in a given situation, im just saying international and downtown should be the hotzones

Your points about Pacification Zones are completely worthless. The devs pacified a few clubs, not entire districts. If the devs went and pacified all of Richland and Westview on Vector I believe people would be rather more cheesed.

How about this, there are small pacification zones on Vector, so lets make a few Dojo's and Fight Clubs hostile, sound fair?

I have a 50 on Syntax, and I have started a character on Vector, on Syntax people can actually gather in one place safely to start a big PvP battle.  On Vector, there has to be a Live Event to get a large gathering of people to match anything that Syntax can come up with.  ((Bare in mind, I have only been in Richland on Vector for a small amount of time))

On Vector usually we need more tactical thinking, if theres 10 Zions in Mara C we go to Mara W and buff up, then go and take as many down and hopefully occupy Mara C, then the Zions will do the same and try and take back Mara, also then you get skirmishes around the whole of the megacity with 1 or 2 people fighting. Syntax thats not really needed, unflagged all you need to take out someone is get 3 people to snipe one person when blue.

Then why call it a non hostile server?

If you want to be permanently flagged, go to Vector.

If you want to safely go AFK in Mara C, go to [insert non-hostile server here].

You can't have your cake and eat it.

That is the downside to Non-Hostlie PvP and I will admit that I have done it, but the bigger majority of people do flag up from free-fire or attempting to IL someone.  I am mainly a SMG Specialist and usually flag up with a pinning fire, mabey a Pistol Barrage if I'm feeling fruity SMILEY they are quick hitters so even if I was flagged I could probably land them on someone before they could counter-attack.  But I am adamant that making Non-Hostile servers Hostile is the worst thing to do to counter blue attacks.

If you dont want to start leveling a character on Vector now, you should have picked Vector earlier.  I know people who can get a level 50 in 9 real life days (not /play days) and then it is just a point of getting the clothes which can take all of 5 minutes if you find a friendly faction ( Causality ftw SMILEY ) you will have earned enough info to level all the abils from the missions.  Abils can be gained from your faction mates or by becomeing self suficient aswell.  No one said it would be easy, but if you want Hostile so much as for them to make 3 districts to be hostile you will start clean on a new server for it.

RP and PVP are both alive on Vector, if you know where to look. The only problem we have stems from the majority of our population moving over to Recursion to participate in the Vector Olympics, er, Recursion Olympics or from the original migration of almost every large faction from Vector to Recursion. Dark Mavericks and Furious Angels were once very prominent groups of Mervs and Zion, respectively, until they opted to leave.

Personally, I've had a hard time stumbling across RP on Syntax and not so hard a time finding it on Vector. Unless all of the RP that takes place on Syntax happens through tells, I haven't really seen anything outstanding. If anything, I'm more bored to tears over the lack of anything to do on Syntax. With the exception of one person who has helped me quite a lot, I find that my life on Syntax is spent slow and boring. While running missions, I am flagged in the hopes that I'll stumble across someone who is my level to fight. If I stumble across someone who is much higher and they kill me, so be it. At least it's something... I'l just kill them when I am 50 in carebear land.

Not everyone likes to PVP.

I agree with having certain areas perma PVP, like the gov building and stuff like that but even then its a tough line.

I joined SYntax for the ability to wonder where I want without fear of attack.

I would like to take this time to say something....
i started out on syntax, i leveled there, created a new character once i hit 50....i totally forgot about vector. Untill a while ago. Once i started to level my character there, i found the experience something new and extremely exciting. You say you don't want to pvp, but wheres the fun in having to /flag even for RP. Have you experienced vector fully? Have you spent he time to level to 50 there? no. How can you say you don't like it when you haven't tried? SMILEY I deffinatly suggest that you do.
I would also like to note VECTOR IS NOT EMPTY! It holds the same if not slightly less people that the other two, the only reason its "empty" is because you can phisically see people! Everyone on vector has they're own place, they all go there. Very rarely do people stay at mara other than to pvp for obvious reasons.

I've always played on Vector-Hostile, and now I just started playing on Syntax in the faction "The Nemesis".

I gotta admit, I've noticed one thing about Syntax players. They don't use "Evade Combat Shield". That's going to be a problem if PVP Areas is going to be made, lol.
