In the Blue corner you have the WoW Kiddies and Hardcore PvP’ers, which will continue to execute hostages untill thier demands have been given to them.

But what of the debate? There have been many, and long thought out posts containing reasons for and against the FFA PvP and RvR. However, 85% of these people who want Evil races just want them for the thrill of being evil, I can say that myself have been lured into the temptation of evil. (If walking cows in WoW count, then yes, I’m evil)
Is that so much to ask? To be free from the troubles of ‘good’? Havnt you ever looked at a huge battle in a game or movie and said to yourself: “It would be have been easier to be evil”? And you cant say that Undead dont get all the chicks, I mean, who WOULDNT want a rotting corpse as a BF?

I can admit right now that I am a hardcore Tolkien fan, but I would have also fancied to have an Alt as an evil character, but I am confronted with the ‘Lore’ and ‘Fun’ issues which I shall explain.

On one hand, you have the ‘Lore’, which is a huge part of the Tolkien universe, and Tolkien would be rolling in his grave if he knew that Turbine were going to implement free-willed evil races. On the other hand you have the aspect of ‘fun’, which incorporates the large scale PvP battles that were depicted in the movies and books.
However Turbine decided to implement a PvP system called ‘PvMP’ which is a definate answer to to the FFA PvP’ers and the Lore purists.

What does PvMP have?

    * Good PC’s Vs Evil PC’s? - Check.
    * Persistant Evil characters? - Well, in one sense yes, so check.
    * Battle for areas of land within the PvMP zones? - From what I know of from Devs, check.
    * Variety of Evil PC’s to be? - Check.
    * Gankable Hobbits? - Within this zone, yes, so Check.

As you cans see, PvMP is the obvious answer to both sides of the great Evil/Good argument, without losing too much customers on either side, but does this fully satisfy either side? No, so this debate will probably never ever end.
