Arenas

An always popular part of the Survival server, arena events involve any number or variation of premeditated combat scenarios where fighters volunteer to battle it out in the hopes of winning fame, glory, and some sweet, sweet loot. Each revision typically has a designated arena that is opened solely for staff-hosted events, and these are best enjoyed at frequent intervals throughout the entirety of the revision. Additionally, a new revision may also have an accompanying 'public' arena, designed to be free to use by anyone and without the otherwise necessary staff involvement. Players are encouraged to get involved with arena events in any way that they can, as it is a shared pastime enjoyed by many!

While an evening in the arena is a long-standing tradition within Survival, it is by no means the only one! Remember that combat occurs both on and off the arena floor, and you are more than encouraged to seek PvP encounters in your day-to-day experience as well.


Some players like to record the action and post Youtube videos. Feel free to add your own!

Rankings

Refreshed with each new revision, the Survival Leaderboard highlights the PvP capabilities of the current server population in accordance with one another. The page does not calculate updates in real time, so don't be discouraged if you land a high-ranked kill and you don't immediately see a change in your position on the leaderboard. A more in-depth look at the aims of this system and how it all works can be found here.
