Currently, there are 3 main battle scenarios, but there are many adaptions of them implemented in the battle service. Free For All
The Free For All (FFA) offers participants a no-holds-barred battle to the end, where the last participant left alive is declared the winner. In some scenarios, the last two participants may trigger sudden-death mode, which will bombard the battle arena with devastating weather effects, dealing enough damage to turn up the heat! Team Vs Team
Team Vs Team (TvT) battle scenarios can range from 1v1 duels, 2v2 skirmishes and even 10v10v10!
The winner of a TvT is usually decided by the last team left alive, though there are many other ways to decide the outcome. Capture The Flag
Capture The flag (CTF) is a special variant of the TvT scenario in which multiple teams compete to, you guessed it, capture a flag. CTF battles can often be intense, they require focus and special tactics, you have to think outside the box. The winner of a CTF is usually decided by the team that reaches the maximum capture goal set out by the battle. Tournaments
There is a ranked PvP tournament every hour. The tournament features a last-man-standing scenario with tournament-style staged elimination. To join the tournament, simply use the [DailyPvP comand when the tornament is announced in global chat. Duels

Sometimes even evil bosses like to take a vacation, it just so happens that in Pandora, their vacation consists of leaving their dungeon to destroy the world! Upon the rare chance that you encounter a world boss, you'd better be prepared to fight or flight, because things could get ugly. Houses
