Xsyon, let's consider 2 server rulesets again

stick with one server, if EVE can do it then so can we.

Since I am a little unclear as to how the PvP works in this game, is it anything like EVE? EVE has safe areas, but does Xsyon? The second I logged in for the first time the other day I was killed by someone.

If there are safe spots, can someone explain that or point me to a faq that does? I don't mind the safe spots -- if anything, that represents police/law enforcement when tribes reach a certain level.

Spawning points are supposed to be safe zones, if it isn't working now it will hopefully work by launch time.

You can create tribes in the game you need 5 people for that. With 5 people joined you can plant a totem, and the surrounding area around the totem will be a safe zone for your tribe's members (if you choose to make an evil tribe your area won't be safe), no one can attack you there, and people who aren't tribemembers can't gather the resources on your land. Your buildings and containers are safe as well.

Solo players can make homesteads, this is similar to a tribe but can't grow. The homestead area is safe as well.

eve had a bit more money in the beginning to do what they did. eve was built from the ground up to be one world, it is not one server but one world spread across multiple servers, when you go through a gate sometimes you are crossing onto another server. from what i hear xyson was not coded with this in mind, i could be wrong but from what i've read the code would have to be rebuilt to do what eve has done.

This is correct. The game/engine cannot add more land/territory, at least that is what Xsyon told us. That's a core difference from the EvE world.

Where if anywhere did you read this? As far as I've heard the plan has /always/ been to expand to 10 times the land area eventually, as advertised on the homepage.

Eve has permanent safe zones too. No comparison.

UO has a PVP area and a PVE area. It works very well and brings in the PvP players and the PVE players.
