Gladiator Survival

So far I do not have very many ideas to improve upon the game. This is by far one of the more challenging survival servers. My first few characters were fleshed out and died relatively quickly. I've been maintaining a distance with most of my other characters because of their short lifespan. This has resulted in a great deal of fairly generic characters because I feel like it would be exhausting to lose one I cared about so often. I find it difficult to maintain distance otherwise.

Edit: I suppose I have one minor suggestion if it isn't too much trouble. I notice it is very difficult to see what is going on in the arena when you are spectating from the Pulvinus, which is a shame. I believe it is because line of sight is blocked by the placeables around it.  You are also teleported back to the slave pens as soon as the match is over which is kind of jarring, maybe that could be delayed by a few rounds.

The Burnt World of Athas, the place where this evil all began.

You find yourself in the City of Draj, capital of the great and brutal Empire. This oppressive regime had just finished the first step of it's long injustice to the humanity of others. It had set upon it's claws on ever corner of the world and was not going to lose it's grasp. The shadowy Emperor and his Grand Sorcerer had ascended this plague that was the Imperial Rule. Not much is known about the Emperor or his Sorcerer, but many rumors do exist. With no where left to conquer on the dying planet of Athas, the Emperor and his Sorcerer set their sites on the horizon. They began assembling an army for invasion, and with the liberal usage of the Sorcerers magics they were one ultra-dimensional portal away from their newly conquered realms.

Here in Draj where you find yourself now, the old guard's quarters of a re-purposed fort. With total global control there was no need for masses of forts in Athas anymore, in their place the Emperor erected massive statues and bloodied Arenas where the dull masses could satiate their own bloodlust. As an infection was their greed, they actually had the masses believing in their propaganda, their message of superiority above all other beings.

This Arena is now where you find yourself, and you will have to come to terms with it or die in the pits...
