I applaud an initiative that aims to give meaning to PvP and to promote it in the community with a sense of purpose to back it up, instead of all the New player ganking and random naked punshing some of us have been observing.
If Im able I will be present at this event, tough I probably wont compete.
Again, two thumbs up for this initiative and I wish you the best success.
Currently we are allowing all entries so contact Siloras, Raykin, or me in game or on our forums.
Also, we realize that with the current combat system every person has a "punchers chance" (pun intended) to win fights so we are planning to seed tribes based on size so we can set up some upset specials. To incentivize people to travel the distance and watch the gladiator tournament, like siloras mentioned we will be having a swap meet before and after the event. So even if you don't care about PvP feel free to come and trade wares so you can get those hard to find tools/materials you need to give your tribe/clan/band/homestead/split personality a head start. We hope to make it worthwhile for everyone interested to participate and we hope that this will be the first of many fun events in the Xsyon Community.
