I was actually thinking of writing something up to hopefully bring some life into PvP.
Now, bear in mind that I have NO progamming knowledge so if someone can modify my idea to something that can actually be used I'd appreciate it.
I was thinking of having a server (for lack of better term) with a lobby of sorts.
It would work like this;
Remember that temp log we were able to do before? Well, bring it back but instead allow it to take you into the PvP lobby with different rooms you can join/watch. Here, the matches follow the same schedule to start/finish but instead of there being ONLY 60 caps at XX:XX time and ONLY uncaps at XX:XX time have different sort of rooms with matches going on of different levels.
Entry will follow the same rules, if the match is uneven someone can go in and join the fray. If not, tough luck! Find another room.
But that's not all. Have different rooms with different setups. For example:
Room A: 60CAP ballista going on currently 10v9 with a limit of 20 people. Someone can join in and make it 10v10
Room B:60CAP Ballista going on currently 5v5 with a limit of 10 people.
Have tons of different options for everyone to enjoy. This way there's always a match going on you can enter. You're free to leave as you please and can join any match if it's currently uneven. But remember, no one will like you if you're "that guy" that always leaves matches unless your team is OMGWTFPWNJ00.
Now, admitingly this isn't very well organized and hopefully it makes sense. Basically, think of it as the lobby of a FPS type game where you can pick a game to enter. But, instead of us being able to start our rooms SE will have them pre-set so we don't have 10 rooms all sitting with 3 people waiting for a match to start and it still follows the schedule SE has in place.
Don't allow trading here either to not allow cross server trades. Take it even a step further and all consumables spent are returned to you once you leave the lobby.
Also, if there are 2 people with the same simply tack on "server" to the end.
Example:
I'm Hiswhitewings of Fenrir.
Random dude is Hiswhitewings of Carbuncle.
I will then become HiswhitewingsFenrir
He becomes HiswhitewingsCarbuncle.
Tacky solution? Yep! But it's the best I could think of.
As for what zones would be used, keep the current ones to have less work to do. But more zones would be AWESUM PAWSUM.
