And now for something completely different...

Had an idea for something new and very different for our CoH team. Stay with me here:

Lowbie arena night.

Yep. Low-level PVP action in the arena, either 1-v-1, free for all, or teams of 2-on-2.
Thought process is that it takes next to no time (a couple hours at most) to level a new character up to Security Level 4 or so. We could give people 2 weeks or so to get the character together (I know Rob's time limited in particular). Rules in place for the match(s) would be no inspirations and no temp powers. Troy could probably "ed-u-macate" us on the how-to's of the Arena (I've never done it). Trick of this would be for each of us not to know what the other people's characters are. I could fill the base Enhancement Table with whatever IOs/TO enhancements people want so there's no money concern. People would send me a list or I could just plop some high level enhancements there that you could grab and sell for the needed funding (thought it might be easier for me to do the buying, save everybody the in-game time).


Night of the event, we all log our "secret" PVP characters and head to the arena to see who's top dog.

Sound interesting? We could also do PVP Villain characters too (even more of a departure)...

I like the idea, even more so for the villains. I think the rules need a tad more honing or additions to work for everybody, but it sounds like fun.

Intent was to figure out a non-time intensive way to get people introduced to PvP. Any ideas are welcome.

Arena controls it a bit so we aren't constantly being ganked by Stalkers in a PvP zone.

I like the idea, like I said. I just don't want it to fade into obscurity while many of us are on such time schedules. I truly want to do this, but to do it later.
