If two or more players wish to attack a character together, both must send in a form with both players’ names in the ‘Name of Character’ field. How do you achieve victory? Well, as is common belief, high exp. reigns supreme in combat, right? However, weapons and armor also play an integral role in battle victory. This is the calculation for how battles are decided: X+Y+Z-(Ax10)=B Where X=experience, Y=Attack Value, Z=Defense Value, A=Healing Time, and B=Total Whichever character in the battle has the highest total value will be the victor. But, keep in mind; role-playing and activity are vital too. A character may have a slightly lower total, but may be far more active than the stronger character. To that end, victory may be awarded to the weaker character. In the end, the staff has the final say with who wins and who loses. Arguing will NOT help your situation and may result in us looking less favorably on you. |
