Halberd PVP server has earned its reputation as the most chaotic and least regulated servers in the Eventide flock.
Rampant Player Killing and Uncensored Mayhem in Rubies of Eventide!
Ridgewood, NJ – April 5th, 2005 -- The carebears never saw it coming. The game was doing well, the players happy, and Game Moderators contented. But when first blood fell on the Halberd PVP server, a peaceful mmorpg by design suddenly became a bloody proving ground for the PVP prone.
Guildofficer Pookie, of Purity guild, comments on her guild’s growing assimilation of Halberd’s population, “Soon, all Halberd will be; one Pure bunch of Guild Purity! Well, ‘cept for some that like to backstab some others, and there's always a few dat want to challenge our greatness so we uh still haveta keep on our toes.”
Within a week of its introduction, the Halberd PVP server has earned its reputation as the most chaotic and least regulated servers in the Eventide flock. In stark contrast to Fire Opals, a rigidly moderated Role-Play Server, Halberd is the personification of wholesome unruly fun. Besides the three safe zones (Kajblood town, Kajblood Keep, and Founder's Isle) anywhere can be an arena for battle. To promote this new server, some custom tweaks were thrown into the mix to make life more challenging. For instance, loot bags are not protected, bodies of the slain can be hijacked by their victors and stashed away, /Help is a global taunt channel, PVP is active on characters over level 5, creatures are 30% more aggressive, strong language is tolerated, and for the time being naming rules are suspended. At first, Tristan (GM-Gabrielle) was skeptical, "Once I created a character and started playing though, the community once again proved itself to be superior to any other I’ve seen. If someone acts like a jerk, we just form a party and hunt them down. It doesn't get any better than that." Further encouraged by the ability to scout other players like mobs (creatures for the hunt), roving "funeral parties" are quite common on Halberd, a feature exclusive to Halberd only.
According to Jeff Grubb, Partner and Lead Programmer, "Often, the best defense is a strong character build. But we've got a few surprises planned to keep everyone humble, like incoming character clones from other servers.”
