Irrelevant.
There are a number of reasons why I have been contemplating this. Right now, deaths should be considered impossible in the arena, but some rare cases do still happen where PK can take place in the arena. Because of this, I had to create "rules" to prevent this from happening. These rules are not always enforced, and require for immortals such as myself to waste their time stepping in and determining and placing judgment on players. It is, in essence, tiresome.
By keeping PvP entirely a choice as it always has been, it makes it so I don't have to ever worry about enforcing the arena's unofficial rules. The rule of survival in this game has always been; If you don't want to be PKed, don't be lethal. I shall embrace this concept for once, and make it so.
This has been passed. The arena will become a PK-able place once the proper edits have been made. Stay tuned to the Development Forum for more information on the specifics.
