2023 Running of the Bulls – Auction House event – Germany Famous City
This famous city has been unavailable for a long time.
It is difficult to predict whether we will have the opportunity to obtain it later.
Tips:
If you open a famous city, you’d better attack and occupy it as soon as possible, because if you still don’t occupy it after the protection period ends, other players on the server can occupy it first. And, after occupying it, it’s best to use the bubble (Truce Agreement) immediately to avoid being attacked by players who want to rob the famous city.
