since we have a community inside the server wich focus in the 6 vs 6 scene .

year-2000.

Videogame: everquest .

while not famous as daoc or ultima for the pvp. it was indeed everquest the first online roleplaying game to make a global event focused in the pvp concept .

the first was the Best of the best tournament .
each of the 24 servers of everquest would held a tournament in the zone named the arena . where each class would battle . the winner of the tournament would be rewarded with a tittle and would be moved to a special competition .

this special competition would be the first inter server dueling match and would be used to determine who was the best of the best player of each class .

here is the original video of the Warrior best of the best held in 2000

here is the original video of the monk best of the best held in 2000

the succes of the event would lead months later to the very first 6 vs 6 international tournament know as TEST OF TACTICS.

Teams of 6 players would feud in tournament to win the right to represent their server in the global tournament .

this is the video of the original test of tactics held in 2000

while mostly ignored by the nowdays players this set of events become the set to the growing pvp community in online rpgs .
