many people are lurkers. there are also many that cannot play on US servers.
then there are those that will wait and see how it goes or just feel their pvp isn't up to snuff
i think the last nit it probably keeping most people back. i'd say, don't worry about it. just come on down and if you die, you die. no big deal. it's not like these are your main toons. just run back, res... and get back in it.
That's exactly how I felt! My only experience with PVP was a few situations when I got unexpectly ambushed a few times on carebear servers when they still had the bugs where you could be pulled into PVP against your will, or even know it before you were dead. THAT was no fun.
This is WAY different. We'll all have similar fairly decent gear (fresh D-K's), and somehow the deaths just don't matter. A whirling dervish of characters just whailing on each other it so much harmless fun, I never dreamed it could happen. This isn't at all like I'd heard that Arena and battleground was like. We have very little time invested in these characters, which may be part of it, but win or lose, its fun either way. PVP deaths don't even seem to cause repair bills like PVE deaths. AND, since there is so little effort involved in creating these characters, if we don't like it, we can quit at any time.
And NO ONE should be bashful about their lack of PVP skill. I can't imagine anyone being worse than me, and even if they were, who cares. Nobody is keeping score! Besides, two to one (or five to one or whatever) odds makes up for a LOT of lack of skill. I'm living proof of that!!!! 8o :thumbup: :D
