The Red Team's Robe

The Blue Team's Robe

Basic Information

Lorna and Pan just can’t settle their differences. Instead of just spewing insults at each other all day long, however, they’ve decided to battle for supremacy in fierce rounds of Capture the Flag. Everyone knows the game Capture the Flag. Two teams, on opposite sides of a field, rush to grab and then capture the opposing team’s flag before the other team can do the same. That’s where you come in! First, you have to pick whether you want to support Lorna or Pan. You can find the two feuding friends south of Tracy's logging camp in Uladh.

But here’s the problem: There are hundreds of other players choosing sides as well! It will take teamwork to achieve victory, so you have to choose the role you want to play on the field. Will you run the flag for your team? Will you be the fiercest flag-returner in all of Erinn? Or will your throw competition to the wind and wreak destruction across the battlefield, hunting down any opposing team member you can find?

The Capture the Flag event will start at 3:00pm (PST) and last 30 minutes. After a half hour break, players will again be able to participate in the event at 4:00pm (PST). This cycle will continue until the last game is held at 9:00pm (PST).

Be aggressive in accomplishing certain feats as you play Capture the Flag. Special titles will be granted to those who do an outstanding job defending or capturing flags and prove themselves invaluable to the team of their choice.

You will have your final chance to capture the flag on November 24th!
