How We Can Make Everyone Happy With the Dueling System

Over the years there has always been a dilemma between the people who prefer the new dueling system and the people who prefer the older dueling system. The new system has taken over for the most part and the many who still love the old duel system are only given a taste of it every so often. Why not have an hourly poll in game which allows the player to vote for either the new or old system? Then the duel system will always satisfy the majority of the players online at the moment of the poll. Everybody wins! Please vote and reply with what you think of this idea.

We'll soon be implenting an old dueling arena to give people a medium to enjoy the old system on. This should be a good compromise.

You know the plan is to have old dueling areas right?
I'd hate an annoying poll that a lot of randoms get to vote at.

I like the ideas of areas better, this way I don't get screwed if a someone and all their school votes something I don't want.

What Lucifer and Rotem said.

That's meeting in the middle well enough, and I can easily see an in-game voting system that is annoying and easily abused.

Sponge

Yes, I'm aware of the plan to put old dueling areas in school.  However, unless areas for House Wars and FFA are made, the old duel system will not be put to use for winning items.

I old duel system is too messy in my opinion. Duels are much slower, and not realistic. TWC is trying to move forwards and not backwards. I think we're lucky to have a duel mat for the old one.

Sponge

Your opinion is that you prefer the new system. If a vote was held every so often we could establish what the majority of the server prefers(old or new), you yourself would vote for new then. Backwards? How so? I think we would be moving forward by having a system which can establish which dueling system is more preferred by the players at that moment. Also, how can say we are lucky to have the old system when you are clearly for the new system lol?

That's a selfish reason lol.

So as a few people have already mentioned, we have actually already been working to implement a dual-dueling system where students can actually do one or the other depending on what it is that they want to do. With that being said, it isn't entirely true that the old system won't get you prizes. It won't be nearly as vast as the "new system" dueling technique but there will be involvement in fight events that can be modified to use the old system such as duel tournaments and such. One big thing I think that we need to remember here is that having a majority of the game based on New system rather than Old system is overall healthier for the game and better for things such as Lag where you don't have so many spells bogging down system resources.
