The Magus Cup was the first Althanas tournament held exclusively for newer players. Named after Althanas legend Dark Magus, the tournament places level 2 and below players against each other in traditional one on one combat. This year we expand on that concept by introducing the new players to the veteran ones to truly find out which generation has the best writers.

Number of Players Allowed: 30 (15 each bracket)

Registration begins: NOW!

Basic Rules:

  • There will be two brackets, one for new players and one for the veterans. Whether one is "new" or a "veteran" will be determined primarily by his join date and secondarily by his level. The join date cut off is January 1st, 2008, but if that person's character is over level 3, the tournament staff reserves the right to "bump" him to the "veteran" bracket or vice versa (for older players with low leveled characters)
  • To register, please post the word "Registered" as a response to the Registration Thread, found here. Please include your join date and level as a reference. You can find your registration date by viewing your profile and clicking the "statistics" tab.
  • Registration will last one week or until all 30 spots are filled. Please note that new secondary characters are allowed to participate, but the staff reserves the right to "bump" characters of veteran players to the "veteran" bracket.
  • Standard Althanas battle rules apply, including the 10 post requirement. Battles under 10 posts will not be judged and awards will not be given (though a winning player will be selected). Extended absences will also result in the loss of points.
  • The player with the highest score advances to the next round.
  • Match-ups will be determined randomly at the beginning of the tournament.
  • The first player to post will determine the setting for the battle.
  • Each battle will last two weeks.
  • There will also be special battles held throughout the tournament, evidenced by the lack of a perfect square for participation.
  • In the final round, the winner of each bracket will duel for the championship. The losing semi-finalists will battle for third place.


Rewards: The winner receives 5000 EXP, the second place finisher will earn 2500 EXP and third place finisher will receive 1250 EXP.
