No brainer in my opinion. Put more emphasis on PVP and improve the system as whole. (Mostly talking about Open pvp, probably applicable to retro aswell?)

as well?)

Most of us probably remember the adrenaline rush when we encountered our first pvp situation back in the days. "I don't wanna die. I worked so hard for this. Please only drop the bp." Most likely tears have fallen and one was pissed for at least a day after dropping that newly acquired fire sword.

Nowadays pvp has mostly come to the point where you die and just buy twist and go back to battle. If there even is a battle. Mostly its one team/player using their "main character" while the other side is sitting on low level chars marking single players with the infamous "green mode". This usually ends with the aggressive team (the skulled players) either having to fight on pointless conditions as fragging these low levels really doesn't do anything or them having to run to a defense. But that is only the tip of the iceberg.

Lets talk about war mode. An abomination in itself. The attempt to create a fair environment for people to have pvp action. But lets face it. War is not nice. Once one side is losing they demand different conditions or threaten to just end the war. Also other side factors like people with revenge skull which are not part of the war can heavily influence the action as it really cripples on team to have that disadvantage on their side.
Why do both teams have to agree to a "war"? Either have an automated system or simply let one guild declare war onto the other side. I don't think Poland would have agreed to the second world war but it still happened. Also war doesn't simply end once the losing team decides to bail out. Raising the white flag is an offer and not the end of all evil.

Cipsofts recent attempt to balance vocations in pvp also didn't really help a lot but thats that's a topic we won't discuss here.

I'm not saying we need the old system back. But improvements would most certainly help attract new players while also keeping the current ones interested.
