In Skyforge , there will be a duel between the various guilds, the Pantheons, every week for resources and prestige.
The god MMO Skyforge has introduced its guild system, which is strictly hierarchical like the complex structures of Greek and Roman gods and is geared towards chaos.
A guild in Skyforge is called “Pantheon,” which is the Greek word for a pantheon of gods, meaning a collection of different gods in cultures that, unlike Christianity, worship more than one god. The size of the guild can be expanded multiple times from 150 to 250 players and beyond. The maximum size is likely to be 400.
The guild will not be monolithic but will consist of various clan leaders under the guild leader. The clan leaders will each oversee a team of 4-20 players.
A guild can grow by further expanding various buildings that determine the clan size and number of clans. By expanding other buildings, the guild members also unlock bonuses for themselves, as well as access to PvE and PvP activities.
Once a week, guilds can compete against others in a combined PvE and PvP contest. Up to 100 players engage in such a battle in Skyforge for each Pantheon. 50 of them attack others in PvP, while the other 50 participate in PvE challenges.
Mein MMO says: The expansion of the guild facilities in such a “community project” is a system that is known from some games, like Star Trek Online or various browser games. There, players collect resources and can contribute them to a “shared pool” to unlock relatively minor bonuses with a huge cross-team effort. In practice, this is quite trivial, unless there is a proper goal for the players. One has to see how Team Allods will implement this in Skyforge.
The guild wars, on the other hand, are an interesting project and are expected to provide long-term motivation. This is exactly what they probably hope for in Russia from the Pantheons. As many MMO studies have found: players who are integrated into fixed guild structures remain in an MMO longer. Every development team is well-advised to lure players into such communities and keep them there.
