  I myself don't mind a few criminals and pk'ers, but i couldn't find much info on "war times", how they work, the Criminal Trial system, etc.

  For example, since the game is F2P, can't a-holes just create a new character and kill new players over and over until they amass the criminal points, and just repeat it once again?

  Also, how do war times actually work and how long do they last? 

  Won't pirates simply destroy every single ship from non-pvp'ers? Atleast those close to the southern contient? Are the leveling areas safe for people?

  It's this kinds of questions that make me abit worried about Archeage's ability to keep an variety fo players around, specially now that Trion comfirmed no pve servers. I love that, but you need to keep people safe after all. 

   

  You can go from level 1 to 50 (max) without ever coming into contact with pvp. It all depends on how you play.

  Check the official (Trion) forums, much of what you want to know has been explained already.

   

  You can please some MMO-players all of the time and you can please all MMO-players some of the time but you can't please all MMO-players all of the time.

  I coulddn't find the info on the official forums because it's spread out.

  I get that after level 30, there' war and peace times, but:

  - how do they work exactly?

  - can people from your own faction attack you in the 1-30 zones anyway?

  - can players from the same faction pk you even in peace times?

  - how much of the continent are those 30+ areas dedicated to?

  The game is broadly known to have a excessive amount of safezones (without counting the peace times), what can damage the risk VS reward system of the trade missions and another things.

  So, you shouldn't worry so much if you are carebear.
