War of Emperium

Overview

The concept of War of Emperium has undergone significant changes. Because in the current realities, 20 WoE-1 and 12 WoE-2 castles is too much, on private servers their number is usually reduced by several times. Also, on many servers, the ability to receive Godlikes — the main trophy of Guild Wars — is disabled.

We have brought the WoE system into a more logical, in our opinion, form. You no longer have to collect Godlike pieces for six months in the hope that the server won't die. Now a separate Godlike is "attached" to each castle. The guild owns a Goldlike as long as it controls the castle.

At the start of the server, 4 WoE-1 castles will be available (1 for the each town). WoE-2 Castles will be opened with the introduction of Transcendent classes.

Below there is the information about WoE changes. Guild skill changes are described here.
