You could choose schools for your charactes. There were three main schools in the game: Sacred Gate, Mystic Peak, Phoenix.

School memberes can also participate in School Wars (formerly called Tyranny) every three hours. The goal of the game is to capture the three towers positioned in different locations in the modified map of Saint Power Plant. A school won if it captured two or more towers; otherwise, there is no winner.
