The state of PvP

It might seem like we’ve forgotten PvP, but strengthening PvP and competitive gaming is a key priority of ours. Old School has had incredible success with our competitive events, and we continue to enjoy an engaged PvP playerbase. With that said, there is no quick fix. In the section above we mentioned the difficulties posed by polling PvP content. It’s crucial to resolve our approach to introducing content geared towards PvPers before we can make notable changes.

We want to talk to you a lot more to make sure we’re making the correct decisions. In the past we’ve established working groups with players who engage in the PvP scene and this approach certainly has its strengths. However, it also means that when it comes to PvP content, we’ve historically ignored those players who have stopped PvPing, or who don’t PvP. So, we intend to establish a process to involve those of you from different player groups. We’re a thriving MMORPG full of players who engage in lot of different types of content. It’d be wrong not to involve everybody, even if the updates are catered towards specific groups.

We’ve discussed reworks to the likes of Bounty Hunter and Last Man Standing in the past. But we want to make sure we are focusing on what will make the biggest difference to PvP. We believe that there are more fundamental changes that need to be made and working with our core PvP community will help us to make the right decisions to fix the root of the issues, not just band aid the problem.

We know that content changes for Deadman Spring and Deadman Summer have disappointed our dedicated Deadman players. This was part of a conscious decision we’ve made. We want to breathe new life into Deadman - we have some monumental changes coming later this year and we are sure they will blow you away. We aren’t able to share precise details just yet, but we’ve never attempted anything to the scale of what we’re planning to do.

We’ve spoken about how we want to involve you, but it’s equally as important to make sure we are strengthening our in-house team. With a new Director of Community and the impending arrival of a Head of Esports, coupled with continued recruitment of content developers, we’re positioning ourselves to be able to take PvP and competitive gaming further than ever before.

Old School has grown with, and because, of the deep connection between the team and the players. This blog is just the start of how we will work together to make this game even better. We know we have a way to go and we know this will be a journey. We want to bring you all on that journey with us. Watch out for more updates on the topics here in the coming weeks, including in a livestream tomorrow (Wednesday March 20th) which will feature some of the Old School leadership team, at 5pm GMT on Twitch.
