What It Is
Live from: 22/06/2026
City War is the updated Town War system. Guilds fight over control of a town in a dedicated capture-the-point arena. Attackers try to take the city, defenders try to hold it. Declaring War (Attackers) An attacker commander declares war at the Town War NPC (same flow as before). Requirements:
- Must be in PvP League
- Can only declare during 18:00–21:00 server time
- 15,000 gold + 200 platinum fee
- City must not be on post-capture protection cooldown
- Veteran towns require the commander to be a veteran
- Max 3 city wars per day globally; no overlapping time slots
- After declaration, the war starts 24 hours later (world broadcasts count down).
