The Mission

The mission of this project is to create a self-contained environment of relatively open Player vs. Player gameplay where players are allowed to engage each other in unscripted conflicts involving a moderate degree of risk, within an environment where allies are always available and where player growth may be impeded, but not lost.

The Plan

Two “rival” alliances will be formed, each self-run but abiding by a common set of rules and moderated by Overseers and Team Managers. The rules have been carefully crafted to minimize newbie harvesting, prevent the elimination of active players, and allow players to continue growing; yet, they are done so in a way that aims to maintain as much of the entertainment and benefit of aggressive gameplay as possible.

Note: As you can see, no one outside the two alliances will be put in any danger provided they do not disturb the members of either alliance. Meanwhile, members can engage in hostile actions between the two alliances without incurring the wrath of the greater community.




The idea is no doubt born from good intentions, however reality never falls neatly into rulesets and categories such as described above (and neither do people for that matter), and for that reason alone I believe this "theoretical construction" will never work in practice. I wish you the best in your endeavors.

Sounds like a pretty cool idea, I look forward to seeing all the rules and such. Maybe I'll join on my alt. =)

UPDATE 12/2/12: The Elgea PvP League West is disbanding. There are two reasons for this. (1) I feel the current political climate is unsuitable for this project and too detrimental to recruitment to proceed at this time. (2) I believe I require more experience in Illyriad before I can run my own alliance.

The PvP League East is still functioning and recruiting. Lath had decided to maintain his portion of the alliance. As I understand it, he seems to be entertaining the idea of a military-based training alliance. If anyone is interested in joining, contact Lath via In-Game Message.

UPDATE 11/9/12: The Elgea PvP League is adding a training program for new players with an interest in military, diplomatic, and magical warfare.
At Lath's proposal, the PvP League is adding a new "apprentice" program to bolster recruitment. Any player under 5000 population and less than 3 months' experience can become an apprentice. Apprentices will be safe from all forms of attack and provided with the knowledge and resources necessary for becoming a substantial force in combat. Interested players should send an in-game message to Lath or Hadus (myself), or better yet, post here on the forum.

The Elgea PvP League* is now accepting invitation requests! If you yearn for an open form of Player vs Player combat that allows for greater degrees of freedom while protecting participants from annihilation, look no further!

The PvP League is actually two alliances, run by myself and Lath, set in a constant struggle against each other. New members are sorted into one alliance or the other, and let loose to engage each other in all sorts of different forms of combat. While we strive for freedom of action, a number of rules are put in place to temper the more permanently destructive strategies available.

The first Season of combat is approaching! We would like to start by December 1st at the latest, possibly before then depending on the number of interested players. Below is a host of information regarding recruitment, the way Seasons will work, and anything else that will help you determine if you wish to participate. Members can join without fear of commitment, as they may leave at any time, although they are encouraged to wait until the end of a Season to do so. For other alliances and on-the-fence players, we have included a guest system that lets you try out our alliance for one season to get a feel for how we operate.

*name change pending
