Hinkley

"A recreational area consisting of a few combat arenas for relaxation and training. Built by NCR to show their increasing influence in the area." -FOnline: 2238 (Appeared after the 30/08/2010 wipe)

Located Northwest of The Hub, Hinkley serves as a PvP arena where players can fight each other in a training environment over and over, yet suffer no actual losses. The gear is handed out for free and stays there. No xp is awarded and losing a battle does not send you to a wasteland respawn point. Instead, losing a fight only sends you back to the central meeting room inside Hinkley, to gear back up and fight again. This is a great place to meet players and test your character's fighting abilities in RT PvP combat without spending any ammo or risking loss of any gear. (You can use combat drugs before entering Hinkley and benefit from their effects during training, but drugs are not available inside the training area.)

Note

• You cannot enter if you have a weapon or drug in your possession
• No XP is given out for kills
• Battle is in RT (Real-Time)
• Players who died before have left much needed ammo/armor/weapons on the ground if needed
• Everyone in the same room is tele-ported to the match with the player who accepted it
• You don't get ammo until the match begins, at which time the right ammo will appear in your inventory based on which weapon you have
• No drugs are distributed inside Hinkley
• Drugs work inside Hinkley but only if your character uses them before going there

If you want to organize little fights or meet potential combatants, go to the #2238arena channel on the usual irc.forestnet.org.
