    Welcome to UO Renaissance Pinoquio!

    I'll leave it to some of our players to describe pvp better than I can.

    But the server overall is a Publish 1 based server without trammel, or trammel inspired features. Our combat mechanics are designed to emulate the Origin servers from 1999/2000 as close as possible.

    If you would like to get a feel for thing you can always check out our test server to try various builds and techniques.
    test.uorenaissance.com port 2597

    There is also a weekly fight night tournament hosted by some of the players and Capture the Flag games every 2-3 days.

    To get some good answers hop in our IRC Chatroom and ask the players there.

    Hi, welcome to UOR!

    The pvp mechanics are very much like what you might have expected pvp in 2000 to be on OSI/EA servers(not sure what the right term is there.)

    I'm not familiar with Burstfire UO, but I think this recent youtube video is pretty good at showing what pvp mechanics might look like. Although it is not necessarily consentual pvp

    There is typically a pvp tournament every friday night around 9:30 PM CST, you could come watch that as well.

    Could use a little weapon tweaking, but overall it is the best pvp I have seen in the case of variety and balance.
