Note 60 Arwen (07/22/13 14:20) PVP Flag Update Hello Arda, After reviewing the state of PVP flags and the options available, the administration has decided to remove the "PVP Off" flag in order to encourage interaction between players. In other words, everyone who is currently "PVP Off" will be switched to "PVP Merciful" and have no threat of death, and there will be no change to those who are already currently "PVP on". We understand that such a change will have repercussions on the playstyles of a variety of players, however, we believe that this change is a good middle-ground for all concerned. The implementation of this change will occur 1 month from now and all players will be further warned a reboot prior to the implementation of this change. Further, we will carefully monitor statistics and activity over the 2 month period after the change, and will review the impact of the change after the test period with the full capability of reversing the change to the current status quo if need be. Further, we are looking into incentivising the "PVP On" flag via various means without taking anything away from the people who are not "PVP On". Feel free to submit any ideas you have in this area to us via mail or via IDEA reports. For those who like questing and the like, we have been and will continue to work on dynamic, exciting, and thematic content that will challenge and puzzle the most intrepid of adventurers. I am glad that many of you continue to love and enjoy playing here and we look forward to creating content that you can enjoy. Love, Arwen
