I havent been able to find any useful information about this so im going to assume that it doesnt exist. Im talking about defecting from one team to another. I believe everquest2 has a quest for this, although thats more of a time sink game then a PvP.
Will there be a quest/option to defect from one team to another? If not, one should be considered.
I understand both sides are heavily at war, and tensions run high between the factions, but there are a few reasons I feel override this.
Storyline Reason: During war, you can never have too many meaty bodies on your front line. Every defector takes one body off your enemy line and adds it to yours. And wouldnt you rather send the inferior defector races off to die before your own troops?
Game Enjoyment Reason: To help unite friends who each want opposing races as their main character, but wish to play together on the same side. Also will curtail those annoying racial imbalance whines that eventually pop up in EVERY MMO.
The quest to defect should be difficult and have some requirements. I was thinking that you need a minimum PvP rank of 15 or 20 out of the cap of 50, and upon switching sides your PvP rank is reset to 1, because they have no reason to trust you.....yet. And maybe while your PvP rank is low the citizens of the other city scowl and catcall you
Oh and the quest should be lengthy and difficult, and once done cannot be undone.
