War Prologue

Dynasty on the north of the MagicLand, and Empire on the south of the MagicLand has historical disputes especially the dispute on how to divide the resourceful Golden Plain. As this bitter border dispute grew mad on time, a great war between the two countries broke out, attempting to settle once and for all this endless historical matter. However, a turning point happened when Devils were accidentally set free from Hell. Remaining Humans were then cornered in an extremely hostile environment.

Even though, the remaining heroes of the MagicLand unregretedly kept their principles. Regardless of feeble struggle, weak resistance, they gave their resolute refusal to meaningless survival from Devils’ sympathy. And this had been giving very strong courage to the remaining general public. Heroes then tried to persuade people from the two opposing camps to cooperate against Devils. However, hatred was deep-rooted while hostility became part of instinct. Various factors worked against Heroes’ efforts while people were simply inclined to reject compromise. Heroes then realized they had to conform and stop struggling against their emotional selves.

Meanwhile, Devils thought they were powerful enough to be able to rest easy appreciating this situation. They were pretty sure when Humans were without the aid of Gods, they definitely had no way and potential to do anything worthwhile. Was the self-confidence overdue? Maybe this was the golden opportunity for Humans’ revivification? Or innumerable lost souls would forever stay in the devastated Golden City?

It is always dignity, the petty but priceless magic that drives people so fearless. Today, readily taking the responsibility to serve the country, infinite compatriots will again send in Golden Plain, the well-known Hero Bone-yard to die a heroic death… The MagicLand will surely mourn their passing!

Introduction to State War

The state war is a Combat between the Dynasty and Empire states in MWO(Free MMORPG). The Massive State war takes place on the Golden Plains map every Saturday starting at 7PM PST. The ultimate goal of the state war is to capture the opposing side’s properties. Every player above level 30 is invited to participate.

How to Join

Requirements: Character level of 30As previously mentioned, the state war begins at 7PM PST. Since there are players from all around the world, you may have to figure out what time the war is using time zones. Fortunately, there are many websites that allow you to do this easily. If you do not live in PST, please visit one of the following websites and follow the directions to determine the “correct” time for you.

General Information

Once you enter the map, you will be inside a fort. to leave the fort you must talk to the Battleground Teleporter. He is located at the right side of the fort and will teleport you to the North, Center, or Southern gate. From here you will enter the field. If it’s your first time participating you can run around and scope things out. Remember to bring plenty of HP/MP potions and to stay with your party. If you die you will be sent back to the fort and will have to talk to the teleporter again to start over. 

Strategy

All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when ableto attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seeminactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are faraway; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.

As we all know, strategy is a vital part of winning any combat. The same applies during the State war.

I. Teams

Every player participating should be in a party. This is the equivalent of a brigade or unit in a real war. The best teams have members from each class who are within the same level range. Decide who will be the leader of the group, and don’t forget that healers will be a vital part of your survival and to protect them.Also, there are NPCs that will attack you that are controlled by the opposing side. I normally avoid these NPCs as they are very powerful and focus on PKing and attack the Steeles. 

Glory Points & Winning Wars

Glory Points are the most important thing to consider during a State War since they decide the ultimate winner. They can be obtained by killing players from the opposing army, destroying/capturing their properties. At the end of one hour, the side with the most glory points wins and players who earned enough glory are rewarded with War Packages that may contain Legend gears. At the end of the war, you will be transported to your main city where you can see who garnered the most glory points and check your backpack where you may find your reward.

II. Choose a General

Each country should choose a player who is very experienced to lead everyone. Without a solid leader, it will be a short time before the more organized side is able to overcome the disorderly side. The war will become far easier if you listen to your leader.

III. Defend vs. Attack

The ultimate goal of the State war is to rack up ‘Glory Points’. Glory points are obtained by killing opposing players or capturing their properties. A good army will know when to attack the opposing side to gain glory and when to defend itself from overwhelming attack. If your side is behind in glory points, it may be a good idea to defend your remaining properties and gain glory points by killing those attacking it.

Communication is also a very important part. Remember to inform your countrymen of any activity made by the other side.

