Hi guys, so I kinda just wanted to make a suggestion, people were talking about Rp and PvP being segregated and some were brainstorming ways to bring the two communities together; here's my personal idea hope you like it =]
So Massive's done 'PvP in Reglia' events before, from what I've seen, they've just been PvP toggled areas in the Regalian world far from any actual Rpers (the last I attended was a boat literally in the middle of the ocean). My idea is that we make the PvP part of a roleplay event, the first idea I had that came to mind was a gladiator fight (pretty much your standard PvP fight/tournament shindig) where Rpers 'bet' on their 'champion' or whathaveit (maybe if real regals were used the PvPers could potentially make money, creating another endorsement). This would result in Rpers being directly linked into PvP at least lore-wise (potentially a PvPer fight 'for' a noble family, gaining the family reputation). This could be taken further with people creating lore progression posts (I believe that's what they're called?) recounting the fight/tournament. Also I feel like PvPers would be motivated to attend these events as they would get reputation in front of, essentially, the whole server (I guess a nice shiny lore item would be cute too, lol). Finally, I think that having all the PvPers in one place would be very good for the esteem of the PvP community, having all the players in mass would feel very healthy for the department.
Also, I like the gladiator idea as it has many variations, e.g. tournament or maybe side vs side maybe even a PvE style of event where the last man/team standing wins. My point is that it is very flexible.
Anywho, that's pretty much it, please comment any extra ideas you have or any flaws you see, I'd love to hear them and hopefully think up a way around them!
