Hello, warriors!
New update is live! This week we’ve added new endgame events which you can find in the PVP zones on each link. They include world bosses in the final stages so you can loot precious rewards! We’ve added the tournament assists system and personal score too – for each action you will gain individual points which affect the rewards you will get, so from now on your contribution during the tournament will be rewarded properly! There is also a next part of the announced server-side optimization changes, as well as tons of gameplay improvements and bugfixes.
Enjoy and see you in battle!

Gameplay:
– Added new events on each link in the PVP zones to replace randomly spawning Brandon’s/Ragi’s cohorts and Dark Knights – the Cohort Strikes Back; these events are visible for all 70+ level players, can be done regularly and it’s possible to solo them, although it won’t be easy; events consist of several stages – the last stage is fighting one of following bosses: Ragi’s Cohort, Brandon’s Cohort or Dark Knight
– Introduced counting the player’s individual score during the tournament for specific actions, such as kills, assists, defeated guards, captured flags, and assisting in capturing and defending flags
