Continuing from Building your Character, hopefully this quick guide can help you get the big picture of what happens inside the vast world of MMORPGs.On this section you will find general information about guilds, crafting concepts and Player versus Player dynamics.
Guilds/Clans
Most games support a Guild/Clan feature, if you are not familiar with the term guild think of it as a team. Just like on TV where they have "Blue Team vs Red Team" it’s a similar thing. In some games a single player can create a guild in exchange for gold and/or skill points, or he might need more players to "sign" an application(guild charter) and then register the guild.
Within the guild there are guild ranks, usually the person who is the head of the guild is the Guild Master, Guild Leader or Clan Master. There are also more ranks for officers that have the power to invite more players into the guild and then the rest of the guild members don't have any add/remove powers.
After the guild has been created it can be upgraded to hold more members. Again, exchanging gold and/ or skill points to perform the upgrade.
There are as many different types of guilds as type of players
