The pvp we had on IN1 was original .51a with better armor and weapons.

Not to be mean or anything, but I really do not think you know what "original .51a" PvP is. The "original" PvP tends to be very colored by the servers you've played. If you actually ran and tweaked a default .51a server, you probably do.

Now on the dueling time note...

When me and Seer Hate/Ztoke used to duel, a normal duel would be 20-60 mins, that is long enough I think.

A normal duel between two good players tend to take about 10-20 mins.
A normal duel between one good and one average player takes about 5-10 mins.

These are just my perception of how long it takes, but I'd say they are quite accurate.
