Eruv gave us the bloody solution!
Take one of the old pvp islands, which are still there, checked myself before merge.
Introduce an npc in capitals or wherever, who sells 299.99 bulk tp tickets. This will take you to such an island. On the island where you spawn you get a npc who sells gear for free, pvp points, dappers or whatever. This makes sure everyone uses the same stuff. Since tp tickets take bulk, you will not be able to escape with this gear either, without going and getting another 299.99 bulk tp ticket back to mainland!
If I recall there are 5 different islands, so could make one for each grade of gear, for example fine generic gear on one, choice on next etc. That or make it so that the q on the gear will vary. This way you'll limit the levels who will play there, and lvl 50's will get proper pvp as well (as long as no master comes along and nukes without amps, but that would be rude).
This will allow pvpers to pvp without crafting. Not sure how to bring up a meaningful reward from it though, apart from the occasional awesomesauce gear that you can put on npcs. You would probably have to put a stable there, or maybe apartments, so that you won't have to rebuy the awesome gear every time you go to the pvp zones. Not sure if you could add a possibility to have a second apt for homins, since it can't be access to your regular apt, for obvious reasons. I can imagine people could stand to sacrifice a packerslot, but I don't see anyone sacrificing the storage of an apt for pvp. Some storage will be needed on the islands though. Preferably one that only can be accessed on an individual island, so you can create different level or grade-zones.
Gas out.

"It's shite being tryker! We're the lowest of the low. The scum of Atys! The most wretched, miserable, servile, pathetic trash that was ever shat into civilization. Some people hate the Matis. I don't. They're just wankers. We, on the other hand, are COLONIZED by wankers. Can't even find a decent culture to be colonized BY. We're ruled by effete arseholes. It's a shite state of affairs to be in, Marceline, and ALL the fresh air in the world won't make any ****** difference"
