Q. If you could cancel any online game, which would it be? (Answer!)

Q. What do you love or hate about PVP? (Answer!)
A. PvP is nice when people know what they are doing on both sides, if one side has crap players it isnt fun at all. If both sides are equals, then its a blast, it comes down to skill and ability, I love pvp purely for the fact of going head to head against another player, when it comes down to skill its all about ganking the next guy to prove your worth.
Q. If you made your own game, what would it be like? (Answer!)
