An enhanced Dueling Arena system has been added to Oceania Classic. Three types of Arenas are available; AI, PvP, and Ranked PvP.

There is a moongate to the Arena Hall located on the Britain Bank Roof.

Rules
  • Players are unable to loot corpses in Arenas that do not belong to their own character.
  • When a character dies inside an Arena, items return to the player's backpack on resurrection.
  • All potion use is disabled while in Arenas.
  • The Fire, Poison, Paralyze, and Energy Field spells are disabled.
  • Some Arenas allow mounts, while others don't.
  • Players cannot use Ethereal Mount Statuettes while in an Arena, although if the Arena allows mounts they may ride an Ethy into the Arena.
  • The Faction system is disabled while in arenas.
Scoring

Players can check their scores at any time using the [score command. A scoreboard for Ranked Arenas will be introduced in a future publish.

Opponents that are eligible to be scored against will flag as enemies (orange names). Note that the Faction system is disabled inside the Arena areas.

For a kill/death to be recorded in a PvP or Ranked PvP Arena, the victim must have been at full health and the killer cannot have been flagged as a criminal when combat was first instigated.

When a player is attacked whilst inside an Arena while they are not eligible for a duel, normal flagging and combat rules apply - an innocent may give their killer a murder count, a murderer or criminal may be freely attacked, etc...

AI opponents do not have to be at full health to be scored against, nor will they wait for players to be at full health before they attack either.

Rewards

Players will be rewarded with special equipable lights as a way to display their achievements on reaching certain milestones in Arenas. These lights are blessed, come in a variety of hues, and bear the name of the player and their number of kills.

  • AI Arenas: Lanterns
  • PvP Arenas: Torches
  • Ranked Arenas: Candles
Arena Hall

The Arena Hall provides access to the Arenas themselves and is also home to a healer/vet/stable NPC.

Murderers are able to resurrect in the Arena Hall without suffering the normal 30 minute skill-loss penalty.

Reagent & Bandage Free

The Arenas are Reagent & Bandage Free Areas. Spells cast while inside the Arenas do not require or consume Reagents. A Bandage is required to begin healing however it will not be consumed on use.

No Faction Combat

Faction flagging and the 5 minute skill-loss penalty on death are disabled in Arenas.
