The New Account Experience
I've been testing a new account for patterns.
Just like in the MMO 'Age of Conan,' there is an early-game PvE, and the social environment is quite pleasant. The people are friendly, helpful and perform acts of team-work. Victory is assured, and Us vs Them is properly sorted.
That ceases to be the case at the borderlands between PvE and PvP, with the introduction of the possibility of defeat.
