We will be maintaining our existing Order vs Chaos team concept for Town Struggles, however it will no longer be entire guilds that are assigned to Order/Chaos, but instead individual players that will be autobalanced into Order/Chaos teams based on ELO Rating (explained below).The Neutral Base that serves as the overall lobby for Town Struggles

Added option for guilds to purchase “Guild Island Enhancements” that will allow them to work with staff to add visual improvements to an existing Custom Guild Island they have previously unlocked.Added option for guilds to purchase a “Custom Guild House Revision” that will allow them to work with staff to redesign an existing Custom Guild House they have previously unlocked.Fixed an issue where players were unable to leave the Thieves Guild if they no longer had 80 or higher Stealing skill.Fixed the handling when Grey Hand thieves attempt to steal from Blue (innocent) players: previously was “allowing” the attempt but it would have 100% failure rate and would result in several failure messages occuring (handling will now simply block the attempt and generate a single “unallowed” message for the thief).Any bonuses players receive towards “Special Loot Drop Rate” increases will now also increase the chance that Black Goods that they receive from Pilfering/Mugging creatures will be of higher Rarity levels (this includes Special Loot bonuses coming from Weekly Server Region Bonuses, Guild Favors, Mastery Chain Links, Fortune Aspect Armor, and so on).Co-Owners and Friends of a ship will continue to display as Green to other friendly members of the ship (and other “Friendly” ships).Co-Owners of a ship will continue to be able to access the Ship’s Hold.Other non-captain players may still embark onto a ship as passengers, however they will not be able to perform any Harmful or Beneficial actions while on board, and will remain flagging as Grey to players on other ships.The Captain of a player ship (and their Followers) will now display as Orange to other players, rather than Grey, to provide a visual indicator they are the Captain of the ship.The Fighting Party mechanic for ships has been removed in its entirety, and now only the Ship’s Captain will be able to perform core ship actions previously available to Fighting Party members (such Firing Cannons, Steering, Repairing, Harmful and Beneficial actions, Begging Motivation, Barding Skills, etc).If the server has been online for 3 days or more, server saves will now occur once every 60 minutes.If the server has been online for 1 day or more, server saves will now occur once every 30 minutes.For the first 24 hours the server has been online, server saves will occur once every 15 minutes (same as normal).PATCH: March 15 – Town Struggle ELO, Bug Fixes… 05 / 17 / 2022
