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). <hr /> <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Beta Testing Weekend 1 - 7/26/2024 through 7/29/2024</strong></span> <ul> <li>Player Introduction Period - Ocllo Starting Area</li> <li>Primary Narrative Lines <ul> <li>Warrior</li> <li>Mage</li> <li>Ranger</li> <li>Blacksmith</li> <li>Tailor</li> <li>Carpenter</li> </ul> </li> <li>Legacy System <ul> <li>Unique Surname</li> <li>Character Portrait</li> <li>Legacy Journal</li> <li>Legacy Sash</li> <li>Legacy Awards</li> <li>Memberships</li> </ul> </li> </ul>
