Why wouldn't D3 just have a server FOR PK, like an ANARCHY SERVER, where everyone is always hosty, and you can just PK on a whim, anyone you see for any reason, like many other games, like many Pservers for RO, or requiem, etc.
And a regular server, requiring standard request to duel type stuff?
I'd like that a lot more. I'm sure this has been addressed at some point, but I can't see why this wouldn't just end the debate right here and there.
Blizzard said they would like to avoid splitting the community to that extent. They want to keep the gaming community as a whole as much as possible. With Hardcore and Softcore, doing another sever split would hinder their vision.

That's basically the extent this needs to be explained. It's preferable to keep the community unified so there aren't any objections about one server getting it easier and forcing people to play on that server or fall behind.

Yes, things similar to this have been brought up multiple times and generally the reaction has been split between those who see things the way you do and those who don't want to be punished for their preference for a game with PK enabled.
Ironically, both sides feel the exact same way that you do (generally I feel most posters do) that their statement is enough to end the debate. It never is.
Oh, I didn't think I'd end the debate. I just wanted more info. I don't mind a server split because seriously, this game is gonna have sooooo many players. HC/SC is one split, so we could have HCPK, HKnoPK, SCPK, SCnoPK.
Because the way I see it, everyone will have to accept an annoying comprimise if they don't split it. I'd like a "kill anyone at any time" server. When I first discovered games like this, I fell in love, and would love D3 to have that - but on the other hand I recognize that many people hate that. i mean, hell, they could not even have a HC server like that, as it might be stupid.
I like the server split idea. If being PKed is SO much fun for the prey, there should be no problem filling those servers right? Oh wait.. PKers only want to kill people who don't want to be killed. Griefing is an integral part of their playstyle, so of COURSE they hate the idea of a server split. I frankly think that the idea of prey enjoying being PKed is a load of horse manure, but if there are enough people out there who do like it, then I see no reason to deny them a server of their own. I can even see it being fun, I might play--especially if there were no hacks, but no sense allowing PKs to ruin everyone elses game otherwise.
The idea is fine and I don't see why people are worried about community splitting. We already have East, West, Asia, Europe, Ladder, non-Ladder, Softcore, Hardcore.
Adding PK servers would be better than removing them altogether. Even if they community gets smaller, that's not really a bad thing, you'll recognize people better. Huge communities kinda feel... huge.
