Does this game need an Arena where players can PvP without consequence?

Perhaps levying an entry fee so that 'regular' pvp is not abandoned? Or making it cost less if you are in a player owned corp.

I think this game does need an option for casual pvp, not just frig battles.

This actually made me laugh when i read the OP's post.

I suggest you play wow. This is eve, pvp is central to the game.

I'm not totally against the idea of having 1 system that has been taken over by some futuristic mega corp and is now a permanant tournament venue pitting simular ships together in sporting action for others amusement with betting etc being held on such events. But there would have to be consequences such as insurance wont pay out if your ship is used in this way, like my car insurance would'nt pay out if i used it for racing.

Also, what is undock?

Well CCP actually had one planned at some point. They tried to sneak it in, of course knowing it would enrage some of their clients. Bear

Strangely enough it was their own server software which simply refused to accept the unholy code.

Mind you, the reply on its discovery by some players sniffling around from one of the devs was back then something like, 'if we ever can get it to work, it *will* be implemented'.

How warped are the minds of hi/lo sec players when it comes to PvP.. There's no consequences in null.. no concord avengers waiting for you to trip the wire on that can flipper.. or gate guns to pew pew after you've spewed on your target.. What you're asking for is already in the game.. An arena seriously?.. I've only been playing a short time but damn.. I see I'm light years ahead of some older folks who never broke out the cookie cutter..

An arena..? Good grief Charlie B.

just trying to breath some life into this game. there ARE some mmo players who play simply for the pvp aspect, but this games requires a whole lot of time to get anything done. there are games out there that have huge pve worlds but some players like me never go into it.

now if pvp required you taking more risks, more people would take risks. how the game is setup now is that you have more incentive to play safe in what is supposed to be a game.

maybe i am just spolied with other games that allow you full content access upon logging in, but i view pvp as content as well. its not really there unless YOU create it, and that is a lot of work for casual gamers.

i think MANY people get bored of this game because its viewed as a job, and in many regards it is. we are essentially playing characters that constantly work, they just fly ships around space trying to gobble up minerals and do fruitless missions.

Consequences are the whole point of EVE. If you remove consequences for your own actions, you don't have EVE anymore. However, I would probably enjoy a properly set up arena where teams of ships could compete. Just don't take away the consequences. If you lose your ship, it is still lost. Some type of arena could provide variety in the game. Just don't make it something mandatory.

Assuming the original post was badly worded, this has been suggested before. Given that I understand correctly that the OP was thinking more of a sports kind of thing.

If not, here are the instructions to get to -FA-de for uninhibited PvP (with consequences)
Head to Adacyne, set destination F7C, from there take the route towards YI- and when reaching our former staging system, head towards C4C instead. It's abit far I know, but if you set your med clone to empire the route back is shorter Twisted

Personally, I'd like to see some kind of station where ships can enter into 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, etc. etc. matches in a closed environment that wagers can be placed on, as well as the battles being broadcast to players TV's in CQ should they want to watch some matches.

I think that would be nice, plus it would be an easy place to have some fun 1v1 fights. Like boxing, only with spaceships.
