Smilegate announced on November 2 that it has added the weekly content 'Server Competition' to its MMORPG Eclipse: The Awakening. Depending on the final results, tiered buffs will be granted to all players on the top three servers for seven days.
The reward buffs increase metrics such as gold acquisition rate and combat stats. Participation and individual rewards will also be given to guilds that accumulate a certain threshold of Guild Mission Points during the preliminary round.
Two preseason periods will run prior to the official season. The first will run until November 8, and the second from November 16 to November 22. Smilegate plans to gather player feedback during the preseason to enhance the polish of the official season.
'Server Competition' is content in which any player belonging to a guild can participate to compete against other servers within their matching group. In the weekday preliminary round, guild rankings within a server are determined by daily mission scores. Afterwards, the top three guilds from the preliminary round on the same server hold a selection match to choose the representative guild. In the finals, the representative guilds of three servers within the matching group face off for the championship.
Both the selection match and the finals will take place on Saturday, starting at 10:00 PM and 10:30 PM, respectively. Because weekday mission scores accumulated during the preliminary round are also reflected in the final results, regular guilds alongside representative guilds can contribute to their server's final score by participating in missions.
Jae-ik Shin, Executive Director at Smilegate, said, "Server Competition is content designed so that the participation of all guild members, not just representative guilds, contributes to their server's victory," adding, "We hope players enjoy showcasing the growth they have built together with their guild members and uniting their efforts for the honor of their server."
