Thank you for the answers!

Okay, so I'm back to being confused about the altars. The publish notes say, "•At the beginning of each battle three altars will spawn within the City" but you're saying only one is active at a time. So I guess the arrow that is supposed to pop up is going to show you which altar is active?? Is there any other way to tell? And what's the point then of having three altars spawn if only one is going to be used? Is there some way for players to change which altar is active or is that predetermined by the game itself?

Kyronix: Altars are randomly activated, provides a other dynamic to the match and gets players moving around.

What do you mean by getting points by "citywide occupation"? Is that literrally getting points for whichever guild has the most VvV members in the city during a battle or at the end of the battle or something?

Kyronix: If you are the only guild in the city, you get occupation points, numbers of guild members are irrelevant

Is there going to be some new artwork related to "vice" or the "anti-virtues" (for lack of knowing what else to call it)?

Kyronix: Yes.

With regard to that message at log-in and when a battle starts, does it tell you the city for the battle?

Kyronix: Yes.

And when a city is involved in a battle, is it just the "guard zone" area for that city that is blocked for recalls/gating or is it a smaller area within the city? This would be helpful to know so people who want to join the system will know where to mark new runes for accessing cities during battles.

Kyronix: It's the entire guard zone.

If you're in a city when a battle is getting ready to start but you're not in VvV are you going to get any kind of message to notify you the guard zone is gone and recalls into the town are blocked?

Kyronix: Yes. If you stick around you will be open to attack. We are still evaluating how to implement this on Siege.

Edited to add: Is there a predetermined rotation for the cities becoming battle grounds or is it going to be utterly random?

Kyronix: A list of random order is generated, after each city has had a battle it resets.
