Replying about the other forum thread which have been locked :
Tru, they have keep the 1.8 pvp, But let's be honest
When all server get to 1.9.2 (pvp cooldown got tweeked, or however you spell it (Rebalanced?) ) and so if they still run on 1.8, then that is just plain stupid.
So... Meh, Eventually they are going to 1.9 pvp (1.9.2 pvp at the least)
