Background Changer

Guilds are arriving today!

At approximately 12:25 pm EST FreeRealms servers went down for maintenance. In game announcements stated that once servers were back up we would have the ability to start our own guilds with our friends.
 
How long will servers be down? As of now, estimated downtime has not been posted but we are all hopeful that it won't be long before we are back ingame and creating our guilds.
 
Recapping some of the information from our previous article:
 
  Thanks to MMORPG.com's Sanya Weathers interview with Systems Lead Luke Sigmund, we have another preview of what is looking to be a great feature.
 
 
 

In Sanya's conversations with Luke Sigmund, it was noted that these guilds will keep in theme with Free Realms -- easy to navigate menus and straight forward information. Many guilds often create off-site websites to create a sense of community while not able to log on to free realms. It was noted in then interview that these features will be coming to the guild community at a later date. For now, we can expect in-game features to look forward too.

 

 

“We wanted to turn around the first iteration of guild functionality very quickly,” says Sigmund. “The basic tools are there – tags, chat tabs, the ability to teleport to other guild members. Recruiting and web tools will come later. We’re planning social networking features, but they won’t be coming online with the first guild patch. We need everything to be really polished before it goes live, and right now we’re focusing on in-game features.”
 
 
As a bonus to the interview with Luke Sigmund featured on MMORPG.com; Pex took time to answer various questions on the official Sony forum, also noting that there are plans to have a look at guild's stage one up by Friday.
 
From these discussions we can confirm the following:
  •  You will be required to be level 15 in at least one job.
     
  • You will be able to create a custom guild name which will require approval. Until the name is approved you will use a temporary guild name.  For example, my temporary guild name would be <Ashley Preciousfable's Guild>.
     
  •   There is no need to have multiple users sign a charter - all you need is yourself!
     
  •   Guilds do not cost anything to create.
