PVP Ladder Information

THERE IS CURRENTLY NO PVP LADDER RUNNING

Greetings...

Essentially, this is just a rough guide to an event being organized by some of our staff. The type of event is 1v1 PVP, in which 2 players compete head to head and the last person standing wins. This event type is usually held within a medium/small sized arena.

The event will run alongside a ladder system to determine the rank of players who enter it ( will explain this part soon ). There are also a collection of rules which have been approved after testing in similar events on the shard, and which the organizers feel will be a true test of all participents ability, and not simply their ability to show off.

How does it work?

Using the familier table system, players must advance up the ladder by taking on players ranked above them. You may fight a player up to 2 ranks above you.

For example..... if rank 1 player fights rank 3 player and wins, both players will keep their respective positions on the ladder. If Rank 3 player wins, the 2 players swap ranks, meaning the Rank 1 player is now Rank 3, and previous Rank 3, is now Rank 1 ( hope its not as confusing as it was to type it up )

When a player on the ladder loses 5 fights, they will lose their position on the ladder completely, and make way for someone else to join it. If player's break any of the event rules, become inactive, or become a problem, they will be removed at the discretion of those running the ladder/fights.

When a space is available on the ladder, the next person that was waiting to join the ladder, but did not get in, takes their place, at bottom rank. This process is aimed towards making sure people have a chance to progress, while at the same time preventing the ladder stagnating.

At present, we are discussing the possibility of some sort of newbied item the top ranked player can have for the period of their time at the top of the ladder ( this would change hands if they lost ). We would prefer at this stage to wait a little first before introducing this item though.
For the time being those are the only prize being considered.

Other Notes

We do not intend for the ladder to interfer in regular events, and will try and come up with a regular schedule as soon as we have a better idea of how it turns out.

Since we're all only human, if we feel somewhere along the way part of the event is not working, it may be changed, or the rules may be adjusted accordingly. We usually expect change before things like this begin, but like to make sure we have it right first before taking the plunge.
