Mobile Suit Gundam Online's six Golden Week events start today!

Mobile Suit Gundam Online, with over 450,000 players, aims for an even half-million with the "Golden Week Surging Waves" set of events!
The fun kicks off at 6 PM tonight with three separate events. Let's check out what's coming!


■ [GW Event #1] New mode: "Limited Vs."! Random maps for Mass Battles!

Starting today, Limited Vs. joins the Mass Battle mode.
Limited Vs. pits two teams of six against each other on a small battlefield, matching you with friends and foes of a similar customization rate.
Scoring is based primarily on kills, making player skill key to victory. With teams of only 6, coordination is vital.

And since it's all done in a training simulator, you can take on allies as well as enemies.
You can also recover gauge by capturing tactical objectives marked on the map, making these objectives key to victory.

Victory in Limited Vs. boosts your weekly rate, which could unlock special customization colors for your mobile suit.

▲ Limited Vs. features 6v6 simulator battles!

▲ Cooperate to capture tactical objectives!

▲ Some of the special colors you can unlock

Meanwhile, the existing Mass Battles will use random maps throughout Golden Week. Give it a shot, and enjoy the added variety.
