Monday’s are hellish. I’m sure if any of you are working for Marketing or Sales departments, you’d feel the same. There are tons of reports to do. Anyway, I was able to get the RWC Tournament mechanics from Gravity. The most noticeable difference is that this time around it’s only 7 on 7 and not the traditional 9 on 9. They’ve also limited the tournament to transcendent class characters only which means that there will be no soul linkers in play. I’d like to clarify that these rules will apply only to RWC and will not be necessarily the rules for RPC come Level-up LIVE.
