King's RvR Tournament Ends

Posted by John Thornhill | 2016 Nov 01 00:20 -0400 GMT

Another epic King's RvR Tournament has come to an end! 

The final, official leaderboards will be up later this week after our investigations to ensure a clean tournament are complete. Any participants found cheating will be removed from tonight's leaderboards and disqualifed from winning the rewards.

Remember, realm winners of each category will receive a statue made out of their character's likeness in their realm's capital city!



 

Additionally, all characters who ended up in the top 10 per realm, in each category will be receiving a 15th Anniversary Poster (can only win 1 per person). Once the final, official leaderboards have been announced later this week, players who won a poster will be contacted via email requesting the address they would like the posters shipped to.

If you're currently in or near the top 10 in any category, please be sure to update your email addresses on those accounts so you don't miss the notification email from us!
