Right, so I've got a 50 on all three servers and this is how I percieve things from what I've experienced on all three servers.

Vector: Tends to be concentrated PvP, what I find is that when one side is winning everyone comes out of the woodwork until they start losing or people start logging off because they are winning then the next org, who was on the recieving end of the big group of players, starts grouping together as they see the other orgs numbers lessening and make their attack. Each and every cycle of this, a couple of dedicated players may stick around to try pick off players or whatever. There are a lot more hyper jumpers on Vector than on Syntax on Recursion. In my opnion, those that do Hyper jump, do it because they simply can't reconstruct and come out Mara central unflagged and prepare to flag up. I'm not one of those players, but thats the reason I percieve for them to hyper jump. I hate that they do it as much as anyone else. Oh, forgot to add: Numerous players on vector tend to dream and live in la-la land, where by they talk absolute **bullcrud** and act like the dogs bollocks with delusions of grandure.

Syntax: There are some interlock builds on syntax, there is a lot more temporary trucing too. Vector had a phase where it's two smallest orgs would truce to beat Zion as they had almost double the numbers of the org, many Mervs on Vector believed Systematic Chaos ruined that trucing system and frankly if we were the cause, I'm glad we did because it makes for much more entertaining PvP. Syntax tends not to hyper jump as much, likesay, because of the fact you can recon and come straight back out of Mara C. Syntax Mervs tend to have more MKT's than anything else, that was probably due to the fact that they had lesser numbers in their org for a while. Thats not the case now, but they tend to follow the MKT trend, which is fair enough. Can't complain.

Recursion: There are more interlock builds on this server, than any other. There's also a lot more TB'ers and HB'ers. Fair enough, thats their style. PvP isn't as active here as it used to be, in my experience. That may have changed recently, but since Fallen Horizon and IP Conflict quit on mass, there's not been as many enemies to combat.

One can't actually say, definitively, that one server is better than the other. Each has their differences, Strengths and weaknesses. If we ever have a test server back up, then perhaps we can host some kind of strategic kind of PvP tournament to decide a team of six of the best for each server and then PvP, but, until that happens we'll be basing our debates off personal experience not cold hard facts.

That's probably the most accurate and unbiased description thus far I'd say. I think it's also worth noting that in my experience on Syntax, PvP is really easy to find or start. When it does start, it only snowballs from there.

MO-  per say Hyper Jumping.... I'm a sniper with commando gear.  I have no resis to MA/Viral and minimal to MKT.  So tell me why would I want to stay in the heat of a battle... Ohh nvm.  You must be talking to the "General" population of what we like to call Hyper Jump Masters.  I guess Hyper Jumping should be only used for running from point A to B.  And that the devs should some how lock the HJ ability while pvping.
Since my return this is all I hear..

Get different clothes then, you don't HAVE to wear all Elite Commando gear to PvP as a Sniper.

Yeah, there's more than enough gear which is effective. You're never going to be fighting against each build at any one time, so build your clothing around it.

My point, was actually defending those that hyper jumper also. Because at times depending on numbers, it's just not effective to come straight back out of a hardline flagged so they might jump away or whatever.

..... Thats not really 100% true... Exploits on syntax use every build really when pvping we tend to have a hacker gunmen a kt and a ma.

*Sigh* All these people whining about Zion zergs, EVERY org zergs, get over it.

I made a lvl 50 alt of another org simply so that when Zion is zerging I can log onto him and keep PvPing without it being EZ mode.
This is exactly why I have 50s as different orgs.

Nothing beats vector pvp, love how you are forced to flag. You can go Recursion for somtimes hours without meeting any flagged players. Syntax and recursion only got pvp around mara c or somtimes camon C on recursion, makes little variation in using the enviorment. vector for pvp.

I now have a Vector 50, and when I logged on tonight, there was nothing. No one was signed on. As soon as I logged into Syntax, I saw 3 people flagged.  I'm still going to have to go with Syntax.
