    Status: Confirmed Pending Attendance; but should be likely to happen.

    Date: May 7th and possibly 8th
    Time: 2PM EDT ( 6PM UTC (GMT))

    Location: Arena (off of Lake Rathetear)

    Event: Best of the Best /Battle Royale

    Details: Each participant will use up-to 3 of their boxes in a group PVP vs another group of up-to 3 boxes. (can only be 3-boxes, not 3 people)

    It will be a Bracket Style fight system TBD once we get sign-ups.

    Clickies are not allowed; Epic clickies, Procs, and buffs from grouped characters only.

    Rewards: depending on attendance we will have rewards for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Place.
    Rewards will be titles.

    Please Pre-register below with Character's Name, level, and class for each character that will be participating.

    Clickies will be allowed. the only buffs allowed will be that of the characters in the party.
    To be fair buffs will be removed prior to the fight; there will be a short period to allow buffs immediately before the fight begins. again you may only buff with the characters in your party; no outside assistance will be permitted.

    January 23rd, 2002 Patch Notes

    SoulFire is paladin clickable only on our server. Or atleast it should be. See the Ghoulbane patch note from this same patch? We already have that correct and also had it correct on Al'Kabor as well.

    As much as I despise EQ PvP because of how imbalanced it is... I'll be very interested to see the winner of this because almost everyone's 3-box combination was tailored to a PvE environment.

    making edits and updating rules as people have questions and ask for clarification. Please let me know if you'd like to suggest a rule change or have something to add.

    My goal is to get a solid rule-set down so we can do this a bit more often. the goal is to have fun and make sure it's as balanced as possible.

    Haha, I am terrible at PVP, I can't even imagine trying to PVP with a 3 box setup. I would love to watch though. :)

    how big is the arena?
    tbh i think you'd be better off with spaide, load, bumming.
    i suspect that a great strategy is to auto follow a bard around at light speed while a couple of epic pets go to town.
    but maybe a sow'ed group can kite the pets, send their own pets, land some dispels..?
    i'm not really sure what's good in pvp. but i am pretty sure that my 3-box team is horribly set up to do well at it.

    The people have spoken; with 10 to 1: clickies are not allowed. only epics; procs; and buffs from grouped characters. rules updated.

    I vote it starts with a port in to the arena. Buffless. All spell gems blank.

    No clickies other than epic.

    Each team of 3 is ported to their own area outside of pvp area. They have 3 min to prep and get in and start fighting.

    Now that sounds fun.

    We should also make it that you can only box characters on your own account(s) so Bum can't profit off this. He is a capitalistic scourge which must be stopped at all costs.

    Intrigued by this, not sure if I can attend... Will have to check.

    But what do you think about 1-on-1 or 2-on-2 brackets as well? Kind of goes against the three box thing but for some folks it may help drive attendance if they know they can play fewer toons.
