Recently, we hosted our newest and one of the most hyped PvP events: Castle Siege. It was an intense showdown that shook the entire community, with the strongest and most well-organized guilds battling fiercely for dominance.

Throughout the event, several guilds stood out not just for their raw power, but for their teamwork, strategy, and competitive spirit on the battlefield.

That’s why we’re launching a brand-new interview series! A closer look at the guilds that made an impact: their stories, motivations, internal dynamics, and what truly lies behind every victory.

Interview – JESKO (Esquadrão Guild)

1. Introduction & Background

Epimeteu: To begin, could you introduce yourself and tell us a bit about the Esquadrão guild?
JESKO: Of course! My name is JESKO, and I’ve been the leader of the Esquadrão guild for about three months now. The guild was originally created in August 2024 by the account Ultred. The main idea behind its creation was to gather Brazilian players who genuinely enjoy playing GodsWar Online — people who play because they love the game, not just out of habit.
Since I became the leader, we’ve been focusing on keeping our community active and growing. Our primary goals include keeping PvP alive and competitive on the server, participating in as many events as we can, maintaining a healthy and fun environment for our members, and eventually becoming one of the top guilds on the server as a whole. Many of our members now have strong accounts, which lets them truly enjoy PvP, 1v1 battles, faction skirmishes, and events like SK and Mycenae.

2. Server Experience & Guild Performance

Epimeteu: How active do you think your guild is compared to the rest of the server?
JESKO: Honestly, I believe Esquadrão is currently one of the most active guilds in Sparta. We have a lot of players who participate daily in almost all available events — and I’m talking about real players, not people logging into two or three alts just to fill numbers.
One of our biggest challenges is bridging the gap between our regular and F2P players and the extremely strong accounts on the server. We have many F2P members who rely heavily on events like Consul and Pindus to keep progressing, because the rewards make a huge difference for them.
Epimeteu: Has the guild achieved any major victories recently?
JESKO: Absolutely — our biggest achievement was the most recent Castle Siege. It had been a long time since I felt genuinely excited about an event. As a guild, we discussed strategies, roles, positions, and possible scenarios for days. Even though I'm not one of the strongest accounts, everyone placed a lot of trust in me as a leader.
The teamwork was incredible. We even received help from players outside Brazil, like Manreza, who isn’t Brazilian but contributed massively to our coordination and success. It felt like a milestone for all of us.

3. Thoughts About the Game

Epimeteu: What do you personally enjoy the most about GodsWar?
JESKO: That’s a tough question because I honestly enjoy almost everything. I love the progression aspect of the game — watching my character grow day by day. Whether it’s forging equipment, gaining more suit points, improving my zodiac, or making my pet stronger, every small step feels rewarding.
I enjoy the variety of systems that all contribute to making characters unique and powerful. The satisfaction of logging in and knowing I can make progress in some area — even a small one — keeps me motivated.

4. Guild Relations & Server Dynamics

Epimeteu: How do you see the guild landscape on the Olympia server right now?
JESKO: The server has a mix of different types of guilds. Many are small groups of friends who play casually, while others — like Esquadrão — are more active and participate more competitively.
Our biggest rivals at the moment are the Legacy guild. They have many strong accounts, but from what I can tell, a lot of those accounts are controlled by just a few real players who manage multiple logins. That doesn’t make them any less strong, but it affects how active they seem from the outside.
We also have a sort of partnership with the China guild, so we don’t really consider them rivals.
Epimeteu: Do you think the game needs more cooperative content between factions?
JESKO: Definitely. I think the game would benefit immensely from a faction-based cooperative event — something big and impactful. Imagine both factions having to team up once a month to defeat a final boss like Zeus, or prevent Pandora’s Box from releasing a server-wide debuff that removes XP buffs for 15 days.
On the flip side, if we succeed, both factions could receive a global XP buff for 15 days. I think this would create excitement, unity, and competition all at once.

