Game Mechanics

Engaging In Combat

Fighting creatures, bandits, other players, or anyone that you consider an enemy is an integral part of adventuring. Players are considered to be in-combat so long both player and target have a line of sight to the other and any of the following are also occuring:

• Are continually attacking a target
• Are being attacked by an npc, player or creature
• An npc/creature has activated aggression (in pursuit) towards the player.
• Player issues nn /assist command on a player or friendly pet that is currently in combat with an npc, creature or player

A player may engage in combat on a target by clicking on the target or tabbing and then selecting the radial menu for that target and hitting the Attack radial option or alternatively they may issue the /combatAttack command while maintaining the target or simply double click on the target while within weapon range.

Disengaging from combat

The Peace Command:

Using the peace command will clear all currently queued commands and the player will cease attacking. Once issued the player will stop attacking although the target wont necessarily stop combat. Peace will essentially return the player to their state prior to entering combat and the player will respond to attacks made against them with using default attacks. The /peace command will not stop commands that are already in process of being executed however. Peace will also not work if the player is in the Berserk state.

Players become disengaged from combat if the player has initiated the Peace command and the following conditions have met:

• 1. Npc/creature stops attacking player or switches to another target.
• 2. Enemy player ceases attacking the player.
• 3. Player ceases attacking an enemy target (uses peace or changes targets).

Several examples will illustrate this.

Example 1.

Player attacks an npc then runs to escape from it. The player initiates the /peace command and stops attacking back. The npc remains in pursuit for a while longer and then halts the chase and returns back. The player is now out of combat.

Example 2.

Player attacks another player. The defending player doesn't respond back. The attacking player now initiates peace. Both players are now out of combat.

Combat may also be disengaged if any of the following events occur:

• Player moves to 150 meters or farther from the hostile creature/npc.

• Combat ensues for a given period of time where neither the creature/npc or player attack one another (presumably after 60 seconds)

• Player or Target becomes incapacitated
• Player or Target dies
