The big question, especially when you consider Mythic's pedigree: player-versus-player gameplay. Jacobs quickly made it clear, however, that Imperator's focus will primarily be on the player-versus-environment experience. This isn't to rule out any sort of competitive elements, however; it's just that, since the world's powers aren't really at war, there is little reason to attack members of other nations on sight, let alone organize warbands, and raid their lands. In regards to players killing each other, Jacobs said that there will be "consensual PVP within a very structured framework." This, I'm inferring, means that players will be able to enter the Coliseum, and hack each other to bits. The focus, rather, be on a different sort of competitive encounter, between players. "We also want them to be able to engage in competitive actions, and we'll have that as well."
