To see them in techy detail go to http://www.gemdust.com/purple8/about.php?op=setup .
In a nutshell:
This tourney begins on July 15. There are 15 turns per game day and the game days last 12 hours, just like Central, but the new day is at a different time.
You can join now - and get in - and play - but the dragon will not be in the cave until July 15. Jump in now and play turns and get to know how it is set up. If you miss the start, it's ok - once the tourney opens you get a magical ***NEW DAY*** button that you can hit every time you die, to help you catch up! (It will disappear once you get your first dragon kill.)
The tournament goes for 100 game days. Each time you log in it will tell you (for example, This is day 5 of the tourney, of 100 days). At the end of the tourney, you will be dead as soon as you log in =) But you will be able to get to your YOM, and so on, and see where you ended up. I will post the winner on the main GemDust.com site. They get 1000 donator points to spend on any other tourney on the site.
You start with 200 gold. Who cares if it is not balanced and too generous? Go nuts with it. And you can borrow more, too. Slay five people a day, but it won't get you as much experience as you are used to on Central, because this tourney is about strategy, not luck in finding a target.
Gardens are gone. There is only one town (Purple City). You won't see the same mounts. You won't see all the specials either or shops. Four base races only (Storm Giant and Felyne aren't there because they require other towns).
Those are the main things I can think of. If you have questions about any of the Purple server settings feel free to ask here in this thread. Enjoy =)
