new arena plans from Korea

On the Korean non-PK test server, a new feature was added to the Giran arena. It appears that for 1000 adena (with multiple opportunities every day), you would be able to enter the arena and go through a Cray's-test style test of your strength. The participants would be given monsters to kill and once they were all dead, new, harder monsters would spawn (this includes bosses) and continue to spawn until everyone had left or died. I think this will be lots of fun if it ever makes it out of the Korean test server. ^^

Hmmm, I wonder about 3 things: A. Do these mops drop items? B. Do they give exp? C. Do you loose exp when you die to them?
1.If the answer to A is yes, I can see ppl going in everytime hoping for a good drop from the bosses. This will put a stop to the ppl complaining there's not enough bosses and the bosses are camped too much.
2.If A is no and C is yes, it's probably not going to be too popular, as going in there would be risking 10% for only a little exp. Everybody would go in once in a while for fun and that's it.
3.If A is no and C is no, it's probably still gonna be packed everytime, since you've got nothing to loose by going in and you'll gain some exp.
4.If A, B and C are all no, there's nothing to gain or loose, so it's just for fun. It's probably gonna be packed for the first few days and after that only a few ppl everytime.
So IMO the answers to these questions will have a huge impact on how this will turn out. What situation do you guys think would be best? And don't everybody say situation 1 cause that would also hugely increase the amount of rare items making their prices drop.

I think its a Kick Ass idea, i'd love to go just because i've never seen 1/2 the bosses in the game and i'd also like to see what they look like and what attacks they have, but it wood get boring after a while, especially if they made u lose exp which i'm sure they do.

It rocks! We never have stuff like that on out servers so it would probably be filled with peaple evr'ytime. It doesn't need to be the same mops ev'rytime, if they have different mops and bosses it's more fun...newbies would love to maybe even kill a DK(not that I think they will survive that long), but if ya don't wanna fight then watch and laugh when someone else dies Mwuahahahah

I agree with Orcide. If no drops, no xp loss, no xp gain, I would pretty much be in there finding out how many oranges I needed before something died, if my new weapon is better than my old one, etc. It would be fun no matter what. :)

Making us jealous of what Korean/HK/Taiwan/japan servers have.

Sidus the answer to # 3 is no u will not loose exp
U dont lose exp in combat zone remeber!!
----------------------------------------------------------
You lose exp in a combat zone if a mop kills you, just not when another player does.

It would be fun no matter what. I bet there are drops (Dragon fight anyone), and you do lose experience. Now Amer, what happens if the Prince of Giran gets a cut of the 1k per ticket. WOW that, zels , renting the arena, I wish they would let people rent the arena , and spawn monsters, by lvl (49 and above to spawn bosses, like the sosc.) WOW good reporting Amer, and for the record , I get all my news here , so I like the mirroring of NCsoft news. Its a waste of time to switch sites, NCsoft's official has jack as far as useful information , maps and free cake (uh wait is that just my house)

Yeah well, I think no exp, no drops and no loss is the least likely situation. Since neither mops that don't give exp or an area were you never loose exp are in the game. It's most likely just no drops.
