The Royal Flag Tournament has officially become the VIK Cup—because why bother pretending otherwise? After all, the Russian Syndicate has managed to “win” it for the last ten years straight. That’s 120 Royal Set artefacts, magically appearing in their inventories without paying a cent. Level 5 artefacts? Check. Level 3 artefacts? Naturally.
Meanwhile, cash‑paying players are left scratching their heads, wondering why Admin continues to turn a blind eye to this circus of cheating. The result? Honest players walk away, while the Syndicate strolls off with loot that should have been earned fairly.
So let’s call it what it is: The VIK Cup—short for Very Illegal Kup. A fitting tribute to a decade of “victories” that nobody outside the Syndicate believes were legitimate.
