Thanks again Jahlon, 
 
Can you also talk about PvE aspects of the game for us that are not a true PvPer ?

I'm more PvE orientated with a dash of PvP in me.  Can a PvE person survive in a game like this ?

NDA still I think?

Can't get too concerned about combat mechanics until a game gets pretty well into development,  several titles (CU, CF, SC etc) have found it necessary to make significant design changes as they worked through delivery.

Few games can survive player "ingenuity" without the devs having to put in significant controls to temper the more "creative" members of the community.

Yes, there is going to be plenty to do for a person PvE wise.   As you saw the corruption penalties are going to be pretty stiff so I don't see this turning into a gankbox.

TL;DW

There is enough for people to do PvP wise that they don't have to go around killing people

Meaningful PvP

  Castle Sieges

  Node Sieges

  Arenas

  Caravans

  Guild vs Guild Wars

  Node vs Node Wars

Exactly!

And exactly why they are dedicated Alpha 1 Phase 1 to Combat testing so that if the combat is bad, or the mechanics of the games are bad, we can fix it right away.
