Patch Notes: Day 6

Guild Tariffs

Only the Top 5 Guilds (24 hour rolling) are exempt from Paymaster taxes now.

Top Guilds have their members marked in Orange names ingame - their members are MARKED - they lose all items on death, making them prime targets for solo players or smaller guilds looking to climb the rankings. Guilds #6-25 have a sliding scale of taxes, while smaller guilds take the full tax. The Top guilds ranking is calculated based on the last 24hr of Royal Favor earnings by the guild (see Rolling 24hr leaderboard for Guilds for your guild's placement). Coming Soon: 0% Split Guild member contributions are halved when calculating Guild Leaderboard rankings, with ability to renegotiate % split with guild members.

Leaving a guild will put you on a 24hr cooldown before you can join any guild again. If you are marked as being in a Top 5 Guild (with Orange name), leaving a guild will continue to mark you for 24hr.

Guild Chest History

For Guilds with extensive Guild Chest log histories, these should now be fixed.

Disconnections, Lag
