I enjoyed watching Evillinalive's Q&A with Rain this past week and one of his points was for the community to make a formal request for a PVE server if we wanted one.
I don't know if we need to "make a case" for a PVE server, and I'm honestly not sure how much support there is in the private server community for PVE servers, but I can say personally that I enjoyed playing on Darrowshire before it closed down. Also, I'm finding one of my hesitations for fully leveling a character on private servers is the ganking and camping aspect starting around level 30 + (which I know is "part of the game", so I'm not here making any judgements about that, only that I personally don't enjoy it). Also, I feel that ganking / camping / stream sniping is absolutely taking away from the ability to utilize streams to build the community and increase population... one PVE server would allow streamers to stream unimpeded.
These are just my thoughts of course, and I'm not looking to start a huge debate or anything (or engage in a huge debate for that matter). Just stating my wish for a PVE server option !
Thanks,
