The Arena - New and improved!

[Markus]

Seeing as how the only real purpose to pk/pvp is fun/bragging rights I thought it could be fleshed out a little bit. And in a simple enough way! Since we can already track the number of pk/pvp battles players have consider this...

The arena could have an npc that could reward you based on certain accomplishments such as

The number of PKs you have.
The number of duels you've won.
The number of tournaments you've won.
The number of tournaments you've come in 2nd or 3rd.

Possible rewards could be

Unique weapons
Unique armor
Unique titles
Gold
????
PROFIT!!!


The points going towards these rewards would of course have to be limited in such a way that a lvl 500 player couldn't get points from killing a lvl 5 for example and so on.


In addition to this, there could be leader boards on the arena walls showing

The current arena champion and perhaps 9 or so players behind this player.
The current pk champion and perhaps 9 or so players behind this player.
The current pvp champion and perhaps 9 or so players behind this player.

I love this. I think it is a fantastic idea! I agree we need some way of making sure these points can't be earned by paying level 1 fodder to join tourneys just to increase the count for higher levels. But I definitely think this is a great concept!

That does sound like a nice idea and would be something a little new and different and what Tina says is true too.

I like the ideas, but its hard to prevent people from paying for pk's/pvp. Also, I could see it being a problem for the higher level players. There are very few high level players so a person at that level would have nobody his own level to pk, he could only kill people lower level.

[Tina]

I realize that at this moment there are not a lot of higher level players. However, that should not always be the case. I think looking at many suggestions from the point of view that there are not many players of that level at this moment in time leaves us short sighted. Also, I think that there is a way to prevent the fodder situation. I'm going to look into it a little farther, but I think it won't be as hard as it may seem!

[Celestia]

I might actually get into PVP tournaments in that case.
