Star Wars: The Old Republic PVP

It’s hard to get player vs. player (PVP) gameplay properly balanced in an MMO game. In Ultima Online, it was all PVP all the time, with only the cities safe. At first, World of Warcraft only had PVP on certain servers, then they developed battlegrounds as PVP instances.

Taking a tip from that, the PVP combat in Star Wars: The Old Republic looks like objective based battlegrounds from this trailer. In this case, it’s an attack/defend scenario that looks like it could actually be a lot of fun.

I’m trying not to get my hopes up about this game due to the crap that was pulled with Star Wars Galaxies, but I must admit that I can’t wait to try this out.
