What would be the benefits of getting involved in PVP?
It’s fun, of course, but we have also tried to give PvP a purpose in the world. One obvious benefit is being able to join a guild and fight over the control of battlekeeps in the Border Kingdom, which will give you added bonuses in the game. You are not required to get involved in this sociopolitical aspect of the game to have fun though. We also have the Blood Money system which is basically an alternative currency that you get when you fight and kill other players in battle. Blood Money can be used to purchase equipment and benefits that are not available for purchase with regular currency. Fighting other players does carry other benefits as well, as you have a separate advancement system for PvP in Age of Conan.
