    Rank and Reputation
    When you first log-in you may finds that your rank is down to private. This is because the reputation requirements to move up in Rank have increased significantly you need to rank up again. All the reputation that you previously used is still there. The daily salary has also increased. In addition, the heroes that are unlocked with each rank can now be purchased with coins. You do that on the same window that you collect your daily salary. You will also find that there are new ranks at the top with new heroes that unlock when you reach them.

    Ragnarok (Rag)
    This is a daily server wide event that starts at 6 PM and lasts for 50 rounds. Each round last one minute. You need to enter the event by clicking on the icon that is displayed on as the right most icon on the 2nd row of icons. That opens up a window and you must click on Fight to participate. The players are randomly paired for each fight and the damage that a player sustains on a fight carries over to the next fight. Players that die start the next fight at full power. Any formation changes that you make once will not go into effect until the next time you die. The rewards are small and they consist of Reputation and Credits and are based on the number of battles that you win with the amount gained from each battle increasing as long as you stay alive. Once you die it starts again at the lowest amount. You can boost if you want but it is not generally cost effective in terms of the amount of credits that you gain, but you may want to do so because of the reputation gains. The final placement of the players in the event does not affect the gains.

    If you do not want to sit there and see the fighting, you can close the Rag window and you are still participating. If you do so you can do anything else in the game without the fight scenes interrupting you. If you get disconnected or refresh you must re-enter the even, by clicking on the icon and then on Fight.

    Heaven Palace (HP)
    This is a weekend event that start at midnight on Friday night and end at midnight on Sunday night. It is a place where players can fight each other (like the wilds but on most servers it is frowned on is you do it) and fight the 'statues' There are 10 statues and they are the top two rank players in each Realm Arena (I do not know how it works in the servers that have only 3 realms). The formation and equipment of the statues is captured on Friday (the timing is really tricky) and remains in place throughout the weekend.

    There are 10 levels in the palace. The statues in the first level have their power significantly reduced from what the players had when the formation was captured, and the power increases with each level. The power of the statues on the highest level is significantly higher that what was captured. You fight the statues just like you fight other players. You get credits for each statue that you beat with the amount increasing as you beat the statues. When you beat all the statues on a level you bet to 'pick a card' and receive rewards. The value of the available rewards increase as you move up in level and they include Heroes cards. After picking the card you move to the next level by entering the portal.

    You can boost in HP and, unlike in other places, you can boot to 100% using credits only (no Gems).

    Championship Warfare (CWF)
    This is a cross server event. It happens every other week and starts at 9 PM on Tuesday. You must sign up for it on Monday (not sure of the exact times). When you sign you you get 2000 Tickets that can be used to buy items in the CWF shop. Once you have signed up you do not have to be logged on to participate in the fights. The first two days (Tuesday and Wednesday) are the preliminary rounds. There are 8 rounds each day consisting of three battles each. The player that wins the most battles wins the round. Players from all servers that have signed are paired up (the method of pairing up is not really known and it may be random) are paired up for each round and the results of each round does not affect the pairing for the next round. You get 200 tickets for each battle (not round) that you win and 100 tickets for battle you loose. You also get 1 point for each win. You can increase the amount that you get by 'betting' using Gems (not recommended at this stage because it is not cost effective).

    At the end of the preliminary rounds the 512 players with the most points go into the elimination rounds (no one knows how they pick who us picked when the are more players with the same amount points that will fit into the elimination rounds. In the elimination rounds the players are paired up (no one knows how the pairing is done but it is definitively not by seeding) and the looser of each round is eliminated. The number of fights on each round start at five and increase (but not on each round) until the championship round where there are 11 battles. The number of tickets that the winner and the looser gets also increases as the the the elimination progresses. Players that are not fighting can bet on the fights. The fight that you can bet on is randomly determined for the first round and after that you follow the winner of that round. You do not loose anything id you loose the bet. The amount of tickets you get for a win is at least 1/2 the number that the winner of the fight gets but it is determined by the number of players betting on each fighter. If the 'underdog, wins, you get more tickets. You can also get some tickets if you bet on the looser. I am not sure how that is calculated. The elimination rounds are held on Thursday and Friday with the Final on Saturday.

    You can change your formation before each fight but the formation freezes one minute before each fight. The Heroes' equipment and runes is set using the game mechanics (outside of CWF) but the actual formation is set up inside of CWF and does not change (including the equipment and runes that were selected) unless you change formations inside of CWF (formation, equipment and Rune changes outside of CWF, as well as adding Saints or Stars stars to a hero do not affect the CWF formation unless you change formations inside of CWF and load the formation). Within a round, the looser of each fight gets a 5% increase in defense and offense and this accumulated from fight to fight.

    The players that make it into the quarter final get additional rewards that increase depending on how the player places in the tournament. These rewards include Spirit plans, Chips (the ones that you embed on equipment) and cards for special heroes.

    Guild Warfare (GW)
    The mechanics of GW have not changed, but it now starts at 7 PM and the way the individual battles are resolved has. The changes are confusing (at least to me) but in general favor the looser of each fight. There is also a 'penalty' for Guilds that already hold cites that increases with the number of cities they hold.
