<strong>Guild UI Updates:</strong>
The user interface for guild management has been revamped for improved navigation and functionality. Players will find it easier to track guild progress, member contributions, and upcoming events.
<strong>"Call to Arms" </strong>
A new way to handle Champion Spawns in Ultima Online. It introduces coordinated goals for VvV Guilds, which encourages exciting PvP battles and interactions among players.
<strong>New Guild Level System:</strong>
This system revolves around completing guild objectives, fostering teamwork and collaboration among guild members.
<strong>How Does it Work?</strong>
<em>Guild Objectives:</em> Guilds earn experience points (EXP) by completing various objectives, such as town objectives, participating in hunts and events, and engaging in guild wars. Member Contributions: Each guild member's participation contributes to the guild's EXP, encouraging active involvement from everyone.
<em>Guild Activity:</em> Completing objectives earns Guild Prestige Tokens, which are converted into weekly EXP for the guild. The more active the guild, the faster it levels up.
<em>Leveling Milestones:</em> Guilds level up by reaching specific EXP milestones, unlocking benefits such as increased member capacity and access to better rewards and resources.
<em>Maintaining Active Membership:</em> Guild leaders must keep a roster of active members to ensure continuous progress. Inactive members hinder the guild's advancement.
<em>Weekly Activity Points Cap:</em> There's a cap on the amount of Guild Prestige Tokens (PT) members can earn daily and weekly. Once reached, further EXP and PT accumulation halts until the weekly reset (Sunday).
