What Davey said, there is a lot more pvp going on, but fewer red areas or port battles at the moment.
Part of that for sure is because of the general turmoil things are still in. Many people are waiting for a map win on their old server(s) before moving over, so I expect everything to be a bit in chaos and going slow until the month is over. Concerning this, the 2 main problems, in my opinion, are:
- PVP and the nations being organized again: This is going very slow and there are/were problems with people already being on Rackham and others arriving from other servers (for example Ditka, Beer, etc.). Things here still need time to get in order (I am sure other nations have the same problems with getting organized).
- Society recruitment: Is going slow as well. I hope things will be better once everything has settled down again. As I wrote above, everything usually is upside down right after a server merger, you have to give it time to settle down.
