Maybe thats way Kas never showed up though, he couldn't find it. Typical.

Kas may have a better idea, like for instance, for whatever reason you want to meet a mage or the Nine, perhaps such an unlikely event could potentially happen at the Black tower in Minas Morgul, throneroom.

Unless ofcourse...you don't by any chance happen to have some priced object of ours? In that case, Sparkle square, wherever it is sounds like a place one could adress your...problem.

The event is going well. Although we could use non-myth mage idling in Sparkle square. Interested?

Do that exist?

I meant a non-myth mage

I think there is at least one!

Why just 5? Bring them all I'd say.

There are more than five?

Currently in PvP you had a dynamic like this:

Winner - No real reward except eq
Loser - Penalized

I disagree totally here.

In Genesis, the reward for the winner was the loss of the loser. That's what I always liked about it, and it was what made Genesis PvP special and more interesting. Just like in real life(tm) - you don't get "XP" or "rankings" for defeating an enemy, rather the whole point of the battle is weakening/punishing that enemy.

War, punishment, revenge, spite... if you kill someone in Genesis and don't feel rewarded by their loss, then I'd say you are definitely killing them for the wrong reasons and shouldn't even be engaging in PvP.

As for the dwindling of PvP fighting, I think it probably has more to do with a smaller population, less roleplaying activity and a consequent shifting of Genesis culture away from guild conflict.

I agree that in big populated world mentioned reasons would be proper basis for PvP. But not nowadays.
The world changes, people change and the game must change to be up-to-date.

I think I agree with this. However, since people vote with their feet, how would we ever get back to an active pvp culture in the best sense? Maybe, we just can't?

But that still leaves the issue of the big stat difference ...
