<div style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:larger; color:orange;"><b>What is a Battleground?</b></span></div>

Battleground is a new PvP game mode where you can participate in exciting battles using your combat and tactical skills. Both your performance and teamwork are important. In the Battleground, you can earn Battle Points, achievements, as well as Gold and EXP, so you can improve your character in this game mode as well.

You can join the different battles either alone or with your group. The randomly selected teams can defeat each other, defend strategic points, and capture crystals, according to the type of the battle. The system checks your level and your earlier performance on the Battleground to sort the teams. During the losses and wins, your Experience Points and Gold will increase, so you can develop your character even if you like only this game type.

You can enter from level 6 (immediately after you finished the tutorial map), so if you do not like the quests and the fight against the monsters, then from the first moment you can choose this game mode and the development by the battles against others.

The system sorts the teams based on the abilities, levels, and earlier results on the Battleground. After the sign-up for the Battleground, the system will move you to a waiting list, and if there are enough characters, the system will inform all the players. After it, there is a small amount of time (60-90 seconds, depending on the battle type) to teleport and prepare for the battle: you can hide or stand out in an open place, etc. After this time, the battle begins with the tasks according to the selected game mode.

<span style="color:hotpink;">You can choose from four different battle modes on the Battleground. The different tasks, the randomly selected companions, and opponents will make the battle unique. The four battle types:</span>

* [[File:Pont.png|14x14px]] <span style="color:orange;"><b>Domination:</b></span> Capture and keep strategic points with your team.
* [[File:Pont.png|14x14px]] <span style="color:orange;"><b>Power Hunting:</b></span> Charge the randomly appeared crystals with your team and prevent the other team from doing it.
