	===Skillgain ~~Changes=~~==		==Skillgain==

	~~On Siege Perilous, there~~ have been changes to character development in order to balance the ruleset. Characters are limited to one account with only one character, and as a result, the rate of skill and stat gain must also be limited to inhibit players from quickly changing their builds using macros. The underlying point of Siege's "Return over Time" system is to level the playing field so that the players ability to play the game matters more than their ability to develop their character. With this system, you can only gain a certain amount of skill points per day in skills over 70, and there is a 20 minute cooldown between gains that rises as skills get to 80 and 90. Plus you can only gain 6 total statistic points per day. For example, 1 strength, 2 dexterity and 3 intelligence.		There have been changes to character development in order to balance the ruleset.

			=Take Back Sosaria Event=

			''"An evil swarm of wretched gargoyles swooped in during the night and captured the various cities and towns.''
			''We have secured Britain, but the rest of our world has been completely overrun.''
			''I pray thee, citizens of Britannia, come join the war effort to defeat this evil presence and Take Back Sosaria!!"''

			- Errol Pantzike, First Lieutenant, Militia <br>
			<br>

			Siege Perilous will launch with an event underway called '''“Taking Back Sosaria.”'''

			The Taking Back Sosaria (TBS) event accomplishes two primary goals; 1. To shrink the usable map without introducing a custom map, and 2., provide the player base with a fun and enjoyable initial experience that encourages teamwork.

			An army of wretched gargoyles have descended upon the land of Britannia. They have decided that there is no room for humans in the world. Currently, they enjoy ownership of all cities and towns, save for Britain which is still under the control of Lord British. Venturing to these captured towns as a lone individual is both difficult and treacherous.

			'''Tips, Tricks, and Strategies:''' While these creatures are formidable, they are not without their weakness. The gargoyle guardians first appeared in zones within the cities. We have learned that if you take out a zone, the gargoyles do not return. This was the tactic we used for Britain. So, the strategy is to recapture cities zone by zone. We have further learned that these zones seem to run north to south. So, attacking from the east or west works best, then work your self N/S to capture the zone. Cities seemed to be split into maybe four or so zones. So a smaller city will have smaller zones.
			Your character will receive feedback in the form (N of M kills) for zone XYZ. If you take too long to capture a zone back, the guardians will respawn and you will then need to start over. It's important to team up as you don't want your hard work to go to waste!he guardians will respawn and you’ll need to start over.

			'''Suggested Initial Strategy:''' Since Britain is clear of these loathsome creatures, I recommend staying close to Britain initially, then banding together to take back the other cities as you gain a foothold back into this cursed realm.
			Target each City and Town, one by one, until they have been taken back from the claws of the detestable gargoyle race.
			It may be wise to take back interesting and/or important zones within the cities that may also be captured, for instance around banks, forges and such valuable resources.</p>
