Main / PVP / Challenging a ruler


To challenge a ruler:

Players vote at the center of the duel ring to challenge a king.

  • 10 premium players must vote to challenge a king and start the process.


When a king is challenged they have 1 week to accept or decline it.

  • If the king declines it adds to their declined counter, once that has hit 3 they will be able to be voted out.
  • If a king accepts it they must set a time from then for the challenge with the following options
    • Pick amount of days(2,3,4,5,6)
    • Pick amount of hours(0,3,6,9,12,15,18,21)


Once accepted the challenge is set in that many days and hours from the current time.

When the time comes the king must be within the ring when the countdown ends, you can examine the duel stone to see how long this will be in as well as the declined counter.

If the king is killed or leaves the zone during the 30 minutes that the challenge will last, they have lost and may be voted out.

Declining or losing the challenge:

If declined 3 times, or leaving/dying inside the duel ring during the challenge you may now vote the king out.

  • Works the same way as challenging, 10 premium players must use the vote out option on the duel stone to forcefully eject the king from his role.

If you fail to win the challenge the king is safe from further challenges for 2 weeks.

A challenge lasts 1 week, the king has this week to accept or decline the challenge. A king may be challenged every 7 days from the last challenge(aka when his time to decide on the last one has expired, the timer expiring counts as failing the challenge and you may be voted out without 3 declines)


After the fight begins, you cannot leave the ring before you pass or you will fail the challenge. There is a 1-10 second grace period for leaving the zone, this is somewhat random so bad luck can cause a fast failure when walking out.

Passing the challenge:

If you stay in the dueling ring and have not died for 30 minutes, you should pass the challenge and get this message:

"<king name> passed the challenge put forth by the people of <kingdom name>"


It is VERY important that you stay within the dueling ring until you recieve the message saying you pass the challenge.
