If anything, PvP is the real end-game of CoX, since being the best will mean you need an extreme level of knowledge (DR, every game mechanic, PvE + more), typically the maximum amount of money you would need (53 HOs will be better than their 50++ ones), knowing the psychology of the person you're fighting, and more precise timing. PvP at higher levels demands perfection and there is not a single thing PvE that only 1 person can do which requires them to be perfect at everything, where as PvP's "best player" so to speak, will have to.

When CoX becomes free to play, a lot of people will run through the hardest content within half a year before they bore of dominating PvE. It can be challenging, but not nearly -as- challenging, and new players are going to need a challenge if they want to stay.

I enjoy high levels of PvE myself, but PvP offers a game where I have to be smarter than my opponent, and outsmarting AI isn't nearly as difficult.

Removing PvP wouldn't do much now, but it would later, players wouldn't stay as long and in the long run they would lose a significant amount to make them regret getting rid of it.

All that aside, I agree, PvP is a part of this game and as such deserves at least some attention.

And wait, how did people get banned for mentioning doughnuts in Castle threads?
