Out of curiosity, how long would you suggest these matches to be?
Also, don't players need to be provided with arrows as well? Since those are also a consumable
Things may be looking down now, but I see a light at the end of the tunnel;
Do you think I should get off the tracks?

Well, I revised the suggestions this morning to reduce the length of a match. I buffed the Level 3 power-ups for two of the teams, simplified the game rules/mechanics, and added the obelisk teleportation mechanic. Would half an hour be too optimistic? Regardless of the time limit, you'd be able to join matches in progress to mostly avoid wait time.
The obelisks would speed up the game considerably - especially if a team manages to capture one close to an enemy base. I looked at the map, and each base has one obelisk close to it (the Blood team has one right next to the Rogues' Castle). Two obelisks are in no man's land in the central Wilderness, which would make for some intriguing tactics. The fact that there are six obelisks and four teams also prevents a deadlock in which each team statically controls exactly the same number.
In terms of what items would be provided, there are quite a few options (not mutually exclusive):
a) Provide items for all relevant purposes (weapons, armour, ammunition, food, etc.)
b) Provide some items (such as runes, ammunition, and food)
c) Prohibit some outside items (such as food/potions)
d) Prohibit all outside items
The benefit of restricting some equipment is to level the playing field, while the drawbacks are potentially less combat power and fewer combinations to work with.
I'd favor a combination of options a) and c). Generic equipment sets specific to the minigame would be provided, but players would be permitted to bring their own weapons and armour. Ammunition would similarly be provided. You would spawn with minigame arrows and bolts, which would technically be max tier but would scale their accuracy/damage to your weapon. Runes are functionally interchangeable so would be strictly provided. Spirit of Forinthry ~ Runecrafting: Magic Armour ~ F2P Extensions ~ Dragon Slayer improvements ~ New Player Experience
