[Update] Runatorium

[TheAlmighty 1,116]

Runatorium is a circular arena, that in the past was used by the Danuar as the main place of entertainment. Bloody battles with horrendous monsters were held here in ancient times. Beritra's scouts have found here a certain powerful monster, with the body  spoiled by the ide. The Elyos and Asmodians were instructed to get information about the infected arena in order to understand why the Balaurs are so interested in this place. The two factions, relentless in their pursuit of knowledge, are destined to clash once again in a battle of unyielding fury and might.

Runatorium is a 6 vs 6 battleground for Elyos and Asmodians. There are some ordinary Balaurs in the arena, ingenious traps and the ancient monster Kunax, whose body has mutated under the prolonged influence of ide energy. Killing Kunax ends the fight. The team with the most points wins.

Accessing the zone:
The battleground is available for players from 61 to 65 levels.
Number of players: 6.

For the nearest future, the schedule will be as follows:

What a nice implementation, you are great guys! Thanks for the effort

Should have auto entry queue like dredge so people can't dodge.  This should be default and forces people to queue.  I'm pretty sure in retail they also had a reward box win or losing same as JMR/EOB, (ancient coins). Thanks for adding this instance and not pushing a new patch.  I like "classic" Aion for a reason.  Good job and nice work!
