Guilds
- Maximum membership in a guild is 16
Guilds are collection of members who can own Geosids and are not disbanded upon exiting of the game
The founder of a guild can kick-out members or disband the guild at any time
The founder selects leaders of the guild and can promote or demote them
The leaders of a guild can allow new members to join or kick-out non-leader, non-founder members
Membership in a guild is denoted under the character’s name in brackets
Geosid ownership by a guild is denoted under the Geosid’s name in brackets
Actions for a guild can be performed by pressing Enter, typing one of the following commands, and then pressing Enter again to enact
g/create guild name – creates guild named in brackets. Guild will be created once a person other than the founder joins (g/create works like g/lead)
g/lead – allows someone who has typed “g/join” to enter guild, can only be done by leader or founder
g/join – allows for someone to ask permission to join a guild
g/promote name – makes named a leader of the guild (only the founder can do this)
g/demote name – removes named as leader of guild (only founder can do this)
g/leave – leave the guild you currently have membership in
g/kick Name – kicks out named member of the guild. Leader only action.
g/members - names members of guild
g/geosids – shows name of Geosid(s) that your guild owns
g/abandon GeosidName – relinquishes ownership of a Geosid. Leader-only action.
Parties (currently disabled)
- Maximum membership in a party is 8
Parties are temporary collections of players that can gain collective experience and are disbanded upon exiting of the game
p/lead – Opens the party, allowing others who type “p/join” to join
p/join – allows you to join a nearby party
p/leave – leaves party your are currently in
p/kick name -- kicks named player out of the party

Geosids
- You can sacrifice items to a Geosid. If you open your drop menu (default key is D) near a town Geosid the menu will appear in red to acknowledge that any items dropped in this location will be sacrificed. Eventually, sacrificing items to a Geosid causes it to perform different events, such as generating items or creating a portal to one of the worlds that was linked in the Evidyon. Anyone can sacrifice to white geosids, but red, blue and yellow geosids must be owned by a guild.
