Queue times are shorter and the PvP servers appear to be thriving again! Starting zones are packed and little skirmishes are already happening out in the world. Come make these servers strong again! Just because it's a PvP server doesn't mean raid guilds won't form! Also, the lag is MUCH better on the PvP server. Like, 10x better.
 
For new people reading this, the PvE server is only extremely populated due to a bad handling of early server transfer that prevented anyone from transferring to the PvP servers. It wasn't because ganking was rampant or that PvP sucked. Don't roll on the PvE servers because you heard the PvP server is dead; if you do that, it'll just stay that way. The PvP server is doing well, so come make it better!
 
And according to this poll, the PvP servers hare a more balanced faction ratio! :)

I just want to see the servers thrive again. I remember WPvP in the early months of WildStar and had a blast. I know some people are afraid of ganking, but I honestly feel it happens much less than people think. Since you can queue up for most dungeons/arenas, you don't have to really worry about being constantly attacked unless you're seeking it.

Nobody is suggesting that people who don't like PvP should go to the PvP server. In fact, please don't go there if you don't enjoy it. =)
 
However, maybe some people were planning on doing a lot of battlegrounds or arenas anyway, but hadn't considered the PvP server. If that is the case, then those people should strongly consider playing on the PvP server.
 
That is all.
 
Thank you.

I cannot go to pvp servers. I think Dominion ladies are hawt and, even as an exile, I would have no heart to harm them. Well then theres Chua... which sort of tempts me to actually roll a pvp character.
 
I am confused.

			I love PvP but I will not go to a PvP Server because I don't enjoy being killed while running PvE.

			Seems like everytime I play a PVP server, theres always a small group of dbags that camp he newb area.  Or they find you in a low level zone and corpse camp you.PVP to me means, "We are not going to allow you to level and explore!"

Just so everybody knows - if you go to the pvp server you WILL get ganked while questing. Wildstar, during launch, was KNOWN for the ganks people would perform on noobies. There are entire blockades people tend to do just so you can't quest, which is why the pvp servers died.
 
Take this warning to heart, and do what you wish with it.

I hate pvp, or I would roll on it. Seems more people don't care for pvp which is why the pve server is bursting with obscene queue times.. /sigh.
 
Ahh well. I'm patient, I'll just work on my projects and wait for the nonsense to die down.

			The question is. Is the pvp server lagging right now? Like. Lag spikes every 5-10 seconds, like entity? If that's the case, no.

			I had no queue just now on the PvE server  -confused as to all the complaints maybe these people are EU?

The lag is server wide so even if you join the PvP server now you will lag...on a pvp server...that being said...i'm cracking my knuckles and feeling ready to get punished.

Its because of ganking  ppl dont go to pvp servers , they dont want to be an entertainment for some fool with lots of time to waste
 
When ppl complain about ganking  they get the response"Pvp happened in a pvp server go reroll pve" 
 
Yeah sorry but i dont think you are going to convince any of them to transfer XD
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
This ^^
 
"There are huge faction imbalances on the PvP server" This is a product of newer players getting ganked. As such, this also on of the causes for players previous to the F2P change to switch to the PvE server as no one was willing to deal with the imbalances or ganking. Which is why I find the statement "Pvp happened in a pvp server go reroll pve" hilarious. That statement is one of the reasons people are complaining about the massive PvE server que times as the population is huge compared to the PvP server. 
 
I don't mind getting ganked every now and then, I hate being camped by a baddie whose only skill is killing lowbies.

When I was last on, I had zero lag. I can't say what it's like at the moment, so take that for what it is.
 
@xRaymanx - Looking forward to seeing you on Warhound!

None of this is true. At all. Funnily enough, the PvP server has the more balanced faction population, sitting at an almost even 50/50 split. What's your response to that?
 
http://strawpoll.me/5610160/r
 
The reason t he PvE population is huge has NOTHING to do with people not liking PvP. I don't plan to repeat myself for a third time, but read further up in this thread (because I know you didn't read every post before hitting Reply) and you'll see why the PvP server died.

I can confirm this guys! And the queue was less than a minute. Warhound is practically lagless. Also a healthy population.
 
Very VERY slight lag spikes, nothing major at all though.

Funny how I actually provide statistics for my claims and you just have anecdotes. Yet I'm the asshat?
 
You have no idea what you're talking about. All you're doing is going from topic to topic and complaining. It's clear that taking 5 minutes to read your posts shows that you're going to only play the game for awhile before quitting. Please, quit now. Spare us the time. 
 
Assuming it's true, I'm sorry you had ONE blockade happen to you. Even if it DID happen, that doesn't make it the norm. People don't like PvP servers because we enjoy ganking lowbies. That's the most idiotic thing I've ever heard. I like knowing that at any moment someone could jump me and that I need to defend myself. There's no rush like taking down an opponent who got he jump on you. But go ahead, generalize every PvP player because you're butt hurt and had a bad experience.
 
All you've done is throw about anecdotes and generalizations. You've provided nothing in terms of evidence or support for any of your claims and your posts drip with an inflated ego. Get over yourself and stop wasting our time. 
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
You sound like you are personally being attacked, however you are not. No one stated that every person that plays on a PvP server is an arsehat. However things that were mention do and have happened which causes people to get frustrated with PvP servers. Dont get me wrong I play on PvP servers for the thrill of staying on my toes, but staying on my toes is pointless when you do happen to be dealing with an arsehat ganker/camper. 
 
