What does "Gladiatior Unlocked" mean?

I know, I know, there are you ole' vets out there who are probably rolling your eyes to this one. To be honest, there is still a lot in this game that I either don't pay attention to because it doesn't seem relevant to my playing style or I just haven't took the time to research it further and see what it means.

When I started this game back in Jan. 09', I was able to roll 9 toons (see signature below). During this time I have discovered the market and all it's glory, building up my Super Group base and working on some much needed badges that I procrastinated early on while building some of my toons. I never participate in Arenas or PvP type events. That was not my intention when getting this game. If I wanted to do more PvP then I would have listened to my office co-workers and got sucked in the wide world of WoW.

So vets, what does it mean when I see "Gladiator Unlocked"? Is this something related to PvP which I think it is? If so, it would mean something that has no other earthbound effects on what my toons does unless I participate in PvP type events.

I checked on paragonwiki and could find nothing on this. So, thus, I am posting here. Thanks

it unlocks a gladiator you can use i a gladiator match, which is a type of arena match.

a gladiator match is you VS other poeple in a team or free-for-all using gladiators, which are existng dev made enemies that you get control over like a mastemind has on their pets, you are untouchable and the match is over when the other person(s) gladiator teams are defeated.

i think these are quite fun and entertaining to do every now and then, but you cant get any drops from it like normal pvp, you can get credit for healing if you have the elusive longbow warden 2 gladiator (emp warden).

Also, not that "Gladiator unlocked" means you also earned a "Gladiator badge" relating to that Arena Gladiator creature. (There's a list available in your toon's badge drop-down menu in-game.)

Some Gladiators/Gladiator badges are unlocked by themselves directly; others are earned with no additional effort when a linked badge is earned.

Badge hunters generally seem to consider Gladiator badges to be full-fledged, earned, trackable badges.

One other note on Gladiator badges: they cannot be set as your badge title by directly clicking on the badge, as you can with other types of badges. However, using the "/settitle" command you can force the title to be set if you know the settitle number the badge in question is assigned (this works with any badge, but is required for using a Gladiator badge as a title).
