Will players earn XP by killing other players again, just like they did in the past? That would really make sense especially in Castle Wars & Soul Wars!

Mod Mark: I don’t personally believe that PK’ing should be your primary way of gaining XP in combat skills. So the answer is no.

Please, take 2 minutes out of your time to think about this. Look deeper than the question, what does PVP XP actually mean for minigames?

I really disagree with the PVP xp answer. PvP, while it shouldn't necessarily be the primary way of gaining xp, should still be a way of gaining xp.

The problem is at a game design level if I'm fighting a player who is more complicated than any NPC's AI could ever hope to be, why can't I get some experience from that?

Fighting should be fighting no matter what your hitting.
