Guilds will be enabled tomorrow the 22nd of April.
Here is the list with what is included in the first patch for the Guilds:
1) Create/join a Guild
2 ) 7 Guild positions (Leader, Vice Leader, General, Diplomat, Recruiter, Treasurer and plain Member) with specific permissions per position
3 ) Recruitment mechanism
4 ) Approve/Reject an application
5 ) Guilds Ranking
6 ) Guild Members Ranking
7 ) Promote/Demote Members
8 ) Guild's Description
9 ) Guild's Message of the Day
10 ) Guild Vault where members can deposit/withdraw resources, items, fragments to be used by the Guild.
11 ) Vault logs
12 ) Guild Level Up system
13 ) Contracts. This may or may NOT be included in tomorrow's patch, but nevertheless it is an important element of the Guilds feature. Guild members with the relevant permissions will be able to create contracts and send them to either players or other Guilds to initiate a transaction. The contracts can include resources, items and fragments.
With Guild Warfare coming up, we are expecting contracts to become an interesting concept..
