I think the term “AA player” rather than “peacekeeper” implies that this is just the player character in the AA game, rather than their canonical lore counterpart who did all that wacky stuff.

i’m not entirely sure what you mean
the player character is their lore counterpart they’re the same people
Not really.
The AA player character never made it to Mainland, never killed Durza, etc. Just the guy you play as.
The Peacekeeper did it all, because “the peacekeeper” is implying that this is the version who did accomplish all this stuff, and earned that title, and became a lore character in AO.
well tbf, the “peacekeeper” was only given as a title of the AA mc for their feat of defeating durzacheron.
the AA player would be as far as we got to see the protag in the gameplay we know.
Canonically?
Endgame AO player is much sttronger than the AA player. (Pretty sure Tech confirmed this)
Game wise?
AO player would win because AA heavy endlag between moves and moves like firestorm forcing the user to be stuck for a long time. Also AA player has 0 mobility unlike the AO player.
okay then if we’re talking about gameplay only then aa player wins because the level cap there is almost double the level cap in ao
I would say this battle would just be destructive, imagine the magnitude of both the characters, insane stuff, but I think they’d most likely do a standstill and agree that they are both strong, but if they hated each other I’m saying AO player, reason is that the AO player has much customization with everything they got, they literally have 100 types of potions and have weapons buried deep under the sea and weapons of godly power, also AO players have MORE experience with combat, where as yes the AA player also has more combat experience yet they def havent even fought atlanteans, also AA player had limited customization, they had godly weapons but limited stuff, AO player would win if they become something similar like the PK…
Even though Tech has mentioned that the AO MC will probably be stronger than the PK at their respective endgames, the AO MC definitely would NOT be able to stomp the PK. Vetex has stated that the AO MC won’t be top 1 of the verse at the end of the game (source at bottom). Since he’s probably not including things like Chaos and Creation in that statement it can be reasonably assumed that Arthur will keep his crown as strongest in the verse, unless that gets retconned too.
Since the PK was able to beat the two people who killed Arthur (yes I know he was depressed and got jumped but undead Zeus still killed Poseidon, then undead Poseidon was still strong enough to force Arthur to use his full power, so they’re all somewhat similar in power), it’s safe to say that the AO MC and PK will most likely within the same tier of strength i.e. up there with Prime Theos/Durza, Arthur, Poseidon, Wotan, etc.
So honestly I could see a fight between the two going either way with the AO MC having an edge. Course I’m not entirely sure if Tech’s statement applied to the PK before or after they get the Absorption Curse and absorb a bunch of magics. Cause depending on that, the scales could be tipped either towards or away from the PK even more.
Also people keep bringing up gameplay things like levels/stats/reflexes/etc. for some reason ignoring the fact that we’ve seen time and again that gameplay ≠ lore. Not to mention if AA were remade it would most likely end up having more or less the same gameplay style as AO, it’s not like the gameplay differences actually exist in lore…
Sidenote does anyone have an actual screenshot of when Tech said the AO MC would be stronger than the PK? I remember him saying it but I can’t find it in the discord for the life of me 
source you say? right here

the dodge key + 230 agility in question:
(literally no attacks, big or not, won’t matter if there’s such heavy endlag and speed)
i think you’re underestimating how fast and big AA attacks were, not to mention the sheer stat difference
yeah they were pretty slow compared to AO but they weren’t that slow
I’m literally just saying though
I never played AA/AR
don’t blame me for being inaccurate
well AA had gears with like 100 power or 900 defense
it’s sub stats vs overinflated pow/def
AO players have pulsar and surge, it’s an easy win
pulsar is kinda mid and surge is trash rn lol
AA has its own ults, some which are literally pulsar but overtuned
that would involve being stronger than chaos which aint happening
aint chaos a force of nature rather than a character
chaos is sentient so id count it
by the end of the game? prime theos and durza not quite, cursebeard definitely not, but the rest yeah
we have the potential to surpass them but itll take a very very long time
I think you’re forgetting one
