in an 11 cat league for me it would be lbj and jabari <| sep |> 1 . The PvP is pretty active . Especially , Iron Bridge . I also find a lot of matches in the Forest of the Fallen Giants . Make sure you are not in the covenant of champions if you ' re looking for pvp . 2 . Sorry , but no , the ring does still count your soul level , but it makes it more likely for you to get matched with someone who chose the same deity while wearing the ring . 3 . I don ' t believe you can give souls to other characters , unless you save your new character and their progress on a USB stick , and have your friend kill your old character , with the one you have saved on the USB , in PvP . You can also drop souls , like Souls of a Hollow but you can ' t drop boss souls , and you also can ' t sell items . 4 . Yes here is one , rwheelanddealI found this really cool website where you can arrange games , but the guy who made it is having a bit of a glitch with his match making system , check out his news page for more info . www . darksouls . uk
