So in Greek Mythology, Elysium is the place of peace and happiness for fallen heroes, which in my mind doesn’t make a lot of sense if it’s a place where PvP is heavily suggested. I’d have named it after Tartarus, or even the Fields of Asphodel.

Many Greek mythos heroes were valiant warriors who lived and died by the sword; perhaps in the afterlife they find joy when participating in combat trials
Tartarus was where the condemned dead were sent, where the titans laid, and where some monsters were made. It doesn’t make significant sense either for a PVP realm either (PVE exclusive against bosses would make sense). The Fields of Asphodel were the common man’s afterlife. Again, they also don’t make sense for a PVP arena.
None of these options are perfect, but I’d say Vetex’s current choice is fine.
Id honestly ignore the lore implications of MC accessing Elysium, as well as the battle shenanigans. Its a special server only opened by testers and moderators, so its not accessible by normal means, meaning its existence isn’t really grounded much into reality either. And Im guessing its called Elysium just so that we could also fight past characters that would otherwise not be fightable.
Anyone who loves a challenge would LOVE to know what its like to fight Theos at his prime, or even Durza, who we never got to fight because Arcane Adventures broke abruptly. Lets just throw logic out of the window for this lol

What are you talking about?
There’s no Greek afterlife that makes MORE sense for this kind of place than Elysium.
This is the place where heroes and legendary warriors rest and enjoy eternity in Greek myth.
There is NO WAY they wouldn’t be constantly dueling for fun.
What’s this from? Very pretty.

hello Man .u are tardah
You sure that fallen hero’s ideal heaven isn’t an arena to duel for eternity?
A random artist named ericslee apparently
Persona 3
uh oh just wait till Mech sees that you said Persona 
My guess is that the player can access it only after “merging” with the poseidon thing or after Julian almost kills the MC
Do note that Elysium isn’t necessarily the paradise of the “good”. You just had to be “great” as a legend or great warrior to get in.
In theory, you’d be immortal in Elysium. Why the hell would you, as a great villain or hero with great power, not wanna indulge in some combat from time to time, when it poses no real risk to you?
It’s happiness for the fighters who live there. It’s a thrilling hobby.
As for lore implications…
Listen man, we’re basically confirmed to be a demigod. There’s probably a reason why we can access Elysium due to that alone.

though people who want bounty or fame will still hunt normal players. But if you want to PvP just to get better this place will do great.
