PVP

PvP stands for Player versus Player combat, an exciting military strategy in which real people fight against other real people! The twist on this is that instead of having your character die, you yourself actually die when you lose a PvP match.

Origins of PvP

After a heavy session of kitten-huffing and quoting Oscar Wilde, God got really bored. He decided to make an MMORPG to occupy his time. Being an experienced C++ coder, God had no problem creating the first ever MMORPG, which was codenamed "Universe 1.0." The problem was, he had nobody to play with. God's next step was to create the heavens and the earth. He created one account for Adam and one for Eve. Soon after, God released an expansion pack and added flora and fauna to the Earth, along with several other new races. Except for some lag issues, everything was going great. That is until Satan joined Adam and Eve's guild. During a raid of Jericho, Satan convinced Eve to ninja loot from the Tree of Knowledge, which was still under heavy development. Furious that they would exploit the server, God disbanded their guild and kicked Adam and Eve from the garden of Eden.

No longer having the luxuries of paradise, Adam and Eve were forced to cut down on their play time and get real jobs. Becoming increasingly busy, Adam and Eve decided to pass their assets down to two former guild members, Cain and Abel. Instead of the traditional process of spending hours and hours killing helpless and cute animals, Adam and Eve decided to give Cain and Abel all of their gold, armor, and weapons so that they could continue the exploits of their former guild masters instead of starting with the same gear as everyone else.

While it seemed like a good idea at the time, Adam had made one major mistake: he had given far more of the assets to Abel, leaving Cain in a deadly envy. In order to prove that he was less of a noob than Abel, he did something that would change history forever. While hunting some Level 1 Dire Earthworms, Cain stabbed Abel's character in the back, causing Abel's character to immediately disappear from the server. Abel never returned to the server. Cain paid no mind to this, convincing himself that Abel was just being emo. When he found out what really happened, it was too late, Abel was himself dead. This is widely credited by historians as the first ever PvP battle.

The Growth of PvP

Though PvP is widespread today, it was not always this way. In fact, the PvP as we know it today was invented less than 800 years ago, by Oscar Wilde, a young MMORPG afficionado.
