Addison Kang, former producer of Dragon Nest SEA, now the vice president of Ragnarok M Eternal Love shares some insight into the game with his question and answer from the dev team.
Ragnarok M: Eternal Love is an in-depth mobile game, steep in its lore. Can you share more about the background of the new Holy Ground War mode?
“The Holy Ground War is set in the country of Lakh, split by two factions Hawk (freedom advocators) and Doves (peace advocators). These two factions are often in conflict with each other.”, dev answered.
What went on in the team’s mind when creating this new mode?
“Our original intention is to introduce a new way of fighting, one which reduces the reliance on players’ own equipment. Instead, they must now work together and focus on skills and strategies. This allows more players to participate and enjoy the fun.”, the dev said.
Holy Ground War is a new season-based matching and racing PvP gameplay. Both sides will form a team of 12 people. The game will be launched in the new map “Holy Ground War”. The map contains a variety of mechanisms.
Both sides will kill and compete for resources to attack the opponent’s crystal. The outcome is decided based on the crystal’s HP.
Holy Ground War (Casual Mode & Season Mode)
Rules of gameplay, after entering the instance, the team will be randomly assigned to Hawk or Dove. Each faction has defense towers, barracks, bases, shops, one offensive route and one defensive route.
The defensive route has three defense towers, and the offensive route has a siege cart that can cause a lot of damage to buildings. The siege cart requires an ally nearby to move it forward, so the team must cooperate to push the siege cart and break through the opponent’s base to attain victory.
The defensive route’s breaking order is [Outer Tower] – [Central Tower] – [Inner Tower] – [Base].

- Portal – Adventurers can quickly teleport to the corresponding route by tapping on the portal on the offensive or defensive route; (the offensive route requires destroying the enemy’s Defense Tower to be activated)
