Arena First Look
When the first death match started, there was Valakas, a ton of monsters and drops in the arena. (Noone was allowed in, we just got to see). Valakas was killing everyone and he has learned a new spell, Firewall, which he was casting in many directions.

After some fun, they cleared the entire arena and began what I'll assume is how the death match will work. Remember, this is all assumption based on what we saw on US Test server (and some info from how it works on Korean Test server).

Basically, everyone gets in the arena and waves of monsters come one-at-a-time. For example, the first wave was giant ants. Approximately 20 giant ants appeared randomly throughout the arena. Presumably it is our job to slaughter the ants. Soon after, the second wave started: this time orc wizards.

The number of monsters per wave was between 10-20 (seemingly based on the strength of the monsters). I tried to get the sequence of spawns. It may have some order errors, but we won't have the official Lineage Compendium sequence until it comes to Live servers anyway. View this as a tenative preview:

Round 1: (remember, a group of 10 monsters spawned at a time, so it would be like 20 giant ants -- some time passes - 20 orc wizards -- some time passes, etc.)
giant ant, orc wizard, vakuuk, golem, skeleton archer, skeleton axeman, skeleton soldier, arachnevil, spartoi, rova orc, lizardman, crabman, lycanthrope, giant soldier ant, ratman, elder, bugbear, undead elmore soldier, undead elmore mage, undead elmore general, cerberus, scorpion, drops (whetstones, 3k adena, cyan potions, 3 clears, oranges, blank scrolls)

Note that at the end of what I am calling "a round", the arena just randomly distributed piles of drops to the arena. For example, one pile may be 3000 adena, another may be 5 cyans, another pile may be 3000 more adena.

Then, once all the monsters were killed, Round 2 began:

Round 2:
black knight, kurtz, bomb flower, skeleton fighter, snow tiger, ogre, troll, dark elf, fire warrior, king bugbear, muryans, yeti, living armor, salamander, drops (5k adena, cyan potions, 5 clears, oranges, blank scrolls)

And finally, if you're still alive:

Round 3:
ghast lord, dark elder, astagio, ettin, lava golem, iron golem, succubus, taurverus, cyclops, drops (whetstones, 10k adena, cyan potions, 10 clears, 20 oranges, blank scrolls)

Screenshots coming soon! and more details as we learn em. ;)

so are the drops u mentioned the one after they were all killed and the players get the normal drops they would recive from the monsters? if they dont get the normal drops it kinda seems renobish :) sept maybe to see just how good you really are :) but for 1k ticket and 10k gets droped sounds like easy money

brandon - looks like a permanent part of the game

GovernMent - the random drops appear at the end of a "round". So, you'd have to survive all those monsters in order to get those drops from the ground. Also, monsters do drop their normal items, so you could earn lots of cash.

Also don't forget that once you leave the arena, you can't come back in.

i don't think that a single pledge can own all these mops alone, or they all have to be very well equiiped very very high lvl

It sounds like you can take them on if you have really good teamwork. B2S water elves can supply an infinite amount of mp to mages and they could really go on forever healing knights.

Teamwork and a good mix of classes probably even with prince(ss). *waves hand* Come on Marak you're with me!!!

The first wave doesn't sound too challenging providing you aren't the poor sucker who gets first hit in then gets mobbed. (I wonder does COI still work?) I suppose if this is a pledge type event then the higher level your pledgemates are the more safer it would be. The thing to remember are the rationing of your potions cause if you run out then you are finished before the final waves which would be the biggest challenge. If you are able to get 10 ppl better have at least 4 healers and the rest fighters. I would think that the experience should be incredible if you survive all three rounds.

Too bad elven summons aren't in the game yet.
