In the MY verison the arena was always completely dead and used for absolutely nothing

can you make some kind of in game events or something to put the arena to good use instead of just somewhere to go to waste your heirograms?

    Arena's typically alive just before dailies reset. Go get your pk fix then :o.

    And you do realize that MY-EN did have a weekly arena event? Treasure box digging with pk allowed.

    We need more treasure digging, for one...

    Second, there should be arena rewards for amount of people killed. Like, 10 people killed and you could get a "Destroyer's Belt" with half-decent stats for lower-levelleds, maybe for 100 people killed, you could get a transfigure scroll... Or for 200 people killed, you could knab yourself a golden heirogram of your choice.10,000 people killed, and you could get a "Fearless Badge" - a reward usually given in the ADC Invasions. They - your targets - have to be within 3 levels of your own level.

    Sound good?

    Easily abuseable by having low levels let you slaughter them repeatedly.

    Okay, then let me add the condition that they have to be within 3 levels of your own level.

    Yeah, but at least it'd take forever if you wanted to abuse it. And, well, you could always go there and "interfere" with their business :D

    Unless the GMs here a crippled like they are in the MY-EN servers, where they cannot create items of any kind.

    Well, you've seen the forum admins and stuff... I don't think the GMs will be too different - which is quite good!

    actually they did do something in it. there would be a time when mobs would appear out of no where and u fight them for badges... it was pretty useful since i was always broke for rosalind.

    I think it is better if we just place rewards on players and when they get killed, the player who killed the opponent gets it.

    Can you use a brighter colour? Hard to read unless I highlight your text.

    Anyways... Bounty-hunting, you mean? Sounds neat, but I can't imagine how it would work.

    hmm, like...you go to arena then someone kills you and there's a NPC that has a list of ''bandits'', those are the players who have killed you and you set a reward and if someone else hunt them then they get the reward o.o
    It's legit and fun.
    Let's say you want to camp me so I set a 1m reward obviously, everyone will want to kill you xD.

    So maybe just some kind of rankings, stats, and what goes with it - titles?

    PWI here can't change the game all that much. We should expect what we've seen before, except with better ping, MUCH better service, and better overall localization.

    Anything else should just be a great bonus that we can be happy about.

    Arena events would be nice. Arena rewards wouldn't. For once, the game, while decently balanced still has rock-paper-scissor mechanics. Unless any class/gear combination has solid odds of fighting off any other class/gear combination, it hinges on luck. Also, given the fact that hierograms work in the arena, it would only favor people who can afford 23132 hierograms on a daily basis, basically buying PvP rewards with real money; might as well place them in the cash shop to begin with. What would work instead, would be a 2-6 man team arena using duel mechanics (no hierograms, prefferably no potions), with PvP rewards as an alternative to running dungeons for molds.
