I posted by mistake in Renewall suggestions, but my main plan is have something like this in Classic.
This idea came from bRO (Brasil Ragnarok Online) and was a success. I'll post here how it worked translating the rules and how it run so well in bRO.
About Tournament:
In Level Up Games official website we had this table:
Containing: Position Guild Name Guild Leader Points Counting Start Last Update
Rules:
The Clans Ranking determines the best clans on each server in a period of 3 months. Points are given by Economy values and the castles held by each clan by the end of the War Period. The Ranking is updated at 23:45 after each WoE. The score follows the following standard:
- End the war with a castle = 50 points for each castle
- Ending the war with the same castle that started the period = 70 points for each castle
- Reaching Economy 50 within 3 months ranking (point granted only once) = 200 points for each castle
- Reaching Economics 100 in the three months ranking (point granted only once) = 400 points for each castle
--> If a clan already started the competition with the economy 50 or 100, the points will be given immediately. In case of a tie, the following tiebreakers will be applied:
-Total number of castles conquered during the 3 months.
-If there is still a tie, they will receive different classification according to the clan level (the lowest level of clan will have the highest rating).
-If again there is a tie, the criterion will be the average level of the clan members (the higher, the higher the ranking).
Divulgation and Rewards:
Level Up Games announced this tournament in all official medias, 2 months before it starts, recalling old guilds and players to back to bRO using banners, sending e-mails to old Gleaders, heavily promoting this event.
As Rewards:
The first place won 10x "+9 Guild Name Mystic Goat" + 1b.
-Gleader receive all items and distributes/sell to the players according to the interests of the guild.
-Mystic goat is like Gigantic Majestic Goat, but instead of give 12% damage to humans, it reduces 12% damage from humans.
2nd place: 10x "+7 Guild Name Mystic Goat" +500m.
3rd place: 10x "+5 Guild Name Mystic Goat" +250m.
4 and 5th place: 5x "+4 Guild Name Mystic Goat"
Since WP had the amazing idea to prohibe godlies and MvP/GR/DR cards from WoEs (even if it was only for a month), a "balanced" Tournament could bring back lots of old guilds (and new ones too if WP puts 2~3x XP event before this tournament). Rewards should be different too, in 2008 Mystic Goat was the best helmet, WP can use another good items as reward.
Problems:
I'll list some problems that angered players:
1st and most annoying problem - Intense lag and DCs inside castles (Bad servers just made some alliances break, because strike some castles with 2~3 guilds at the same time was impossible).
2nd - Bug exploits, like recalling inside 2.0 clastle 2s before WoE, so players could hold the RO Window until the war period starts and spawn near Emperium.
3rd - Corruption from GMs, in bRO we have the sad, but true legend of a +10 clip with Maya Purple.
4th - Cheats like no-delay, AHK, WPE and others.
Conclusion:
If Level Up Games (A publisher that everyone hates, with a dirty name in Brazil) could bring back RO new/old guilds and players with this tournament, WP that is a little better (just kidding, its much muuuuuch better), can do a wonderful event that bring back RO to good days with a lot of fun.
