			== <span style="color:#cc8400"><big>RvR Lockout</big></span> ==

			Gaining Renown in a Tier 2–4 RvR lake starts a 60-minute [[RvR Lockout]]. A player may still log into the opposite realm, but RvR-lake rewards are blocked there until the timer expires. The lockout is suspended while the player has [[Against All Odds]], and Tier 1 does not trigger the full lockout.

			RvR lakes can host temporary random encounters. The [[King of the Hill (RvR encounter)\|King of the Hill encounter]] may appear when one realm has at least 20% AAO, challenging an outnumbered warband to defend its leader for 10 minutes.
