Quick Update…
December 11, 2007 – 8:38 amHey guys, sorry for the lack of content these past few days. I’ve been pretty sick and haven’t been able to muster enough energy to just have it sapped away by my evil laptop. Things are looking up though, so I’ll start posting again tonight. If I can keep on schedule, the next comic will be out on Thursday too! 
Here’s a couple quick reads to keep you entertained:
- Keen and Graev’s take on Punkbuster in MMORPGs - Why not check out the rest of their site while you’re there?
- How to make a game with PvP done right - Interesting post by Scott Jennings (former Mythic - DAOC employee)
See ya soon!

The PvP article is pretty good, but it basically comes down to the fact that there is no perfect balance for PvP, no correct answer.
I think all consumers can hope for is for whatever MMOs they buy to be well balanced, with new features being implemented/thought up from time to time. The natural evolution of how players use/exploit those features will actually be leading any real change to the MMO PvP genre.

When I originally linked to the PvP article it was pretty basic but it appears as though he did some updating and there are a lot more points of interest.
But yeah, it’s pretty darn hard to please EVERYone. I think the perfect game would offer a balance of rich PvP and PvE content but neither will give you better rewards for focusing in one area.
IE. You could get equally powerful items no matter which avenue of the game you wished to pursue.
