One of the things I have found interesting about other MMORPG's is the ability to be able to take your guild to a battle arena and having fun wiping the floor with each other.

As it is, members of the same nation can not do this, unless some of them have their faction go bad.

It might be a good idea to setup an arena sector were kills don't count towards badges, kill counts, etc, and were members of the same faction can have fun

This would be something beyond the duel command. Currently that only works for 1 on 1 combat (please correct me if I am wrong), but does nothing for group vs group or free for all combat.

I don't think we need a special Sector for this, but I do agree more options for /duel would be nice, especially like you said for group vs group & free for alls.

alrerady has a greyspace for that.

why don't people go there and fight instead of asking thing that they wont never do?

Quoted from the original post: "As it is, members of the same nation can not do this, unless some of them have their faction go bad."

That is why.

godsize_dwo is a player. He is asking for it. Obviously, once it is in, he will do it.

if you like PvPing go in greyspace and fight other nation players.

why need a battle ground zone to fight your own nation members?

if you start pvping in greyspace maybe later this option could be a good one BUT actually it's freaking hard to find a fight in game.

Quoted from the original post: "It might be a good idea to setup an arena sector were kills don't count towards badges, kill counts, etc, and were members of the same faction can have fun"

... Quoted: "members of the same faction can have fun"

Sure, they can have fun destroying members of other nations, but...

You said: "actually it's freaking hard to find a fight in game"

So then there would be more options on who to have a group, not "1 on 1", "combat". It gives more practice.

You said: "why need a battle ground zone to fight your own nation members?"

Well, godsize_dwo already explained why he would want to fight his own nation members. But why a battle ground?

Quoted from the original post: "It might be a good idea to setup an arena sector were kills don't count towards badges, kill counts, etc, and were members of the same faction can have fun"

We wouldn't want that grey space having no standing hits. We just need a spot. But of course...

Quoted from Beolach: "I don't think we need a special Sector for this, but I do agree more options for /duel would be nice, especially like you said for group vs group & free for alls."

That is also valid.

it's freaking hard to find a fights actually because players do not fights.

So that make no sence to add things that people won't probably do.

it's valid only if there are already a lot of pvpers that are looking for more action and different style to challenge/fight.

better things to add than this thing actually.
add something to lure more players to fight in greyspace first.

Now that would be nice, yes.

I think an Implementation would be fairly simple.

In a group, the group leader can challenge another person for a duel. If the person is a group-leader, it is a group challenge, and the two -groups- are both involved in a duel.

This means that in order to get into group pvp, you simply create two groups, and a leader challenges the other leader, after which the fire is go.

If you want to do one vs many, the single player creates a solo group.

If you want to do one vs one, The only thing to look out for is when you are a group leader. And in such a case, you should be responsible for your actions anyhow :)

Group duels are finished once every person in one group has been killed once, otherwise the rules are the same as for any other duel. This will mean that you are sensitive to attacks from your groupmates, even if you are on the same team, so watch out with those rockets.
(some special check might have to be implemented, similar to the "Spider damaged Spider and therefore the duel is forefit" bugs)

Spider: don't we have this already? I remember doing group duels with niki and a couple UITs. There were still bugs (like not all opponents turned red when they were supposed to), but that was several updates ago. Why don't you guys try that again. Just have the group leaders challenge each other.

Crip : hmm, Might be worth looking over, yes. If so, its just a case of poor documentation and visibility

Maybe have an arena station so players can't run away. A big enclosed area like the Thunderdome from Mad Max.

Reason I suggested this is because the last time I went into Gray Space, you still could not fire upon people of your own nation if you both were in good standing of your faction. This was only a couple weeks ago that we tried this with a Guild Event. We had a couple groups trying to take out a 'helpless trader' in a Guild Event. That helpless trader didn't take any damage from members of his own nation.

We also tried your suggestion Crippled, having the group leader /duel each other. I'll try these options again though, because it has been a couple weeks since we last tried it.

Also from several years of experience in MMORPG's, nothing is more fun than a guild getting together and beating each other up. In an odd way it makes them closer.

EDIT: I just went to Grey Space with a UIT friend of mine, both of us in good standing, and neither of us could damage each other without the /duel command, which was the point of my original post.
