That appears to be the case pie, probably because people who support rp default are **** in the current way pvp works, and the new update will both drive away people who enjoy pvp and discourage further pvp defaulting due to a really bad stamina system.
I personally like the system yet I agree that it is not a good thing for this server. Imagine giant warclaims with the stamina system and no one dying thanks to it. Luckily, I think that this can be adjusted. Once again, I like the changes but for Lord of the Craft it simply does not work :C
Hrm well the way it works, slows down combat. Better for small term fights. Plus A wooden axe does more damage then a iron sword. But is half the speed.
