Bounty Bay Online is giving players a chance to sink, blast, maim, kill, and destroy their opponents with a new PvP tournament system. Available in the 4th Quarter of 2009, this new feature will allow combat of 2v2 or 5v5 to engage in that brutal virtual combat sport we call PvP. Two new areas are also being added for the players to soak with blood.

Thanks to a new tournament system Bounty Bay Online players will be able to go up against one another in various combat modes from Q4 2009. Whether in a nail-biting one-on-one, or a thrilling group encounter in 2vs2 or 5vs5 mode, the coming 'Beyond the Horizon' expansion will let plucky players measure themselves against their peers in both land and sea combat.

Two new arenas will be opening their gates as venues for the tournaments. The land combat arena with its Asiatic look and the deceptively picturesque bay which forms the new sea combat arena, will invite belligerent players from all over the seafarer world to take on all comers. There will be four NPC's at the harbour in Athens who will accept players' registrations for the weekly tournaments within a defined signing up period. During the registration players will also select between individual or group combat and decide on either the land or sea combat arena as their tournament showplace. Respective opponents will be drawn on a random basis. The best participants will compete over three rounds towards a final where highly desirable in-game prizes beckon. A detailed ranking system will provide continuous information about the outcomes of the conflicts; number of knockouts, match timings, listings of the best teams or individual combatants.
