The PvP in Angevil is one of the things that I want to work on most since it's what I like. The PvP system is based on many games but what it reminds the most is Ultima Online because when you die, you will lose EVERYTHING that you possess.
Yes, you didn't read wrong. Anything in your inventory or what you had equipped will be on your dead body and those who're alive can get them. Before you freak out and close the page, please visit the Items section. Why would I want the game to be like this? Because for ages I've seen people playing online games and not having fun at all. During the first moments sure but after a couple hours or weeks it just become boring and boring...
Also, I noticed that games like DotA and Ultima Online were the ones that gave the most memorable moments for everyone played with. Those moments when you are talking with your friends and telling them stories about how you won a battle. Even those moments when you're playing and you actually get mad about dying or scream "YES!" when your enemy falls.
What these games have that others don't? Prizes! Yes, when you beat your enemy you're rewarded with gold or items that will make you stronger and your enemy weaker or just to have the pleasure to make him suffer a little bit more than being forced to press the "revive" button.
I will always try to balance classes so that each of them can make the difference in battles and PvPs will last enough for you to be satisfied. =]
Anyways, every map except cities and special dungeons have PvP enabled. If you're human and find a angel or demon somewhere, you can attack him anytime as he might attack you too. There's a PK system for those who want to fight their own race (excluding their own Party Members). Guildies may be attacked too. After you turn PK on you have to wait 1 minute to turn it off and vice-versa. Also, after you log in the game, you will have to wait 1 minute to activate or deactivate it.
Killing players will affect your karma in the same way as fighting against monsters does. Look at Races for more information on Karma system.
In time I will create special arenas with objectives like destroying enemies base, CTF, deathmatch and others if the players give me some ideas.
Well this is basically the PvP system in Angevil and remember that this game is PvP oriented. If you don't like fighting other players, this game is not for you.
