You can not battle people who are not online, however even if no one else is online, after five minutes and 20 or so seconds you an fight an automated NPC.

As for the front lines, refer to the the button at the top of the page to battle. There is a two minute cool down period after battling. If you wish to mingle with others, there is a Taskal War forum, if you wish to talk to only your faction, you may do in their encampment/war room. You can not see the opposite side's respective forum.

That's kinda a long time, but I guess we can wait that.
I probably won't be able to be much during the weekend, unexpected and unpleasant stuff came up, but I ope to finish my set... sometime soon. -sighs- Good that it won't end so soon.

it's not a long time since any time after two minutes you would be pitted against anyone else in the arena. It's only for if there is no one else at all in the arena. And there are many npc's. Not to mention you'd probably gain most of your currency from browsing anyway.

I do know, but I usually have to wait at least an extra minute or two, but that's not so bad. And I gain around equal amounts of currencies both by browsing and fighting. But, indeed, I am sure I would have already reached my goal, if unexpected circumstances hadn't befallen me and my home. Besides, I am not impatient and I know this event will be going for long time to come.

WHAT AN AWESOME EVENT!
I ish euphoric now!
And wow, the event items! :D
I wish I had some runes :3

FUU I GO SEE HARRY POTTER AND Y'ALL GO AND START A WAR WITHOUT ME.
Tsk tsk.
I can't leave you guys alone for one minute. -3-

I haven't gone through all the event sets yet but I see some recognizable items yes I do x3

I've been in contact with tech support for the server hosting Trisphee. It seems the "Service Temporarily Unavailable" errors are caused by a recent server upgrade. I've worked some stuff out to improve how many users can be simultaneously active, so you should be seeing fewer of those errors from here on. They may still occasionally occur; just reload the page if that ever happens.

I knew you were a magician.

less errors? ;w; yay I can fight again!

YAY, thank you Coda! **flips over to another page to see an error** XD it does seem to happen less than usual, though, for which I am greatly pleased.

I'm still getting errors every, say six or seven pages x_X But oh well :D

I haven't really had less errors, if honestly. D: But I am sure it will get better with time. ^^
Now my loss count is double as huge, though, since often my attacks didn't get noted down or I got noted I was battle only on, last second, but oh well. I will battle some more when it gets better. ^^ Thank you. C:

Okay, I will try not to refresh pages.

Gotcha Coda!

Sorry If I missed this being posted some where else. How long will this event be going on?

It's pretty vague when but we'll get a warning

"We are still not quite sure when the event will end as this event is tied to other special things that will be happening! So you have plenty of time to reach these goals. (We will have the event shops open for a bit after the event and the ability to hit the post goal will continue until 2 days before we close the event shop. You will be warned before these times occur.)"