5. Future of the Game

Epimeteu: What improvements would you like to see in the game?
JESKO: My main expectations for the game are to maintain the current farming and reward system. I don’t think we need more instances; we already have Medusa, Atlantis, and Wonderland, which take quite a lot of time, and I believe these instances can be improved. Starting with them would be the best approach.
Instances (Atlantis, Medusa, Wonderland)
Atlantis and Medusa are repetitive and take too long. Suggestion: weekly versions with x7 rewards to reduce daily fatigue. Wonderland is good but needs better drop rates.
Quest System
New faction maps are great, but we need new quests for level 135+. A bonus for completing all daily quests would motivate players.
Pet System (Pet Island Concept)
Pet Island – A map dedicated entirely to pet progression. Each pet would have its own daily quest.
  • Kill 500 mobs → earn Pet Fragments
  • Exchange fragments for Jade or Skills:
  • 100 fragments → Jade (Panda, Ghost, etc.)
  • 150 fragments → Skill 2
  • 200 → Skill 3
  • 250 → Skill 4
  • 300 → Skill 5
  • 350 → Skill 6

Daily limit: 3 quests per day, each tied to a different pet. This would make pet-building accessible for everyone without destroying game balance.

Storage System
The Web Warehouse is not practical: logging out and back in repeatedly is frustrating. We need more in-game storage tabs (1, 2, 3, 4), just like modern MMOs.
Profession System
Too time-consuming in the current format. Suggestion: simplify or return to the old Romance Island style.
Item Stacking
More items should stack (e.g., SS7).
Suit Points & Item Tiers
Suit Points are one of the best reward systems in the game. It’s time to introduce Platinum items, and maybe even more tiers in the future.
Also, the NPC that converts Suit Points into XP has a serious issue: Level 130 → max 30m XP per day; Level 140 → also 30m. This needs scaling. Level 140 should receive something like 80m per day.
Nameplate System
Nameplate XP rewards do not scale properly: at level 121, using sets 1–6 gives 5,520,000 XP; at level 140, it gives the exact same amount. This system needs a level-based XP increase.

6. Final Thoughts

Epimeteu: Would you like to end with a final message?
JESKO: Yes. First of all, the dev is doing an excellent job with the game. Even while dealing with DDoS attacks, Victor is still making sure we can farm every day. The team creating the new maps is also doing an incredible job — seriously, they look amazing, way beyond what I expected. The constant updates make me want to play even more and get stronger each day. You all make an amazing team, and I hope I can help in some way with the suggestions I shared.
I truly hope my suggestions help the game continue improving. And to finish, I’d like to leave a challenge for the development team: What do you think about a Cross-Server Pindus?
If you need anything, feel free to contact me on Discord — I’m JESKOOOOO. A big hug from the entire Esquadrão guild.

Update Header

We are still finishing this week’s update, but we are ready to announce the maintenance date and time, as well as the full list of upcoming changes.

Maintenance Schedule

Saturday, 9:00 AM – 10:00 AM server time

You will receive an in-game notification 10 minutes before maintenance begins. A client update will be required.

The NPC who upgrades your mounts now allows you to extract Soul Stones from them. You can now reduce a mount’s level and receive the Soul Stones back.

2. Changes to the “Ni-Mini” Event

Rewards have been updated:

  • Winners now receive a Holy Box II with 1,000,000 EXP and 2,000,000 Pet EXP.
  • Losers now receive a box with 500,000 EXP and 1,000,000 Pet EXP.

We will monitor how these changes affect player interest and adjust if needed.

A new 5-part exploration questline has been added to Thebes. Completing it grants a Teleport to Thebes Skill Book.

6. Thebes Map Improvements

Thebes has been redesigned for better navigation. The areas for Siege, Frostheim, and Battle Pass now have dedicated zones, and key NPCs are protected from being blocked.

7. Castle Siege Updates

Several improvements were made:

  • The unintended wall teleport was removed.
  • Added a Siege Buff for all players entering the Throne Room, granting increased defense to GMs, Deputies, and guild members.
  • Teleporting into the Throne Room now places players at one of several random points.

