Revision as of 04:02, 19 February 2011
A warfront is an instanced PvP area for which people can queue to fight other players. There will be at least 7 different Warfronts maps.
- Warfronts will be cross-realm.[1]

Warfronts
Black Garden
Maximum team size: 10
Minimum player level: 10
Victory condition: Collect 500 points (by holding the Fang of Regulos or killing players) within 20 minutes
When Telara’s defenders destroyed Regulos’s body, they sealed his Fang in a shrine at Black Garden to keep it out of the hands of cultists. Both Defiant and Guardians feel they should take exclusive ownership of the Fang, as the other faction is clearly unfit to safeguard such a dire relic.
Both factions must race to seize the Fang of Regulos, but the relic itself has a malign twist: the longer a combatant holds the Fang, the more it erodes his body and soul, dealing damage that increases over time to become nearly unbearable. This makes the carrier easy prey for his enemies, but each side gathers points the longer they hold the Fang. The side with the most points within twenty minutes wins the battle. This is a Martyrdom[2] mode map.
The Codex
Maximum team size: 15
Minimum player level: 20
Victory condition: Collect 1,000 points by holding vital positions, or the most points in 20 minutes
The monks of Thontic have long guarded ruins where the powerful and dangerous mysteries of the Eth are buried. The Defiant were thrilled when one of their archaeological digs uncovered archives that held one of the most powerful of these secrets. Yet before they could extract and utilize the material, the silent monks alerted their Guardian allies, who attacked immediately.
Now, opposing forces struggle to control the dig site by posting the most guards at several important tactical locations. While the central Codex itself is worth the most points, the Vault, the Statue of Thontic near the Guardian camp, and the Translation Scope close to the Defiant position are also worth taking.[3]
Sunbreaker Cliffs[4]
Whitefall Steppes[4]
Whitefall Steppes is a capture the flag (CTF) mode map.[5] At first glance, the Winterfall Steppes map looks like it might be PvPvE - an Air Rift, which usually spawns NPCs, floats in the middle of the battlefield. But in this case the rift is strictly cosmetic, and the map sticks to standard capture the flag gameplay.[6]
The Battle for Port Scion
The Battle for Port Scion is a conquest mode map. Players are fighting other players alongside doing PvE objectives. Players are fighting members of the Endless Court. They are completing quests to launch their own invasions and it has a lot of potential for players that enjoy PvP and PvE.[7]
