Battleground

[Forum~]

In addition to fRO, I have been playing a *not to be named* private, lowrate server that is more updated to the official version of Ragnarok. They had a PvP-oriented system called Battlegrounds. The description of this activity can be found here : http://irowiki.org/wiki/Battleground

I believe that this new PvP activity would revive the server and attract more players. It is a great alternative to regular PvP laddering or for_fild01. It is fun and it rewards you for playing it. The rewards and criteria of the game would obviously be changed to meet the circumstances of this server but something of this sort should be implemented.

Now obviously, something of this magnitude would be difficult to implement. Considering that there are 3 types of games to play in Battlegrounds, I would suggest that Flavius should be implemented first as it is similar to WoE.

Elaborate and comment below~

If this was already suggested... then fok, my bad.

I actually like this idea.

Also, I already played this on the official server and I know how it works.

The only problem is, there will be alot of changes for this server and also the rewards will be different from the orignal battleground.

This can be something different than GvG ofcourse, since it's a mixed party of people against another.

Maybe something like this could be held from GMs as a testrun on a different map.

We have battlegrounds. In those terms, we are as updated as any server. I just don't like how it is scripted so I like rewriting it. Better have something well-coded than something that will cause serious issues.

That's exactly what I meant.

It'll take a while until something like this could be implemented.

Still the idea is a great way of getting something new for the server.

OH, I didn't know O.O;... anyway, it seems like it's being worked on which is super cool. I'd love to see Battlegrounds fully running, optimized for this server :D.

My thoughts exactly. :P

As for the way Battlegrounds could run on this server, I suggest it should run every hour or two (or maybe only on a certain day) and one character per IP (to avoid a single player from getting multiple rewards). There should also be a "deserter status" where if you leave the Battlegrounds to join the winning team, you cannot enter the match until the next hour, forcing players to fight for their side. It will also keep the rewards interesting and desirable. I am thinking about more ways this activity could be fun for the server, without it interfering too much with all of fRO's other exciting aspects.

As Genesis may have implied, this has been accepted before (here), therefore work is being done on it.

It sounds really interesting though, especially with the pace of PvP we have here. Try to keep the input towards ideas for the mechanics, and we'd leave this open. Normally it gets sent to the Accepted/Rejected (accepted before, that is,) but I feel we can grab a few ideas from the players. :)

yeah i was actually wondering about BG figured the transition from low to high rates would have been chaotic, but if we found a way to make it work. thats insta rejuvenation.

those modes are hella fun, and as Peter said its Woe and GVG-like not simple events :P

MY only problem is..if implimented..when will i sleep? =o

[jorgesilvera]

Yeah! Battlegraunds! that was Fun at Iro. Hurry up Genesis! :D

Edit:Sugget 2 per day or host by GM, you get your 7 Events Tokens. :)

Since it's already being worked on, this is accepted.
