They got rid of the season PvP server all together in Korea ( KR apparently don't give a shit about BDO PvP). I expect that they will get around to doing the samething with NA/EU but I think they are very careful with their choices involving us because they know we have a higher interest and investment typically ( Evasion builds/ accuracy builds) than other regions.
I expect with this new boss mechanic and areas being added we will see something added that will complement those only interested in doing PvE.
They recently replaced the season arsha server as well as several other "regular" servers in Korea because all of their seasonal servers were completely overrun, and have already announced many more servers to be added for the next season.
I would not really attribute the change of these servers to "Not caring about PvP" but rather simply "we didnt have enough servers"
If they remove Season Arsha will be the end for seasons for me. Cant stand the greafing on PVE season. Well the good thing is that Im gona save some money from season pass :D
I would play alot more on a PVE server. You all say irrational, but that is the way it is.

There's nothing irrational in there, if BDO devs decided to go pve some players would probably follow the trend.
The idea is that Devs don't want to do that.
Adding some pve servers will eventually end up in basically the erasure of pvp from the game.
If they add 5 pve servers those servers will be swamped. and eventually people will ask for more servers to be swapped for pve.
since humans crave comfort and convienience, more and more players, even pvp minded players will starts moving to grinding on pve servers.
eventually ..all the servers will be pve except for arsha.
This slow transition is exactly what happened to pvp realms in world of warcraft. Now there are no pvp realms. ..and retail is having a huge problem keepigng players invested in the game. If all the pvp is removed or slowly strangled out of BDO, even more than now players will leave due to lack of investment.
As other people have pointed out those are new/returning player servers and while yes open world pk can not happen you can still be attacked if your are in a guild that is war dec'd ( unless they disabled war decs)
The only people who truely benefit from a pve only server are horse trainers, wagon traders and barterers because people will still grind/gather over you and grief you to oblivion and you can't do sh** about it, Then you have no choice but for one of you to eventually leave which you could have done on a normal server with more options available so what's the point.
PvE servers just enable griefing to extreme levels without any penalty
Think again.
Yes please, i want a Pve only server
Sure PvE servers can be a thing but you must take a -100% drop rate to go there. You must pay something for the safety there has to be a tradeoff.

This the one thing I agree with you on. I pretty much spend 95% of my seasonal time on Seasonal PvP channel. Should the Devs remove it from NA, I don't think I will delete characters to make another seasonal character.
