No, PvP bonuses are gained from the Abyss only. Arenas are more like practise, and a form of inter-race PvP, but you can't get (for example), wing upgrades from the Arenas, only the Abyss. This is basically just to put a push on the Abyss, to make it more desirable to enter into.

The arenas are for intra-race PvP. The abyss is inter-race PvP. The arena sounds more like a free-for-all duel. Fighting the opposite faction sounds like it is the only way to earn PvP points at the moment.

* Upon death the character is teleported to a set resurrection point inside the Arena, and Returning sends the character to its Bind Point.
* Members of the same Group / Force cannot attack each other.
* It is possible to fly inside the Arena, but leaving the Arena while flying deactivates flight mode.
* You cannot request a duel while inside an Arena. Attacking is allowed at all times.
* It is permitted to enter or leave an Arena with a summoned Spirit.
* Leaving the Arena with any abnormal state (such as Bleeding) still in effect that was incurred while inside could lead to death outside the Arena. Please be careful as penalties still apply if you die outside the Arena.

4 party together, raid group.

[Turiel Soren]

so then will raids pretty much always be caped at 24? Or will there be bigger raids? Kinda used to some of our raids in l2 that could be 40, 60, 70, 80 etc

24 is the team-up cap.

hello, my 1st post and question here

so far i have read up to pg.25 and could not find the info i was looking for so here goes. When you die you will lose 5% exp. That seems like alot esp for higher lvl peeps. It was mentioned that you can buy / pay for your lost exp. does anyone know how much that is. And will this 5% be a burden at higher lvl when people are in the abyss and getting killed by other race alot.

Umm, sounds more like a practise area for the Abyss.
