> [@benji86](#): > > well, this whole game is basically about pvp. you might have a hard time avoiding it 😛 From what I read it’s based around RvR, and that your Realm can advance by many different means including PvP and PvE. “However, players are not required to participate in PvP combat, and may aid in the RvR war effort and enjoy the game in its entirety via PvE content.” ---

yes it is RvR which is nice if you want to pvp or just support. Also the raiding in the beta was kind of cool also ---

I usually suck at these games. I used to play knight online which was a free MMORPG but it was mainly about doing missions. I never could figure out how to be any good beyond the basic quests that built up your character. ---

But most of the game revolves around pvp action. There is definitely pve stuff to do, but it’s not close to the majority ---

Alright kids, heres the deal if ur runnin visa to extract the folder for beta you need to use winrar for some reason vista extractor will not extrat it properly, now after u get it extracted you have to install this version of directx heres a link to download it [http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=ea4894b5-e98d-44f6-842d-e32147237638&DisplayLang=en](http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=ea4894b5-e98d-44f6-842d-e32147237638&DisplayLang=en) after that you should be good to go, im gettin a log in error but I think its because I have an open beta key and they dont unlock servers for open till the 7th hopin midnight tonight ---

ummm you had to order to get into the open beta… there are so many pre orders I doubt you will see a key because they dont need to give them out to get feedback ---

so do they offer a free trial like WoW does? I am tempted to try to see if I can get into the PvP in it since WoW has so much fucking quests that I cant stand. ---
