$1 Million RYL Tournament Begins July 1st

Posted on June 29, 2005

RYL: Path of the Emperor is offering a $1,000,000 Grand Prize to the winner of a player vs. player skill-Based tournament. The RYL qualifying tournament will start July 1, 2005 and will end April 30, 2006, culminating in a RYL: Path of the Emperor Final Tournament event to be broadcast live and to take place in conjunction with the E3 Video Game Expo in May 2006.

It will be interesting to see how the contest drives subscription sales for RYL. RYL charges a $12.95 monthly fee to play the game. There is no extra charge to participate in the tournament.

RYL players start off at Level 1, with minimal skills and abilities, but over time they gain experience points, through achievement, which allows them to advance to Level 2, and beyond. As RYL players advance to each level they discover new and stronger skills, which assist them in their ability to try and survive during all encompassing battles against powerful monsters. In the game, players can choose from 20 character classes and assume the role of a Warrior, Cleric, Mage, and Assassin and then explore the RYL terrain and virtual real estate. Players can take part in specific quests and missions, fight monsters and other players, battle in Guild vs. Guild duels, buy, sell and trade virtual merchandise, build fortresses and raise their own virtual Dragon.