The next step is to enter the Golden Plains map. If you are Dynasty go from Sky City go to the Armed Coast map and to the left to enter Golden Plains. Empire players will have to go from Sun City to the Hope Oasis map and all the way to the top to enter Golden Plains. Of course, you can always just set your MWO Robot to bring you to the correct map. Entering the map will automatically enter you in the war. A few players have encountered a glitch that does not transport you to the correct map if you entered the Golden Plains map before the war starts. If you do not see any players from the opposing side, just leave the map and re-enter. You should not be able to see the normal Golden Plains mobs.

*Episode I War of Gods and Devils*

Our story began on an ordinary day in the dim and distant past when Humans were just worshipping Gods at their annual harvest festival. The Death Legion with Lucifer, the King of Devils, struck Golden Plain, the sacred site that had also witnessed the origin of Humans.

Not expecting this to be within Lucifer’s web of intrigue, Odin, King of Gods, hurriedly dispatched his Super Corps to the rescue of the catastrophic victims. But it turned out to be a snap decision of fatal consequences. Like a lamb to the slaughter, the whole corps suffered a crushing blow from the Death Legion. As soon as the victory over the Super Corps, Lucifer grabbed the opportunity to storm the Frozen Mountain, the Gods’ headquarter. As it turned out, Odin, with his Super Corps annihilated, found himself have no choice but to make the ultimate sacrifice by fusing himself with the Dominant Sword, a magical sword of divinity to seal the border between Hell and the MagicLand with the Death Legion as well as Lucifer pulled back into Hell. Thus the Devils’ attempts to seize control of the universe overnight were thwarted, and the remaining victims of Gods and Humans were finally saved.

*Episode II The Great Migration*

Humans were then left helplessly to suffer in Golden Plain’s extremely hostile environment, a living hell or rather. If they didn’t find a new location to settle they would surely perish. They turned to the north and south of the Golden Plain in search of a new place to create a settlement. At long last after tirelessly searching for forty years, and with the guidance of the almighty Gods, the Humans found two separate locations to settle. That would be safe from the now hostile environment of the Golden Plain.
With each tragedy, new heroes arose to meet the challenge, and it was in this manner that the Human race survived.

To the north of the MagicLand, Leo began the Dynasty faction with Sky City as its capital. And to the south, Austin began the Empire faction with Sun City as its capital. Only time would tell the fates of the Human race.

Over time, the wide variation of environments and cultures had put a considerable distance between the two peoples’ hearts.

*Episode III War between Dynasty and Empire*

After hundreds of years, the Human race finally managed to complete the rebuilding of their homes in their new settlements. The Golden Plain had since returned to its former environmental state, and so things were looking up for the Human race.

It was not until the discovery of a rare and precious Magic Crystal-mine was discovered on the Golden Plain, a location between the two factions whose relationship was already strained at best, that their peaceful coexistence was broken. Huge failures in working out a system for dividing the resources led ultimately to violence between the two factions, when in the year 483 by the Empire Calendar, a herdsman discovered the lost Dominant Sword of Odin in the Golden Plain. With the power of this sword the peace between the Empire and the Dynasty was forever broken as Empire made efforts to invade Dynasty.

*Episode IV Nightmares*

Simultaneously, the ignorant misuse of the Dominant Sword by the Empire forces brought about another unexpected turn of events with disastrous consequences when the seal on the Dominant Sword was made falter and then cease to function, allowing the Devil Legions, still led by Lucifer, to be let out of Hell. Suffering from isolation had made the Death Legion so petty and vindictive. Their hostility was rather a ravage than a conquest. The overpowering smell of death which was created by Lucifer ran through the MagicLand very rapidly. All creatures became subject to him except for some remaining Humans.

*Episode V King’s Return*

Such is our history…It’s time we put aside the differences and prayed for a dream assembly of strong wills. When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Get Going. For the sake of this mothering MagicLand, let’s be tasked with driving the Devils and the evil spells whence they came. Nothing is impossible for a divine heart. Go out there and get going!
