Town Control

A team PvP event fought in the streets of Lyonspyre itself - among the townsfolk, the vendors, and anyone going about their day. Two teams battle over control points for twenty minutes; the highest score takes the match.

How to play

Type [tc join from anywhere - the field, the bank, even a dungeon mid-farm. When enough fighters have signed up, the match forms: teams are randomized and equal, and you are summoned to your team's base with whatever build and gear you are carrying. When the match ends you are returned to the exact spot you queued from.

The rules of the fight

• Two teams: Crimson and Azure. Enemies show orange, teammates green. Everyone else in town still sees you normally.
• Control points stand at key spots in town, marked by braziers. While only your team stands at a point, it burns your color and earns your team 1 point per second. Contested or empty points earn nobody anything.
• Kills award 10 points to the slayer's team.
• Death costs you nothing. You drop no items, leave no corpse, and take no skill or stat loss. You are returned to your team base at full health, wait out a short cooldown (20 seconds), then step through your base gate to re-enter at a random spot on the battlefield.
• Highest score after 20 minutes wins. A tie is a draw.

What is (and is not) allowed

• Fights between participants are completely consequence-free: no criminal flags, no murder counts, and the town guard looks the other way - murderers can queue and fight in town safely for the duration.
• Outsiders cannot interfere. A player who is not in the match cannot heal, buff, or attack a participant, and participants cannot touch outsiders. Your fight is with the other team only.
• Participants cast freely in town (the usual town casting limits are lifted for them), but escape magic is sealed - no Recall, Gate, Mark, or Teleport out until the match ends. Walking out of town just walks you back to your base.
• Pets and summons fight with you and inherit your team's colors and rules.
