Old player here who recently installed the game and have no idea how the community works anymore. I quit around the bori/border kingdoms pvp update back in the day.
I tried to visit Border to Kush during the PvP festival to see if there was any life.
I saw a group of people farming each other to complete objectives. This went on uncontested for a very long time. Later a second group came and starting causing havoc, making the first group hide or logg off. The second group then started farming each other until they logged off and the a new group came to farm each other.
I didn’t see any real battles, more so just one group quickly leaving as soon as any they met any resistance, only to logg back on later. I jumped into the game for several days and just checked in to see the same pattern repeat itself.
I never saw any mini games going.
Is this all there is going on or are there events that I would only know about if I was “in the know”?
Sounds like you’re on Crom (PvE server), but yeah Pvp is now a very niche thing and really only on Fury the Pvp server and even there they use a fight matching app to find each other.
The Pvp ship sailed long ago I’m afraid for those that like that game play. Now it’s really just the hardcore types still hanging in there.
If you are looking for PVP, try to play on Fury. I stopped play on Crom, because no minis, no any normal PVP (duels are dead too).
On Fury you still can find PVP everyday in pvp fest location. Sometimes we have 6vs6 or more. But of course no minis and only Free PvP in location, but this part of AoC still rly nice. Good Luck
I didn’t check population during PvP week. The times I did check there was something like 7 people online in total. Taking the time to lvl to 80 just for some 6vs6 one week per month seems like madness to me considering that there is no other group content on Fury. Add in the time needed to get to a pvp level high enough to do any dmg and it’s even worse.
