I think this is a question that needs to be brought up and discussed by the community. There's no end to the number of social servers that will be around for NWN2 just as they were for NWN1. They mostly focused on bringing people together for some pretty simple fun with team games, PvP and even slight roleplaying in a custom setting. (Well, some pretty wacky RP to say the least)
The features I would be open to look into introducing would be simple things I'm sure many of the more avid NWN players have experienced on different persistant worlds. It's card/dice/darts mini-games and maybe even throwing a punch at each other in a fist fight to the death at the local fight club. Drinking matches at the private merchant ship; or what about insult duels/a zombie vs zombie arena with sponsored fights in an abandoned docks warehouse? We're talking about things that don't necessarily need to be there but might work as things for people to spend time while catching up with friends and hacking zombies into pieces and running for your life and trying to find enough nutrition to keep in good health.
There's good reason to discuss this as there's much that could be gained from going down this route while at the same time some players might object to it strongly for it IS something that might make the PW take longer to be completed and entertain the builders with more bugs to fix/destabilize things. Well, not to take into consideration that the survival theme might be damaged if it was, slightly ironically, just 'fun and games'.

of course we need social activities... Of course not your avarage dice or cards... Something unique, something more interesting. Something with zombies

In the normal zombie survival I found the arena most annoying. Sure it was fun, a few times. But really, why must every module have one?
I have nothing against pvp. But I don't think an arena is needed for suchs.

arena is for controlled enviorement and fun... When fighting in the arena, the main idea is that no-one else disturbs the fight.
Also, there is the fun factor. Someone might actually enjoy watching a fight in the arena.
And of course... It doesn't hurt to have one, does it?
But personally I think we shouldn't do it... IF the serveris about surviving, encouraging pvp is hardly the way to go.

I think when the server is up people will find some fun things to do. The server will slowly develop it self. So when is the server finished?
