How to Play

Upon entering the zone, you will find yourself in the hold of your team's flag, on either the red team or the blue team. After a short amount of time passes for your team to prepare, the magical barrier drops and you can enter the playing field.

Each team has a hold, with the flag that can be captured inside of the lower level. To find the playing field from inside your hold, enter the lower hallway where the crossed sword are located, and it will take you outside. The central part of the zone is mostly open area with a respectable distance between the two holds.

For a player to capture a flag, simply walk into it and you will pick it up. Once you have the flag, you must return to your own hold, go up the ramp located on the outside, and take it to safety before your team will score (roughly 150 points).

The player carrying the flag is very noticeable--it is quite large, and has a huge steaming banner behind it. The person with the flag is immediately placed into combat, nullifying run speed bonuses. If a player carrying a flag is killed, the flag is recovered.
