Dear players,
today we launch Update 2.0 on the live server. This update contains the previously announced Guild Passive Skills and other patches.
Guild Passive Skills
The passive guild skills are an addition to the original guild system giving it a custom touch. The aquired passive skills will be active anywhere as long as you make use of the Guild Medal which can be bought at the Rita npc.
An important information for some guilds is that the guild member count was now limited to a maximum of 40 players.
Let's dive into it:
This window will be found on the skill page of your guild. In the top row you can see all the available skills. The bottom part is for submitting items as each skills requires a great amount of items to be skilled.
The amount of items required is high, but do not be scared, as the whole guild can collect them together. Each member is able to submit them by moving an item into the slot and clicking the "OK" button.
Only required items to skill the current skills can be submitted. Submitted items can then be seen by hovering the Inventory like icon in the bottom right. If the guild collected enough items,
the leader will see a plus button showing up for a skill, it can then be skilled.
At the moment, each skill has 5 levels which will be extended in the future, so be sure to see updates coming for that system.

Buy the medals to be able to actually gain the bonus of your guild. By right-clicking them you will be able to activate and deactivate it. Also, be aware that the medals have a
time limit and will vanish when running out of time, you have to get a new one then. Note: The skills will be permanent, though when the medal vanishes, you do not gain the bonus anymore until you get a new medal from Rita.
Active medals will grant you the bonuses of all skills of your guild, though if 5 or more players of your guild are nearby and can be seen by you, you will
gain 20% additional bonus. So, if a skill grant's e.g. 10% Strong against Monsters, you will then gain 12% Strong against Monsters as long as you are playing together. The reason behind this is to encourage team-work within the guilds and to give them a real reason.
Anti Cheat
Of course we have been actively fighting against Botter and Cheater since server start to ensure a fair gaming experience. Nevertheless, the affected users of such third-party programs are not afraid of constantly creating new accounts to gain unfair advantages. Therefore we have been working in the background for some time now on new methods to prevent the use of third-party programs. With today's update, we are now conducting the first live tests to test the protection and to see to what extent further improvements are necessary. At the moment, the protection will not actively influence the gameplay as we need to make sure everything is working as intended. With the next patches, we will implement more and more of the whole protection so we then will finally be able to activate it fully. We'll keep you up to date, so follow the informations on Discord and read the upcoming patchnotes.
