<p>Ah perfect - I am still very interested in discussing their impact on PVP; has there been anymore thought on that matter? I think we were discussing it in Vegas and it seemed they would play a roll if someone had a Merc up, but we didnt want it to become manditory.</p><p>Guess the outstanding questions I have would be:1) If they do play a role, would you gain more fame for killing a single player + his/her merc?</p><p>2) If the merc does the majority of the dmg in pvp, is there a fame reduction?</p><p>3) If they are omitted do we get to ask for a refund from the merc (ha ha)</p><p>4) Could we put in a setting that we could pre-authorize an 'instant' merc to join the fight on the side of someone that does not have one up at the time of a pvp engagement, i.e if you have an assassin with a merc healer jump you, you can have a trigger that allows a player (prior to the engagement) to instantly pop a merc for the player without one, at a hire cost fee</p><p>--------------</p><p>I will be testing the sh*T out of the merc's whenever they hit a test environment, if they are part of PVP as it will change the dynamics a bit.</p><p>I have no problem getting some fellow guildies to help on the testing if you want some real life pvp players trying it out...</p>

<p>Mercs will not be appearing on Test, as they are an expansion feature.  We will have to test them on the Beta server if and when it opens in September or October.</p>

<p>How about test = beta server, and get rid of betas.</p>
