Im happy with the PvP server and the safe zones around my base. I am also not one who do PvP but i have no trouble whit the server and see no need for a PvE server.
Btw its hard to do PvP if you can not see or find anybody.
The population is not that big.
Just my opinion.
Ever asked your self? why the population is not that big in Xsyon?
PvP people asking, why can't we attack other players? if Xsyon is a PvP?
PvE players are asking to make Xsyon more safe.
Both players aren't happy with mixed PvP and PvE together.
PvP server should be total PvP "no safe zones" that is what PvP is all about, there will be gankers and griefers, there will be robbery and steeling, that what makes PvP unique.
PvP and PvE can't be mixed together.
You can make PvP as an option on PvE server, and if one feel ready enough for the challenge could join a PvP server.
Only then you can satisfy both PvP oriented players and PvE oriented players.
I have ask myself that many times and i think it has nothing to do with the PvP server or a PvE server.
There are a lot of other problems and things that cause a low population, read the forums and you see a lot of good points.
I understand your call but on this moment i see no reasons to start up a PvE server.
Again this is my opinion.
I agree with you, Xsyon might not have enough cash to sustain two servers for the development stage at a current given time, but He can make a 100% PvP server "no safe zones" or PvE with optional PvP server to have more people in it for the testing purposes.
Xsyon can't have both open world PvP and PvE "safe zones" on the same server, that ruins all the fun for either.
2D and 3D refer to graphics representation. They are not used to define complexity or realism. Your comparison is woefully incorrect. My advice would be to post in suggestions and move on. Making idle threats with absolutely zero reasonable dialog or explanation is not doing your suggestions any favors.