We continue exploring the possibility of a Guild vs. All mode. Our goal is to at least remove friendly-fire from guild members by next siege.

Updated guide: Castle Siege Guide

8. Fifth Stat for Class 3 Items

The Gear Mentor NPC can now add a fifth stat to Class 3 equipment.

Important: Turning Class 3 items back into normal items removes the fifth stat permanently.

What’s Next?

We are now preparing the Christmas Update, which will include:

  • A festive mount
  • Holiday costumes
  • A special seasonal event
  • Increased EXP rates during the holidays
  • B-Gold giveaways and more

Battle Pass – Lords of the Castle

EN

Battle Pass 7 Banner

Friends, we are ready to tell you about the new update and the new Battle Pass season, which will start on December 1.

Maintenance will begin on December 1 at 10:00 AM server time and will last for 2 hours.

Once again, we remind you that Battle Pass coins will be reset at the start of the new season. Be sure to spend your coins before December 1.

We believe that any MMO project lives only thanks to its community, your social connections, and friendships. This update is primarily aimed at strengthening the role of guilds in the game.

Castle Siege – the main PvP event

The main PvP event of the game is now the Castle Siege. The guild that owns the castle can rightfully be considered the strongest on the server, because capturing the castle is not only about the power of the characters, but mostly about tactics and leadership.

Only a guild capable of coming up with an effective strategy, and a guild master capable of managing a large number of players, will be able to capture the castle and hold it until the end of the siege.

A detailed guide on the siege mechanics is available on our wiki page: https://wiki.godsarena.online/books/godsarena-godswar/page/castle-siege . At the same time, we would like to announce our new wiki: all guides from the website have now been moved there and updated. New guides will also appear on the wiki.

Siege schedule and Battle Pass rewards

The siege will take place weekly from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM server time on Sundays. All players can participate in the first phase of the siege, including members of attacking guilds, neutral guilds, and even players without a guild.

In the first phase of the siege, you must destroy the gate mechanisms and pass through three walls into the castle courtyard.

Each character who passes through the first line of walls will receive 500 Battle Pass coins, through the second line of walls 1000 Battle Pass coins, and through the third line of walls 1500 Battle Pass coins. Thus, by passing all three walls, a character receives 1500 coins.

Passing the gates is now also a permanent Battle Pass quest.

Castle ownership and special rewards

The guild that captures the castle will own it until the next siege. If during the next siege no other guild manages to capture the castle, the guild will continue to own it.

The main reward for the guild that owns the castle (besides confirming the fact that it is the strongest guild) is access to a special location where every 4 hours 20 dragons appear, giving special loot, Jevel of Guardian.

From these stones, in the castle forge, you can create special chests that give valuable rewards, including pet rebirth water.

We recommend that players carefully study the siege guide. Registration for the first siege will open immediately after maintenance ends and will last until 12:00 AM on Tuesday, which means you will have only 12 hours to register.

Sign of Lord and siege registration

An important aspect of participating in the siege during the week is collecting a special currency, Sign of Lord (SOL). The guild can earn this currency by participating in the Frostheim event.

All participating guilds receive SOL after the event ends, and the amount of SOL is equal to the number of enemies defeated on the battlefield.

Turn in SOL during the week to the Siege Manager NPC. On Sunday at 14:00 server time, only three guilds from among those registered for the siege and who turned in the most SOL will be included in the list of attackers and will be able to enter the castle Throne Hall.

Battle Pass rewards

Battle Pass 7 Rewards

The main reward of this Battle Pass season is the thematic mount Aerophant.

Aerophant Mount

Mount stats:

Aerophant Stats

The movement speed of the mount is similar to the Stratopteros mount.

Season duration and upcoming events

This season will last until February 28. In the second half of December, we will install the Christmas update and a special event in honor of Christmas and the New Year.

Thank you for staying with us and being part of the GodsWar Online community.
