Duels


ueling other players can be a fun diversion, a contest of skills or to settle a score, and even test abilities and tactics in PvP combat.

To start a duel, select the player you wish to duel. Right-click on the player's portrait and select "duel". Alternately, you can select someone and type "/duel" with that player selected or type "/duel playername". A battle flag will be placed near you indicating that a challenge has been issued and a duel might begin. The person you challenged must accept the duel or you will not be able to attack them. There is a short countdown before a duel starts. Watch the color of their character's name, as it will turn red when the duel has begun. A sound will also play when a duel begins. The first player to reduce their opponent's health to 1 hit point (players do not fight to the death in duels) is the winner.

The duel's result will be broadcast to the zone the duel took place in. If you try to run too far away from the other player after starting a duel a special box will pop up letting you know you're about to exit the dueling area and thereby forfeit. If you forfeit, a message of your cowardice will be broadcast to the region.
