Read below for all of the information about Team Fort and its return!

~By Popular Demand, Team Fort Returns~

Over the next few days, Mod Rapps and I will be redesigning the actual Fort Landscape, according to input he gathers from players.

Rules within Fort remain almost as they were in the past. 
The only changes are:

1) There is a 2 IP limit.  This will be done on a trial basis. If it is met with positive feedback, it will remain.
2) Kill loot will again drop to the ground.
3) Capture time has been reduced to 30 seconds
4) Command to view the bank has changed to ::fortbank

• Team Fort is a "castle" at wilderness level 35 near the altar.
• The XP rate multiplier at team fort is 1.5x.
• This is a 2 character per IP zone. If you bypass our protection to abuse this, you will be punished.
• If you kill another player while inside Fort, the items they drop will drop to the ground to be looted.
• Fort Bank will transfer to the Team Bank of the current holding team after 30 minutes has passed.
• You can check to see Fort Bank's contents in game by typing ::fortbank.

Fort Bank
A bank specifically designed for fort, you can only deposit items to it and all NPC drops and resources obtained inside fort go there automatically.
(PK kill drops do NOT go into fort bank)

• Items inside the fort bank will be transferred to your team bank each half hour. If another team takes control while your teams's timer is at 15 minutes, the new team's timer will start at 30 minutes. If your team re-captures, your timer will still be at 15 minutes. However, all team's timers reset to 30 minutes again after the bank transfers.
• You have to keep the fort in control for a half hour after capturing it to get the items to transfer to your team's bank (accessible by any banker).
• Team banks are limited in size unless you purchase more space from the Team Vendor in Edge. A team's bank will start out with 30 spaces and the Team Vendor will sell you increments of 30 more spaces for 3,000,000 coins each.
• Whichever team keeps control of the fort bank for a half hour will get these items transferred, even if the items inside were deposited there by another team.

The bank chest on the left is for your personal banking needs.  The chest on the right is the actual fort bank.

Taking Control
To take control of the fort you will have to enter the bank area and capture the fort bank chest. Once you have clicked on the chest, it takes 30 seconds uninterrupted to capture. You must remain in place until capture is completed or the capture will fail. Any opposing team member can interrupt this by triggering the chest.
_{For example; Team A controls fort currently, Team B comes in and kills Team A. Team B triggers the chest capture countdown, if nobody interrupts then Team B will get control of the fort.}

Rules:

Deadman mode is hosted with a philosophy that Deadmen must be self sufficient, gather their own resources and always risk their own hard work. For that reason this season we will be implementing strict rules and will be monitoring deadmen related logs for any suspicious activity. This is also involved alternative character.;

- Trading items is disabled and not allowed;
- Selling items in auction house at low prices to make a trade is not allowed;
- Using mules to hold or transfer items is not allowed;
- Swapping items between regular game mode and DMM is not allowed, game moderators can only transfer you subscription cards;
- Trying to gain any wealth in a way that obviously show an attempt to transfer items between chars will be taken as a bannable offense as well. If there are any questionable situations, staff reserves the right to discuss the situation internally and take appropriate action against offenders.

If you find that being self sufficient is not your cup of tea, please do not complain or play DMM trying to break the rules, just skip this particular activity and enjoy the regular game mode. There will be other DMM seasons in the future and the rules may be different, but for this event, these are the rules. Breaking of any DMM rules will result in a ban of all parties involved, ban will count as a ban on regular game mode and may move you towards a list ban if you've been banned in the past.

End game and prizes:

The last day of this season When will be the last day you will be able to use these characters as Deadmen.
If you die on the last day, between Remove?T, your character will be banned until the end of the season.
