PvP in TR is carebear enough as it is. It's still entirely consensual even if you're a PvP Clan. All being a PvP Clan means is that you can declare war on other clans... that's it. Only when you declare war are you open game to the clans you're at war with, and vice versa. And of course, when you're tired of war you just surrender (or I believe there's a time limit - details are forthcoming).

What Gloop is referring to as the "3rd option," is really just being a PvP clan and simply not declaring war on anyone until we're comfortable. Obviously, war is a touchy thing and shouldnt be taken on lightly. We'd have practices and training of course before engaging any other clans in war.

To me, PvP is really where the crux of a LOT of TR's current content lies. I'm not willing to sacrifice it just to be completely PvE. PvP is really PvE anyways, with a twist.

Plus, being a PvP Clan affords you more clan tracking/statistics along with rewards you can earn, etc. For a game that people are a bit worried about initial content, obviously being PvP takes up the slack in a nice way.

Having 2 clans is not a bad idea since we've already got a common teamspeak channel and forums... not to mention we've got a completely customizable chat system in-game. What's nice about TR is we can have the Clans on the same server... there are no separate servers in regards to PvP/PvE.

We've got a few weeks before we have to decide really. There's another patch scheduled for next week that will hopefully have PvP content added, then we'll know more details. Ultimately, TG is really a community not a singular guild... we could conceivably have many clans/squads under the TG banner. Although it IS nice to consolidate, especially in a game where we dont really have THAT many people playing as of yet.

TR is SUCH a flexible game that we can really do whatever the heck we want aside from just PKing people.
