I like the idea of arena-based PVP, you can go many ways with these, but sadly it also has some limitations, but.. luckely, you can overcome these! By using multiple arena's. Here's a list of my personal view on pros and cons I'd like to share, feel free to discuss or disregard them!
Pros
• The obvious reason, limitations by level, skills, gear, etc... so you don't have the overpowered running around PKing the weaker!
• You can add different styles of arena's: regular deathmatches, team deathmatches, maybe some more tactical ones like protecting your teams king/queen, capturing the flag, king of the hill, ... (depending on how big the community is) This will provide a lot of variety and will keep people interested and more active in PVP.
Cons
• If you have an active PVP community they'd probably love to share an more open ground. They'd rather not be limited by their level, skills or gear (whatever you have intented) and you'll have these at both low and high levels. I'd suggest you open up one arena in free-for-all style!
