I was wondering, as I know some people who play massive games as the Elder Scrolls series always eventually think; "Man, if only this game was online!". Well. What about something like an arena from Oblivion? The only online interaction portion of it is two players who battle it out in an arena. Pitting their customized characters and traits against one another. I don't see much conflict with the story as it's just two random adventurers sparring it out. And having the online portion limited to just an arena adds the ability for a PVP type system and a chance to actually put your character to the test while still maintaining the immersion of the game.
Just a thought, seems like something that would fit with the era of the game and could be that chance to add that, bit 'o multiplayer some people long for in a massive adventure game.
What are others thoughts on such a system?
