UPDATE[NA] Guild Territory Wars Beta Test

[Skip to the end of the announcement for the UPDATE.]

Greetings, Saviors!

As previously introduced through our dev blog and magazine, we’re preparing to launch a new kind of GvG play in TOS called the Guild Territory Wars, where you can battle rival guilds for areas of territory in selected fields.

Since the Territory Wars are completely new content, before going live in all servers we will be opening a one-week beta testing period in [NA] Klaipeda in order to address possible issues and assess the players’ feedback in a more controlled environment. We chose [NA] Klaipeda because the server’s population and peak times facilitate our ability to apply live fixes when necessary, while still ensuring a good degree of participation.

All guilds in [NA] Klaipeda are welcome to participate in as many sessions as they wish. If you are interested in joining the test, make sure to brush up on the rules of Territory Wars at our latest announcement and read the sections below to find out how you can contribute.
 

Testing Schedule

The Territory Wars test in [NA] Klaipeda will take place from the scheduled maintenance of April 17 to April 24, 2018. The Territory Wars sessions will open every day at EDT 22:00-23:00.
 

Participation Rewards

During the testing period in [NA] Klaipeda, the rewards for Guild Territory Wars will be different from those previously announced, as the content will not yet be released live in all servers.


1) Guilds that have participated at least once in a Territory Wars session during the test period:
- [Event] Talt x300 (sent to Guild Storage)

5) Five-day attendance reward for individual players (received after you participate in at least one session per day for five days):
