Campaigns
The objective of a Campaign is to take over the zones and capital city of the opposite realm.
Between the opposing zones in each tier, there is a unique battlefront. Initially, the battlefront divides the tier evenly between the two realms, but as victory points are gained by each side through RvR gameplay, the battlefront shifts depending on who is winning the most victory points. Earn enough victory points, and your realm will gain control of that battlefront. A percentage of victory points from tier 1 spill over into tier 2. Likewise, a percentage of victory points from tier 2 spill over into tier 3, and from tier 3 into tier 4, so your victory points gained in lower tiers increase your points in upper tiers. Even low level players in tier 1 will ultimately be contributing to the overall war effort.
Tier 4 is where each realm will struggle for the ultimate prize - capturing the capital city of an opposing army. Tier 4 is the final battlefront. To open a capital city to attack you will first have to capture the neutral zone in the centre. Once you have enough victory points to control that zone, its scenarios will lock down, and scenarios in your enemy's tier 4 zone will open up, allowing your realm to attack that zone. If your enemies then gain victories of their own they can push the front back to the neutral zone and potentially open up your own tier 4 zone to attack. This makes tier 4 a constant struggle for the battlefront.
If you gain enough victory points to control the enemy's tier 4 zone, the enemy capital city itself will become open to attack, opening up a new range of scenarios inside that city's zone, detailing the attacks on the stronghold. If that attack is successful then the controlling realm will be able to (temporarily) conquer and ransack most of the enemy capital. Burning, looting and special NPC encounters are sure to follow. You will not be able to hold onto your enemy city indefinitely. Systems will be in place that will eventually wrest control of the city back to the rightful owners. When this happens, the campaign will begin again.
