GMs Are Arenas Comming Back?

Tawnos - Dreamweaver

This question is for a GM: as a low level mage you dont get any many chances for fun PVP. Are any REAL chances that the arenas are comming back? Is the only major complaint I have! sometime you get bored of farming and if you have to wait until end game for faction wars many will maybe just drop the game! FREE or Cheap PVP arenas divided by character levels range with multiple maps and formats will give this game a bigger sucess and will motivate paying customers! If you dont belive it post a poll!

PvP without GS or (binding) charms? Sure, why not. Might as well give everyone a maxed (flying) mount.

If it does come back, it's most likely that it'll be dominated by higher level players most of the time, so being a one shot kill wouldn't help your situation. It'll be the same thing as going pk'ing as a level 30.

Seeing as how the Arena originates from the original Perfect World, the developers would have to program extra things, which costs money and time. I doubt that they'd invest in something like placing level range areas for the Arena.

agreed.

the arena doesnt make PWI money, besides charm burn. And not to mention, Arena would end up just like DT: dominated by over-inflated egotistical high levels who play on a PvE server and complain there is no PK action QQ.

you can duel players if you want it's not the same as pvp, but it still is player against player

u wont die over it if you lose... so it's a good way to "practice" for real pvp later on. This way you learn some more about your own and other classes too b:victory

I don't go in pk mode myself (yet) since it's indeed dominated by high level players.
But I kill time when I don't feel like questing with dueling different classes ^^
that way you learn some strategies and u know what you're up against ^^

Those players who were here in the beginning (or played another version before PWI's) knows the arenas were opened back then.

I should know : I went there to do my culti 39 death (no xp loss due to death, no angels used, no red name for the one who killed me, no risks of item drop).

The real question is : why were they closed and replaced by the Cube Arena that no one bother to use?

i have played PW brasilian version for over an year and the arenas there besides working , is just a place for the top faction killing newbies with their nixs...no fun or training in there...

but i realy liked the idea of restriction of lvl for arenas.

when server were new ,and all players was lvl 40-50 it used to be realy fun in there b:bye

I could not even imagine what PWI twinks would be like. If the level range was implemented you would have to go against high lvl character alts at lower levels and for the average player that was just be miserable. There would have to be a reason to do it like PVP gear.... but that will never happen.

I don't see a problem here. The best way to practice pvping is to be beaten by more experienced players.

There could be this option. Before enter to arena you could choose which lv of players you want to fight against.
Example
1-10
11-20
21-30
31-40
41-50
51-60
etc.

twinks would be out of control , in the game that shall not be mentioned if your a twink basically you sit at the top lvl of the bracket, like in ur example. a twink would be someone at 19,29,39,49,59 and that would be super geared for that level. high lvl alts would be much worse in pwi then the unmentionable game.wanna see a lvl 29 with +5 gear and a scroll of tome. It would just be a pain. I would like something to be done with the arena tho.
