After re-reading a certain hands-on report from MMORPG.com staff Keith Cross (that report is here) I noticed the part about a Capture the Flag PvP scenario.  ..  What?  Capture the flag?  Why?  Does anyone else remember where the capture the flag scenario in MMOs debuted?  I think we all know.

This disappoints me.  What do you guys think about it?  Have the devs stated whether or not this capture the flag will make it into the final build?

Its just for a Fun factor, just like the tavern brawling fights.

If you want, you can go for a CTF game, if not, just don't go.

I agree, capture the flag is a dorky addition to this game.

The game having a lot of PvP options is nothing but a good thing. If you don't like it, don't play it.

I intend to live forever -- So far so good!

If you ask me there does not need to be some contrived excuse of flag capturing to make me want to kill other people.  I feel it does not fit with the lore of any mmorpg game.  I'd like them to keep this to a war scenario.  I'm there to fight people because they're invading my territory, not because they have captured my flag or taken control of some spot on the map that has no impact on the general world in any way shape or form.

Gamer fanboi. All games are good and/or great, in their own way! Stop da hate and go forth and play!

Is it Conan's flag?

If so then may it be heard far and wide that the point of taking the flag is:

To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.

Sounds like AoC is again going to be catering to children, to bad.
