The server is pretty good, i like a lot the uo t2a but there's something i love about it, it's pvp style without that pre-cast shit.
I've been to some pure pvp servers, mostly of them are mage pvp based, which in my opnion is the funniest pvp.
What i'm trying to say and suggest is, the pvp arenas in the server are fine, they have a reason to be so, they are small, avoind people to run around, but they seem to be melee arenas!
So, like 5 or 6 years ago, when most servers were sphere, i dont even know if runuo existed, there was a pvp brazillian server with some nice arenas for mage pvp! They are very simple to be built and look badass
Here's a screen of an arena i built in like... 10 minutes max:


The idea is to play with the line of sight and cast time of spells, to hit and avoid being hit.Of course it would have to be added los blockers to those piers.
Maybe it's too big for a 1v1 arena, it can always be scalled to fit a right ammount of players, maybe would be a 2v2 arena...
I mean no offense to those who like the actual arenas, that's why it's an alternate suggestion, meaning the actuall arenas should stay where they are!
I hope you like it ;D

Dimension? good times, but was so buged and people abused so much bugs.

Edit: But the arenas are the way it is, because you cant beat a good pvper with just magic, not on a 1vs1.

Not Dimension, the shard name was Alliance.
You can make the corridors more narrow, so someone can "ambush" you with a weapon.
You could always set it to a 2v2 arena.. i guess it would be funny.
If yet you think it's not good, no problem, i could say i tried
Thx for the attention anyway =]

[imported_LudaKrishna]

yeah i don't think it's a good idea.

[imported_Raziel]

yeah i don't think it's a good idea.

And thats because..?

[imported_LudaKrishna]

there shouldn't be los blockers in duel arenas...never were any in xuo

Thats why i said the idea of this arena was to play with los and casting time of spells, imagine a 2v2, in an arena where you have no los blocker, its just both cast fs and wait for your death, with los blocker you can avoid that, you will have to be faster and have a new strategy!
I respect if you don't want the server to change, but i think it would be worth a try and anyway it wouldn't replace the current arenas.
Anyway i thank for your attention =]

I don't see a problem in ADDING an area like this. Don't forget Raziel wants to make another duel arena like this, not replace the existing one. It will give a small variety from time to time. If you don't want to use it, nobody is forcing you to.


Luda, when a staff hosts a team FFA or a 2v2 reg there's always that bit of wall in the middle which is an los blocker. In CTF's you have corners you can run around and pieces of walls in the flag area you can hide behind. In DM's you have buildings and other obstacles to run around or hide behind. Back on XUO when we had color wars there were obstacles and walls that acted as LOS blockers.


All these events I mentioned were on XUO or are now on INX courtesy of XUO and they all have LOS blockers in some form or another.


It's also a lot like the world of UO where you can run around buildings in towns and go around cave walls!

Who cares what there was or wasnt on xuo... seriously.

Its not like hes asking for the pvp to be changed its a different kind of Arena. Thats it..

But anyways as Ryu said earlier it wouldnt work for 1v1 definitly since you need more then just spells here to kill someone half decent..
But I can def picture this as a 2v2 arena.. it would be pretty. cool LOS to avoid some dumps like actual ganking just slightly different

Edit: This could be added to the duel arenas as the first 2v2 arena. It would work like dclick the stone. gump comes up asking to choose your partner. then you both go in and wait for an opponent. (if u hold the gump and wait for a match to begin it will tell u the match has already started and not let u bug ur way in) I think there should be 2 of these there.. like one for 20k and one for 50k. thats 10k or 25k each for the winners.

Perhaps im just hungry for some 2v2 stones

[imported_LudaKrishna]

i don't see why we need an arena to gank...anyways we should have a 2vs2 arena first in the duel arena b4 adding this los blocker arena.

and 80 there arent any los blockers for 1vs1 or 2vs2 events here. I don't know how an FFA stone could work....

[Eighty Swords]

Then why have any duel arenas at all? lol I know that's not the topic of this thread but I just threw that in since I found it ironic that the argument you're using against Raziel's idea can equally be used against the existing arenas.

I never said there were LOS blockers for 1v1 events, but from the 2v2 events I've seen the GM's only remove the pieces of wall I drew a box around. Yes yes, it's an old screen shot (from xuo in fact) but it's the only one i found of a tour area. You see the 1 tile in the middle that's actually water instead of grass? The one where players get put in and are told to spin or are boxed after really long duels? GM's don't remove that in the 2v2 events I've seen so there is in fact an LOS blocker for a small portion of the 2v2 arena...

[imported_LudaKrishna]

that's for 2vs2 reps...for 2 vs 2 regs they don't remove any walls. also that little edge is so small it's nothing compared to what the poster's ss looks like.

Then why have any duel arenas at all?

Um to duel 1vs1 for money on a fair playing field...ganks end up with ppl jumping in/out/res's, why would u need a stone for that when u can go to occlo? What's the point of having ganks at occlo or bridge then? If you say for money then your dueling someone or its an ffa...as stated in my earlier post if this is for a 2vs2 arena they should make a 2vs2 arena first before adding this tons of los blocker arena (one little edge in 2vs2 reps like don't even compare to what this guy is asking for)
