Regnum may be the only mmo where players regularly refer to being in the flow state, in order to succeed in what may be the fastest and hardest pvp in mmos today:

I've recently stumbled over Regnum. How is it nowadays, Graphics look bad, but I can ignore it. How is the gameplay, balance? Is there any PvE at all?

um... Regnum isn't really a pve game. For the real veterans, the pve can sort of get zen, since they all know what to expect. RvR is super busy.

i guess, the vibe i get is Regnum is sort of unique in the pvp genre. It's a really hard RvR game to plan anything, so a lot of the game ends up being about destiny and fate. It's the only rvr pvp mmo i know of that winning or playing the pvp is like a deep dopamine hit, or like taking a smoke break. Maybe because everyone is standing around chatting about funny plans, or what is happening or not happening, or just chilling. Nobody expects anything, yet everybody pushes in hard when the opportunity arrives.

Regnum is sort of the game, if you can get into the zone, it sort of shows you are in tune with real life, you can manage taking away all the superfluous gfx, and yet get with the rhythm of death and life?
