PVP Features
If you're into player vs. player combat, ABCUO has a lot to offer.
Duel System - Say "I challenge thee" anywhere in the world to tell another player that you want to duel them. If they accept your challenge, you are taken to a safe dueling area where you can fight without interference.
Active Factions - On ABCUO, factions are not merely an excuse for player combat; there are material reasons to become ranking faction leaders, and great benefits if your faction can take control of the towns.
Team Combat - In the team event room, you can register to play pickup team games, namely Capture the Flag and Double Domination. Get a group of six or more players for pick-up games, double click the join stone and the game runs itself from that point on. Consistent winners of these games receive prize tokens, which can be used to purchase unique prizes.
Arenas - ABCUO staff runs events throughout the day, and the most popular ones are PVP tournaments. There are a variety of arenas and event styles beyond the standard arena, such as: pure mage (no archery and no contact); cage fighting in a 4x4 area; standardized events where everyone has equal gear; jousting; naked with only plain weapons and reagents; or even barehanded no-healing fistfights. Sometimes we'll have two vs two or even three vs three contests; a free-for-all where the last person standing wins; or more involved events such as a crafting/fighting team deathmatch in which you craft your equipment from scratch and raid the enemy team.
Regular Events - The prime event is Friday Night Fights, held every friday evening (server time), with each winner receiving a unique item. In addition, there are automated events run at various times during the day.
Prizes - Winners of events receive either gaudy one-week trophies, or reward tokens which are redeemable in the prize room. The prizes include decorative items for your house, miscellaneous usable items such as dyetubs, and ethereal mounts.
