@grofire That would also work! Anything to stop one guild taking over all the resource rich areas simply because they have the numbers.

@finland
It's inevitable though and it will happen - how could they possibly stop it?

There will always be disagreements between players and people who take things the wrong way or think they're entitled to something they didn't get and blame it on someone else. It will happen just as it happens in every game.

Guilds playing as mercenaries will likely decide on which jobs they take based on the task and the payment BUT there will also be mercenaries who don't care who they're killing as long as they get paid.

If you have any ideas on how to make it difficult I'd love to know them, but in a sandbox game like this I can't think of a way around it.

I honestly hope there is a modest guild member cap for this reason.
In Albion everyone would remember the alliance run by Gluttony - can't remember the name of it but I remember him.
It had thousands of people who, when asked, could zone out an entire region and generally were the "pests" you had to deal with at every hotspot.

They weren't often skilled or well armed but large numbers cause issues for smaller groups.

I'm all for unlimited open world PvP BUT put a cap on guild member numbers (which I think they're doing?)

[EDIT] and NO alliances - let's be honest they were more trouble than they were worth

Fellow Beast-kin, industrious humans, and yeah... I suppose the Demons too...

We all know dogs are the best
Show me all your good boys and girls

This is my good girl, River

@grimm13
Welcome fellow Aussie!
I was you about 15 years ago, don't worry communication with strangers gets easier

Looks like Fractured is creating an awesome little community here, I hope you find your own little corner of it!

Smiling at the wolf-kin, Mimi replied "True, you seemed occupied with the demons at the bar for most of it, I'd never seen a demon before then."

Telwath grinned toothishly, extending his hand which Mimi took eagerly in greeting.

"Did you study healing on Arboreus? I must admit, I wasn't expecting to find one of your kind following this path, the only Udoadra I have met have been fighters or merchants, more interested in cunning trade than helping others - no offense intended of course."

It was nice being outside after the last few days cooped up in the Tavern. Breathing in the morning air, crisp with frost, Mimi looked around at their new travelling companions, The Rhila Trading Company. It reminded her of a beehive, everyone had their purpose, everyone knew exactly what they had to do, and all of them centered by the caravan master, Seryn. Seryn was amazing to watch, she seemed to be aware of everything that was happening, looking over her caravan with pride and casting our party some clearly dubious glances, Glim knows what he is about, she things Seryn will see.

"Well don't you just look like you fell out of the wrong tree?"

Mimi turns toward the friendly voice, a small smile already turning up the corners of her mouth. She is greeted by a young woman leading one of the cart horses, a small owl nestled into her neck.

"I'm Imri, I look after the horses and such for Rhila."

"Mimi, I'm travelling with Glim and his mercenaries."

Imri looked Mimi up and down taking note of her simple, worn robe and her cautious manner, "I hope you don't mind me sayin', but I didn't take you for a mercenary."

"I'm learning to be a healer." Mimi said softly ducking her head.

"Well, good luck Mimi. I have to get this great lug ready." she said, slapping the horses flank in good spirits, "I look forward to getting to know you on the road."

Mimi nodded and smiled in reply, watching Imri walk away, and suddenly found herself feeling uneasy, as though she was being watched. Shaking it off, Mimi walked back to their cart to put the last of her supplies away. I guess this is it. We should be off before the day is out.

Having overheard the exchange, Mimi decided to turn in early for the night. It was a long, tiring road to Avermore.

"Would you care to join us?" she asked Rikki, clutching her left antler anxiously, "I know Glim would appreciate someone like you if we happened to come across anyone unsavory on the road."

Rikki eyed Mimi with curiosity, pipe in hand, eyebrows skeptical.

"Sorry... I... I would like you to come with us." and feeling embarrassed, pulled her hood up, awkwardly catching her antlers, and made a hasty exit to the upper floor of the tavern to find a place to sleep.

Can confirm from experience these guys in Albion were not to be fucked with. They were everywhere, all the time with zero moral compass.

Would caution making any kind of alliance or trade deal though they're really only looking out for number one and if they can have the cake and eat it too, they will.

Taking Rikki's hand, Mimi couldn't help but gawk awkwardly at her. Rikki's confident manner, the way she walked, talked, and even the way she openly practiced mind altering magic - right where others could see - was something so appealing to Mimi. Such self assurance. It was everything Mimi wanted to be... One day.

"Nice to meet you too."

"We should go and see what this human wants" Glim growled, passing the flask back to the demon who accepted it with a grin, "Coming along?" he asked Mimi.

Still staring at Rikki, Mimi hesitated before answering "What? Oh, yes of course." and not waiting to leave Rikki out, "Did you want to come back inside for some food?"

Feeling like some fresh air, Mimi made to walk toward the door of the tavern but is stopped by a well dressed human in a blue cloak.

"I believe you're travelling with the Nheedra and his men? Could you tell him I must speak with him about moving our timeline forward, matters have arisen I can not ignore." he looks stressed as his eyes wander the room.

"Of course, I'll tell him to meet you at our table." Mimi replies, gesturing back to where she had been seated then continues to make for the door, Glim was here a moment ago.

Turning into the entrance of the tavern she notices Glim leaning against the door frame accompanied by the Erwydra from the bar and oddly, one of the Demons. Walking forward cautiously Mimi is astounded to see Glim accept a drink from the Demon, what has caused this change of heart? Hearing the Erwydra chuckle she startles as her eyes glow a bright blue, that's a powerful magic that can make one such as Glim comfortable enough to take a drink from a Demon, I hope she is trustworthy.

Seeing Mimi approach Glim nods, "What is it lass?"

"The fellow from earlier, the man in need of protection for his caravan, he is looking for you inside." ducking her head shyly Mimi could see the Erwydra fixing her pipe with more tobacco, a sweet smell filling the air.

"My name is Mimi" she said softly to the Erwydra. The Demon, who seemed to be quite intoxicated chuckled at the exchange between them.

@WhoAteTheCat is running a guild that will act as mercenaries and "swords for hire", for a fee of course.

The Kickstarter will be out at the end of the month for about a month, then it should be available to buy founder tiers from their official website

There is a huge range in prices as a founder with lots of different benefits

Seasonal cosmetics

Yes but with restrictions/negative impacts.

For example, someone with really bad karma can technically go to Arboreus but likely wont be able to stay there long.
Check out this post which has some great info on what you're asking about.

yesssss!
You and everyone else here I'm sure

Counting the days

What's going on? Mimi rubs her eyes feeling much better after drinking the potion someone had left for her, Why is it so tense in here?

Hearing Malyvern she seeks out his voice and sees him at the bar with the Erwydra from the corner, she looks so calm and sure of herself Mimi thinks wistfully, watching the beast-kin lean casually against the bar, fiddling with her pipe.

Starting to wake up more she notices a smell in the stuffy air of the tavern that wasn't there before. Something cruel and unforgiving wafting over the smell of stale ale and tobacco.

One of the people at the bar turns toward Malyvern and says something, not a person, she corrects herself, a demon. Two demons. Mimi's mother told her once that demons weren't necessarily evil, but reveled in war and conflict, finding beauty in cruelty the same why we found beauty in our kindness towards others and nature. Mimi is extremely curious but not enough to approach the bar and certainly not to even consider it with the way Glim and Ixuo are reacting.

Seeing she is awake, Telwath passes her a mug of water, sprinkling some kind of pale powder in with a wink, making Mimi duck her head in embarrassment, instinctively clutching her left antler.

Traditionally Korean MMO's are grindy and tend to be over-sexualised.
Neither of those appeal to me so I'll be steering clear.
