Wiktionary
n. (plural of duel English)
Wikipedia
Duels are an English indie band from Leeds formed in 2005. They have been described by The Guardian as "one of Britain's most ambitious groups"
The band's debut album, The Bright Lights And What I Should Have Learned was released in July 2006 and received an 8/10 review in the NME, while also being named 'Album of the Week' in The Sunday Times, The Guardian and on XFM.
Duels is a free player vs. player browser game. A player's avatar can either fight another player controlled avatar, or an NPC to gain experience points, gold, and tokens. Tokens can be used to purchase packs containing scrolls, armor, and weapons. Gold can be used to purchase armor, weapons, pets, and, in Duels 2.0, actions. Players are given the option to issue challenges to each other. When a player accepts a challenge, the avatars fight it out in real time, but without player interaction. As such, players do not need to be logged in to engage in battle. Duels does offer paid memberships called Nobles or Patrons with many useful perk choices, and non-member players can also purchase Challenge Coins which give access to some of these more advanced menu choices for playing, but you do not have to pay to play.
