PVP

Overview
Players may fight each other for credits, guild influence, and glory. Players may either flag themselves for PVP to participate in open PVP activities or send duel challenges. Both use the !duel command.

When a player is flagged for PVP, any other flagged player may engage you in PVP without you first accepting. If a player would prefer to be more docile. They can use the accept/decline challenge system.

Players flagged for open PVP earn extra XP in the channel.

Duels
A 1 v 1 challenge between two players in chat. The combat mechanics are similar to PVE, however players will only be given flavor text, instead of numbers, to analyze the fight. This discourages number crunching while encouraging players to duel and observe how they match up among others.

You may initiate a duel once every 15 minutes. If a player is not in open PVP or not within your level range (within 10 levels of your level), a Duel Challenge is initiated. The challenged player has two minutes to accept. You may challenge multiple players. Once a player accepts or an open PVP battle initiates, this will set off the cooldown.

Note: Players with 1 or more prestige levels and are flagged for PVP are capable of being dueled by anyone with prestige 1 or higher.

PVP Seasons
For 2-3 months, each player's PVP stats are recorded. At the end of the season, the top three players (based on number of wins) are rewarded with a large sum of credits and PVP stats reset for the next season. You can check the rankings with !pvp rankings

Bounties
Players accrue bounties with PVP win streaks (1+). Winning against a bountied player rewards you the credits and removes the bounty.
