To be honest we (lazytown) were so good at pve and pvp that nobody could rival us. We really needed a group like TC or some other rogue group but nobody was really good consistent competition. The thing about older maps like Bastion was that there were multiple pvp forces (eg: LO, TC, Umbra) and so rivalry/fights were consistent. Not to be bias but even towns such as my own glorious port royal was better than any competition that came from this map to rival top pvp forces!!

Little known fact; no-cheat was disabled for the first month and a half of the map, and some people took advantage of that. It made it a lot harder for bad/new players to have fun since they were going up against experienced AND cheating players. Just my 2 cents.

There is almost no incentive to participate in it.
agreed bro because i swear I said this in another thread a while back but i'll sum this up in a few points;

1. Economy is broken, currency is worthless = gear is worthless
2. No one really cares about pvp top since rewards generally include currency or something idk but go back to point 1, currency = worthless
3. Map lives are shorter and shorter so again people willingness to grind for gear when it is going to disappear within a few months is GG
4. Deathchests op so it is hard to get someones gear even if u did kill them

I don't know about u bros but back in bastion i was stacking DANK LOOT from pvp

Is there currently some form of anti-cheat? Before I quit again this past map I tried to implement an anti-cheat, but it was having some trouble working alongside Heroes. I had no time to configure it, let alone play... wondering if someone did.

Go look at Albion where your gear and shit actually matters. Also, if there is still that ore regen map wide get rid of it. When I suggested regenerating ores I meant in a small zone somewhere with PVP on to be a contested hotspot to grind materials.

The economy in maps like Bastion were great and it was mostly derived by the needs of the few rich and powerful kingdoms because the coin and material cost was really steep. I don't even know how we did it back then I just kinda told people to do stuff and it happened like magic.

The costs for towns today are basically one time fees of materials only reproducible by trade or war with towns in other regions and then it's just a coin cost. As time moved on people lost interest in big regions and would rather have a small, cheap, and secure home. In bastion small did not mean secure and one breach could ruin you. They were great times
