Guilds are coming!

Upcoming Projects

We're talking about what new things we can add to the game. What new functionality that we might be able to add that will make things more fun, bring more people together. We've decided to focus our energies (ok... Rolith's) on bringing guilds and factions into the game for DragonLords.

Yes, that's right, you and your friends will be able to join together and fight under a unified banner and name (of your choosing).

Some idea's we've tossed around as guild perks:

A new mail system where members of the same guild would be able to send short messages to one another
A guild hall, where the guild leader will be able to make short announcements to other members of the guild (kinda like how we make announcements on the front page)
Putting control of the member list for the guild in the guild leaders hands. Likewise, any member can choose to leave thier guild and join another.
Creating several new factions, lead by NPC's, that the guild leader would be able to align the guild with. At this stage of planning, we're thinking of designing the factions around broad philosophies. Like Doing Good, Making Mischief, Elemental Attunement, etc (Cysero has claimed leadership of the Faction of People Who Don't Tie Their Shoes.)
Events/competitions (OMG, sieges) between the factions in the Aeris Battlespire, as well as leaderboards for the guilds
Please remember that this is still very, very, very much in the planning stages, so anything above IS subject to change. We're all excited about this idea and we plan on getting this out to you soon. Soon, as in a few months from now. I will keep you guys updated as this project moves along, so you know where we're at. In the meantime, log onto the forums and let us know what you'd like to see from guilds in game, what types of factions do you want to see, and basically, are you as excited for this as we are?

So, we’ve been working on guilds on and off for the last several weeks, and I figured I’d fill you in on the plans we’ve got for implementing the system.

When guilds go live (We’ll let you know when they’re going live as soon as we have a firm date) This is what’s going to happen:

Dragon Lords will be able to forum a guild.
Guilds will allow up to 35 members.
Players will work to collect gold and resources to level up their communal guild hall
Guilds will be rewarded for having an active player base.
Here is what ISN’T coming with release of guilds.

Factions will not be released with the start of guilds
Inter-faction competitions will be launched when factions unlock
Guild Halls will ultimately be customizable by Guild Leaders adding more features and functionality but this will not be ready when it goes live
Several issues have been addressed with the changes we’ve made to the guild system, namely we won’t be having any way for players to directly communicate in game, keeping Dragon Fable a safe single player experience, while still allowing you and your friends to work together to make your guild stronger and more powerful.

Just a note: Guilds arn't coming out in the near future, we'll be sure to let you guys know when they're going to be ready.
