The Mercy system sounds fantastic, i wonder if we could develop it so you can choose to have your last few attacks weak on purpose as to not get a murder count. The trade off would be that your opponent could use full strength attacks while you just try to knock him unconcious.
I was kind of hoping for directional attacks, which I didn't see any mention of. Which makes me wonder what the generic attack direction is when you hold LMB. I know directional attacking might be real hard in an MMO, but I'm kind of hoping you forgot to add that you can charge attacks in some different directions

Archimagus,
I'm not sure you will have to spend points in PvE magic versus spending them in PvP magic, though we don't know yet. I took the magic system just as some spells are used for PvP and others for PvE. Which I like because it allows for a complex system of PvE spells to be developed while keeping PvP combat "relatively" simple so that it just doesn't become luck based (oo, glad I casted flamebolt 10 instead of ice lance 9).
Kudos!! I'm sure there will be some more great discussions on this.
