    My suggestion is that the staff please consider rebuilding a new PVP arena. As much as I enjoy PVPing in the arena we currently have, I am starting to get a little bored with it. I think it would be more enjoyable for everyone if the PVP arena were to be redone possibly every 2 months to keep it more interesting and mix things up a bit. Each time the arena is changed it can even have a new theme such as an underwater dome, a hovering platform, or a more hilly/3 dimensional map. I dont feel that changing up the map everyone so often would be a burden on the staff because, in my opinion, making the PVP map would be pretty fun to do. If for some reason rebuilding the PVP arena every 2 months or so is a burden, then a possibility might be to have a PVP map making competition, where anyone (mainly mayors +) can build a map they'd like to have as the PVP arena, and submit it to the staff for consideration. If the staff likes one particular map, they could cut and paste using world edit.

    I think that this would be a change that most people would agree with and enjoy, but if you have anything to add please comment :)

    You should check out Tom_Blachek's PVP arena. It's pretty epic.

    Yea I think I've been there. Isn't it the 200x200 one? I was thinking that we could have one a bit smaller than that lol

    Yep. But I think the current PVP arena is fine. Yes, it gets boring after a while, but it's a good arena overall.

    But do you agree with my suggestion that it would be nice for PVP to change every once in a while? I agree smaller is better because you are in more engagements more often

    Issues with current Spawn PVP more so than stagnation is that it can be exploited by Fly. Which is why players utilize mining more often. The mining world resets and the opportunity to capitalize on other miners while still having the availability of /spawn or /home appeal to most players. I agree that the spawn pvp should be redesigned. As for themes I think it would be simple enough to come up with them and keep it fresh, however it's just something else that isn't necessary that Andrew would have to deal with in order to provide a new arena. I like the idea but the only way it would come to fruition is if Andrew wants to deal with the headache of it.

    Guys, this is a great idea. I wouldnt mind building one myself, but it wouldnt have the tag of the "spawn" pvp. Changing it up is an amazing idea. +1

    Or maybe every couple months, there could be a contest to see who could build the best pvp arena with the same dementions (spelling) as the current one. Then, the winner's could be put in as the php arena and maybe win a small prize as well!
