The Guild Update (Update #20)
Guild Update - Phase 1
Lots of new features have been released today! First of all, guilds are finally out, so let’s celebrate! Also, new items have been added to the compass which include two new upcoming games, quest log, character information, and guild information.
What are guilds?
Guilds are our version of clans/factions on the server. You can earn Guild Coins through participating in mini games. Guilds are a great way to meet new people and create new friendships within the server. Get your guild together and earn guild coins to get ready for future updates. More guild features will be coming soon such as guild ranking, guild pvp and guild related events.
All guilds start off with a maximum limit of 25 players per guild but you can upgrade by using Guild Coins. You can also purchase perks with Guild Coins, some could also assist you in mini games.
You can check out the new guild features by going on the server now and using /guild help. In order to create a guild you must be a VIP+ or higher, but anyone can join a guild!
The Guild information when you type /guild info updates faster than the information on the compass, so do not worry if you see two different stats.
Recruit members for your guild or join a guild in the Guild section in the forum. There are already plenty of guilds to choose from.
This is Phase 1 of guild update, there will be many phases for the guild, but we needed to release it so that we could see all the bugs pop and fix those!
Guild ranks and what they do:
Guild Master
- Promote guild members to officer
- Demote guild officers to members
- Change guild settings
- Upgrade things from the guild shop
- Transfer the guild to someone who is VIP+ or higher
- Disband the guild
Guild Officer
- Invite players to the guild
- Kick players from the guild
Guild Members
- Use guild chat
- Earn coins for the guild by playing games
- Leave the guild
New Commands:
Here are a few new commands that have been added:
/guild - Shows you basic guild commands.
/guild create [Name] - Allows you to create a guild! (VIP+ only)
/guild members - Shows a list of all the members (A green dot on the right of their name means they’re online, and a red dot means they’re offline)
/guild info - Shows you how many coins your guild has and the daily limit
/chat [Guild, All, Party] - Allows you to toggle between the various chats.
Upcoming Lobbies:
- The Arcade Games is a combination of games that we’ve been working on but didn’t feel that they were worthy to have their own individual lobby, we have lots of them! You will be able to exchange Arcade Coins for any other games, let’s say 1000 coins for 100 mega walls coins.
- The Arena game is a very competitive pvp based game and it’s never been done in Minecraft. The game itself isn’t directly related to guilds. More information about this game will be coming soon.
Future Updates:
In the future there will be guild ranks, guild pvp and other guild related events. You will be able to use Guild Coins to buy the guild fortress upgrade which allows you to build a fortress with your guild. The guild fortress will be upgradable and usable in guild pvp games.
- There will be housing related to guilds with the ability to build yourself some parts.
- As of right now, we are very early in development for guild fortress and it will take a few months to complete.
- Network Leveling is an upcoming feature that will work alongside Quest Log, you will be able to gain Levels on the server, to unlock special kits, skills and items from games on the network, from old games and new games. More info will be given in the next few weeks about it.
Here are a few screenshots of the guild update:
Feel free to give some feedback below on what you think about the new update. Help us out by reporting bugs in the Server Bug Reports section in the forum.
Have a great day!
