Guilds

Guilds are organizations that characters can join to access community, training, exclusive quests, special discounts, and collective benefits in pursuit of professional or social goals. After joining, characters can work together with their guildmates or take on individual tasks to help level up their Guild, unlocking and enhancing member benefits.

Create Your Own / Future Guilds

• We plan to add additional guilds in future -- these may be discovered during Seasons, mini-games, etc. or released when we hit certain character/player milestones.
  • When additional guilds are established, players will have the ability to change membership into the new guild at a discount.
  • We may also allow characters to join multiple guilds in future, depending on interest.
  • If you have any ideas or suggestions for future guilds, please let us know!
• Characters may also found their own guilds by gathering three or more characters and filling out the form on the Guilds page. The three characters must be played by different people, however, one character can be a NPC.

Joining a Guild

• Each character can be a member of up to two guilds.
• Characters can join a guild at any time by updating the "Primary Guild", "Primary Guild Position" ("Secondary Guild" and "Secondary Guild Position") fields on their profile.

Guild Progression & Voting System

As guilds grow in size and activity, they naturally develop greater influence and access to specialized resources. To reflect this, each guild tracks its collective progress using a points-based system. Points may be earned through participation in guild-tagged threads, fulfilling duties, completing bounties, and engaging in site events that support the guild’s goals.

Earning Progression Points

• Any in-character post that references a character's Guild or guild duties can be marked with the 'Guild' checkbox to contribute +5 Guild Points.
  • Make sure to enter the name of applicable guild(s) in the textbox.
• A list of example Guild Duties can be found on each Guild's profile, but players are also welcome to come up with their own assignments/duties.

How Leveling Works

• When a guild reaches a new progression threshold (listed below), it will level up and become eligible to unlock a new feature, reward, or upgrade.
• At each level-up, a randomized list of 3–4 reward options will be presented to the guild; examples of possible rewards can be found in the Possible Progression Rewards section below.
• Once the options are revealed, a vote will be held to decide which reward to unlock.

Voting Rules

• Each player with at least one character in the guild receives one vote.
• Votes are cast out-of-character during a designated window.
• The option with the most votes will become the guild’s permanent reward for that level.

Late Joiners

• Characters who join a guild after a level-up has occurred will still benefit from that guild’s existing facilities, recipes, bounties, and features.
• However, they will not receive time-sensitive bonuses (such as surprise gifts or item drops) that were given to members active at the time of the reward.
• This helps preserve fairness for those who contributed to a reward’s unlock, while still allowing new members to enjoy the fruits of guild growth.
