Combat Rankings

Imperian has a system of ranking player vs. player combatants. You are not, however, automatically in the system. You must first reach level 30, and then type JOIN COMBAT RANKINGS, to be put in the system.

It should be noted that anyone caught trying to manipulate or abuse the system in a way that is obviously unfair, will be permanently banned from it.

Commands

JOIN COMBAT RANKINGS

• Puts you into the combat rankings system. You are automatically assigned a rank of 1000.

COMBAT RANKINGS

• Shows the combat rankings list.

COMBAT STATUS <player>

• Shows the rating, win/loss record, and fight history of the player.

COMBAT CHALLENGE <player>

• This is how you challenge another player to a ranked fight. You must both be standing in an Arena Staging Grounds, and the other person must choose to accept. Note: the challenger and challengee do not necessarily need to be the same staging grounds. Each of you will be charged half the combat rating of the other person. You may not challenge anyone whose combat rating differs more than 400 either up or down from yours.

• Once a fight is initiated, you have 10 minutes to fight it out, or the fight is a draw.

• Once someone has won, each person's combat rating will be altered appropriately. Further, the winner will get 2/3 of the total gold paid by both participants to use the Arena.

For those who are interested, the formula used to rate people is:

NewRating = OldRating + (K * (W - (1/(10^(-Dr/200)+1))))

K: A variable.

• If you've had less than 20 fights, K is 50.
• If you've had more than 20 fights:
• If your rating < 2100 then K = 32
• If your rating >= 2100 and < 2400 then K = 24
• If your rating >= 2400 then K = 16

W: A variable.

• If you won, W = 1.
• If you lost, W = 0.
• If it was a draw, W = 0.5.

Dr: Difference in Rating. It is your rating minus your opponents'.
