Yes but that is what makes it a little bit more exciting because you're not in control of the outcome! I mean yes, writing everything out is just as good, but PvP takes away a certain...godmode -for lack of a better term- that people have in their heads about their character.

I mean, rather than just using the game for it's lore, avatars and locations, why not use this tool the game has provided? Sure, I can see how people might say something like, "yeah, my character has this tool though and it trumps that and even though I lost in the PvP, my character wouldn't really loose."

When I played Lineage 2 back in the day, the clan I was in was the second largest on the server. When we fought for control over a castle or we had clan vs clan PvP battles, if we lost it would only make us strive to do better and win the next time.

I dunno, I just think it would be an interesting avenue to at least explore and test. Once we know more about the PvP system.

Characters: Caden Vadoma (discontinued)
