PvP

Although PvP on OGSMP is vanilla it does have a few mechanics that are rather unique to the server.

Firstly it's 1.8 hitspeed with a few elements from post 1.8 and pre 1.8 sprinkled in. For example although axes say that they do 1.16 damage on the item, they really do 1.8 damage making swords better than axes. Also a lesser known fact is that netherite armor actually doesn't give any extra defense on the server over diamond, their only advantage is durability and less knockback.

Potion Effects- Sometimes potion effects during PvP can be a bit tricky on the server. A few potion effects get cleared such as strength, if you get combat tagged and already had the effect. If you gain the strength effect while combat tagged you will not lose it unless you leave combat then go back in. Also ALL potion effects get cleared after your totem pops so be very careful once your totem pops.

Most Well Known PvPers on the Server-

Frez- Frez is well accustomed to 1.8 PvP especially on KitPvP servers and is known somewhat in some of the pot community. He is also one of the most frequent spawnkillers and is rather good in 1v1s

GonnaEatPie/TomorrowPeople0- They were one of if not the most notorious spawnkiller for a while on the GonnaEatPie account which caused them to get low enough rep that they started using a different account, TomorrowPeople0, to avoid to restrictions from negative rep. They are currently one of the most successful PvPers on the server, being able to contend with most to all PvPers.

BedwarsOG - Spawnkiller who is in a team with GonnaEatPie/TomorrowPeople0 who is equally notorious for spawnkilling. Also a very good PvPer
