I know when you read the topic some people will say, "just go to unicorn way to duel". However i was thinking, how about houses came equiped with an extra island accesible by a bridge, or an extra open field or something that would have a duel circle on it. The settings of the duel could be controlled by the house owner, except instead of the duel options in the arena, it could just be the size of the duel and if only friends on either side could join. This may seem to contradict the duel arena, except these would not be ranked, and would be much more convenient. Think, you're having a house party, and suddenly you feel like dueling a friend, you could challenge them with a new button added to the menu that appears when you click on somones name, then you wouldn't have to leave your party, and all of you friends could watch while enjoying the party at the same time. and if you want to flee you would just leave the duel with all of your mana, and rejoin the fun and conversations. this would also give you a chance to impress your friends with a new spell you may have learned. Another advantage would be that you could enjoy the scenery of your home instead of a drab dungeon look. Also the home owner could set that anyone could join if they wanted to by opening a spot on either side of the circle, but they wont be able to start dueling untill somone joins the other side as well. THANK YOU SO MUCH for taking the time to read this long post. Sorry for any grammer or spelling errors, and feel free to pitch any ideas or thought about this.
