Hi everyone! We’ll (hopefully) be able to start working on guilds soon, and since this is such a major feature, we wanted to give everyone a chance to ask questions about it and give feedback before we start working. So Danc and I wrote this essay. Take a look, let us know what you think on Discord! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HJWO4XP9n0GZm0XDDCmeEhuuH2g013uJOgO4LenmPFY/

Other content
- Ra Generator arena is larger
Trading
- Closed trading loophole which was unintentionally encouraging people to execute unsafe trades by gifting gold and then expecting items back (as a separate trade) to avoid the trade tax.
- Reduced the gold trading fee by 20% to soften the impact of the above.
Server stuff
- Enforce chat rate limits on server side
- Yet more anti-hacking and server stability work. Players who get caught cheating will now be auto-banned after a variable amount of time depending on the severity of the crime and random chance.
Other
- It is now possible to report cheaters and/or toxic behavior via the friends list. Click on any player to find and use the report options. Please do not report players simply because they used a swear word, but if they use slurs or hate speech or are seriously harassing you in any way, that is a fine reason to report them. Remember to be kind to each other. We’re all on the same team here.
