PvP Alliances

Alliances are groups players can join in PvP that are independent from their Guild. There are 5 Alliances a player can choose to join;

The Bright Empire	The Enchanted Grove	The Dark Order

The Wild Horde	The Golden Forge

Once a player has joined an Alliance, they will gain access to a new In-Game Chat tab, a Leaderboard, and their Ranking within the Alliance. 

The new Chat Channel is an Alliance-only chat so all players can speak with, and view any, messages from other Alliance members in game (such as Alliance notifications of when an Alliance Member earns the rank of Great General, and many others).

In order to participate and write in an Alliance chat, a member must be at an Officer Rank of Centurion V or higher. It’s important to note that if a player chooses to change Alliances, they will no longer be able to view their previous Alliance chat, and will instead gain access to their new Alliance’s chat.

The Leaderboard allows Alliance Members to see who are the top performers of their Alliance from week to week.

Rankings are a system inside Alliances where players can advance by earning VP (Victory Points) during a PvP season, and Alliance Loyalty. Alliance Loyalty is the number of days a player stays within the same Alliance. Both are needed to reach different Officer Ranks, so the more VP and Loyalty you have the higher your Officer Rank can go.

These Alliance Ranks also grant perks that give extra rewards to a player each day as a part of daily login. A player must login to receive them as they do not accumulate.

Having a high enough Alliance Loyalty will also allow a player to vote on future Citadel  Restrictions. More information on these restrictions and voting can be found in the Citadel Article.

As part of an Alliance, players fight for control over Citadels. Owning Citadels gives players in the controlling Alliance a chance to earn extra rewards. If an Alliance doesn’t own any Citadels, they will gain a Buff that applies to all battle types found in PvP.

• If an Alliance owns 0 Citadels they will be granted a large buff.
• If an Alliance owns 1 Citadel they will receive a small buff.
• If an Alliance owns 2 or more Citadels they will receive no extra buff.

It’s important to know that if a player chooses to change Alliances as they play, they will do so at a cost. Changing Alliances will cost a player 25% of their total Victory Points earned for the season so far, and result in a players Loyalty resetting to 0. This means a player's Alliance Rank will be recalculated and become lower than it was in their previous Alliance.

The only other time a player's Alliance Rank is lost is when a PvP Season comes to an end.