Also i already stated your statistics are no where near creditable unless the poll was built correctly and everyone playing votes.

			While I prefer pvp over pve, this is a new game and I'd like to level up and learn in peace without high level player ganking us. I did create a char in the pvp server because I wanted to see how the game was today, but won't keep it after a few levels.

			funny...I played at launch and never experienced any camping. I was even in a known pvp guild that was kill on sight by a lot of people yet i quested my way up to 50 without any problems dont get me wrong pvp did happen but it was people my own lvl and it was hella fun. If you want a real challenge and enjoy owpvp join a pvp guild and join warhound..the issues will only get worse if pvp players continue to go entity bc of the population alone.	
----
			
Interesting suggestion and for those new players who just want to see what the characters and classes look like while running around the tutorial this would work.
 
But in the long run PvP isn't everyones cup of tea. So even if Warhound has a shorter que time then Entity people will stick to waiting to play on Entity.

A GM edited his response. He originally *did* personally attack me but he post was edited due to language and content.

While I do like doing battlegrounds & arenas in other games. I do not like PvP servers. Because I like PvP on my terms. Meaning that I do not want to get ganked while questing or grinding. Therefore PvE servers meet the requirements of "my" play style. So they need to get with the program, and know that more people will choose PvE over PvP servers, and expand the capacity for the PvE servers.
 
You can go on & on about PvP, it's your choice. And I wish you all the fun on the PvP servers, but do not expect to see me on it.

That's weird. I was on it earlier and it was brimming with players. Duels occurring all over the place. The sever even has a queue.

Hey there guys, I am new player in  Wildstar but veteran in other mmo's. (Wow, rift, neverwinter etc). Normally I would roll pvp server (I have never actually played on pve since I enjoy the thrill of open world pvp, getting ganked out of nowhere or suprising an enemy by ganking, or sometimes even helping an enemy with a quest at the risk of getting backstabbed while you look the other way). HOWEVER:  I heard the the pvp server is completly dead on wildstar. I am considering of spending some amount of time and I wouldnt want my effort to be wasted to raise my character in both lvl/gear/raid etc and end up being in a server alone with the NPC's. I saw that even pvp server has a long queue time today (but it's a launch day so that might not say much) but still the status of server is labeled as "open" rather than medium or full.  So what would you do, would you take the risk of going to the pvp server now that the f2p version gave a chance of population? OR would you follow the safety of pve server? (Reffering mostly to pvpers).
 
OR could someone high level from the pvp server answer how the population is now?

and i find the random  duel request on the normal server annoying and I ignore them

			Its obvious that warhound isnt as populated as entity and to say nothing happens on a pvp server is turning a blind eye to potential scenarios but it is growing and will keep growing.The low lvl areas were populated last night and I know some that are keeping an eye on warhound to see how well it becomes populated and will switch if they see a healthy population, some guilds have already transferred over. lets focus on the real issue and thats trying to get pvpers who are on entity that enjoy owpvp but are only there for the population to switch over to warhound as well as welcome new pvpers to a friendly community and not try to deter players bc of his/her biased opinion. Don't forget all instanced group content is cross realm so your ques won't be affected by going on a less populated server. The more people see others switching the more that will follow.

			New player, just rolled on the PvP server. Can confirm that early leveling experience(so far <10) is totally the same as any other PvE server I've played on.

{| class="blockquote"
I am sorry if I gave the impression that I wanted to deter people from joining the pvp server. I actually want people to roll on pvp servers to make it a thriving one. :)
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
See, you're a great example of what people have done to deter new players in rolling on the PvP Realm.
 
Flesh: you are correct that before F2P hit, the PVP server was fairly empty. This was due to a flawed transfer system that ONLY let people transfer off of the PvP realm. When the game started to decline, people wanted to start grouping up together, and the population couldn't take the hit of being split. Since you can technically PvP on the PvE realm, people went there. In the process, no one could EVER go back to the PvP realm until it was too late. Now, with F2P live, the PvP realm seems to be thriving again. It has a queue and I saw tons of players in the starting zones and capital.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
No, no! I'm sorry man, I wasn't implying that YOU are part of the problem or did anything wrong. I was saying that you're a good example of what OTHER people have done. Because people have complained so much about the PvP servers and have called them "dead", you have this horrible view of what it's actually like. 
 
Really sorry for that!

no offense but you can say this till youre blue in the face (unless your skin color is blue then... idk) but it still HAPPENS and thats what some/most people want to avoid. i played pvp in other games and yes ganking varies from game to game, but with this game being out for over a year the threat of running into high level players is much greater than before. like some one stated they dont want to be a high levels entertainment.

I'd actually consider making a character on the PvP server.
Oh wait, character creation is also broken there... (EU anyway)	
----
			Returning player. Ended up rerolling on the pvp server this morning. My old characters are all pve, but I wanted a fresh start and pve character creation was busted last night. I figure if I end up sticking with it this time, then it's probably worth the price of a server transfer if the world pvp really bothers me.	
----
			This probably isn't it...but what if Entity lagging is just Carbines way of trying to ease people on to the PvP server...?
