The combat rankings has undergone a rework. Here are the quick points, and you can read HELP COMBAT RANKINGS for full details!

- You now COMBAT QUEUE JOIN. Every five minutes, two people at random are chosen from the queue to fight (favouring higher ranked targets than yourself among some other things).

- When people are matched, they are immediately teleported to the special combat rankings arena if certain criteria aren't met:
* You aren't in the Underworld or similar.
* You're not on aggression cooldown.
* You can be teleported if on aggression if in your home city while not under a sanctioned raid.

- When you win or lose, you'll be returned to where you were pulled into the arena from.

It is our hope that this makes the system less gamable, and harder to duck fights with people that you feel might be able to get one over on you - as these are typically the fights which should be deciding the seasons winner!

Enjoy!
