Battlegrounds

Battlegrounds are a capture the flag style, pvp game mode where two teams fight to earn points by capturing flags and defeating other players. Battlegrounds can be played from 1 vs 1 up to 10 vs 10 depending on the amount of players queuing for them. The battleground ends when the first team reaches 500 points.
There are currently two Battlegrounds in Otherland, the desert themed Mars Oasis and the 8Squared themed Battle 91.
Upon entering the Battlegrounds, players are placed onto either the Red of Blue team, teams will be randomly assigned by the game unless the player is in a party beforehand. 
Each Battleground has 3 capture points, one closest to the Blue Team, one in the middle of the two teams and one closest to the Red Team. The aim of this game mode is to earn points by capturing and holding flags for as long as possible. Points can also be earned by killing players. 
(More Research is needed for this wiki page into how many points you get per second of holding a flag, per player kill and per flag captured)
At any point during a fight, players can press 'T' to bring up the group finder. Whilst in a match this will show you the score for the current battle, how long it's been running and how many Kills, Deaths, Captures and Recaptures each player on each team has. 
The current overall score for the team is seen in Red/Blue to the right of the team name. 
A quote from Mercus from the Otherland team that was posted on the Steam community about the matchmaking algorithms is below,as it gives a little more insight into how the battlegrounds work in regards to matching players with level differences in the gamemode.Ok, by design the level brackets should be:Level 10-19Level 20-29Level 30-39Level 40-49Level 50-59And the game should attempt to make 10v10 if possible with fairly balanced class makeup, but will loosen the class restriction over some time if none can be found, as well as reduce the numbers needed to start the battleground.
