Welcome to Fractured!
I'm excited because this game looks like something I've wanted to play for several years.
I've not joined a guild because I'm likely to make my own.
Not sure I can tell you anything, as I just joined this wonderful community a couple of days ago my self. But so far, everyone one has been really nice.
I also, like your suggestion of player designed flags, tabards, etc. Armor is also cool, especially if you are doing a guild activity where there are a lot of you participating. I would also throw down some cash to have this ability.
Hey, I'm Marn, and I'm just found out about fractured a couple of days ago when I ran across an MMO video on youtube, and I was intrigued. I now hold the title of Knight, and I can't wait to try this game out in Alpha and be a positive contributor to this game.
What draws me to this game so much? The fact that you can play any mode you want, straight up PvE, a little of both, or be a ruthless PvPer. From the videos I've watched, it looks very polished, and I could tell the streamers were having fun as well.
Say hello on discord, as I am in there too. Can't wait to play with some of you soon.
Cheers!
