New Ragnarok Battlegrounds PVP System

October 1, 2008 · Filed Under MMORPG News, Ragnarok

We are currently testing the latest Philippine Ragnarok Online patch, Episode 18, Demise of Morroc (otherwise known as Satan Morroc in other countries). One of the most exciting features in this new episode is the Battlegrounds PVP system, two 19-vs-19 maps where you can challenge other players to a duel. Sort of like “capture the flag” type of mechanics, the Battlegrounds arena also offers “badges” if you win. You can exchange these badges for armor, weapons and other gear.

More details after the break…

RO Battlegrounds

All battlegrounds have the same basic set of rules.

Two types of battlegrounds have been added (Tierra Valley and Flavius). Tierra Valley is a single round, and Flavius is best out of three.
The matches are 19 vs 19, and enough players must be assembled before matches can begin.
After signing up with the specific NPC you’ll be moved to a special waiting area until the match is ready.
Participation in battlegrounds is rewarded with various emblems, with the number gained depending on if you win or lose. These emblems can be exchanged for various rewards.
When a player dies, there is a delay before that player can re-enter the match.
There are limits in place to participation in battlegrounds. Once you sign up for a battleground, there is a 5 minute delay before you can sign up for another match.
Some skill limitations exist for battlegrounds (icewall is prohibited).

Here’s the map of one of the Battlegrounds, Flavius

Note that the above rules and system are NOT official as of the moment. They may be subject to change after the end of testing. We will be posting official rules and systems on the coming Demise of Morroc microsite soon.

If you want to experience Battlegrounds for yourself, you can try Episode 18: Demise of Morroc at Sakray.

Rok On!
