| − | ===== Queueing =====
| |
| − | | |
| − | Join the Battleground queue by clicking the green button on the Battleground gump.
| |
| − | | |
| − | If the Battleground gump is not visible, simply logout and then log back in, which will cause the gump to pop up again after awhile.

| − | A world message is broadcast to all online characters when someone joins the Battleground queue, and another is broadcast when a Battleground is about to begin.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The characters in the queue will also receive additional messages about the Battleground, including a countdown to the start of it.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Hit the red button at any time to leave/opt-out of the current Battleground.

| − | ===== Teams & Re-spawn Areas =====
| |
| − | | |
| − | Characters will be assigned to one of two teams - Team Red or Team Green - and will be equipped with a cloak in their team's colour for the duration of the Battleground.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Each team has it's own re-spawning room/area which contains Banker and Variety Dealer NPCs, as well as sparkle teleporters to access the combat area with.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Characters will begin the Battleground in the re-spawning area and will be automatically returned there and resurrected if/when they die.
| |

| − | ===== Combat =====
| |
| − | | |
| − | All characters are flagged as "red" while inside Battlegrounds, meaning anyone can freely attack anyone.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Faction status remains intact while inside Battlegrounds, however, there is no 5 minute temporary skill loss for Faction deaths that occur within Battlegrounds.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===== Modes & Locations =====
| |
| − | | |
| − | There are four different Battleground modes: Death Match, Elimination, Super Death Match, and Capture the Flag.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Death Matches go for a set amount of time and characters will continue to re-spawn until the time has elapsed. In the Elimination mode, characters only have one life and are removed from combat if they die.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Super Death Matches are the same as normal Death Matches except with AIPKs (player-like NPCs) added in as well as the players.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In Capture the Flag mode, characters must pick up and hold the flag for as long as possible. The player/team which holds the flag the the most amount of time wins.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The mode is picked at random, as is the Battleground location. Each location can play host to any of the four modes.
