Guild System

Guilds are a clan-like system used to build small communities with like-minded players across the server. It sort of acts like never-ending parties that allows people stay in the group even when they are offline! Players with VIP+ rank or higher can create guilds, but anybody is able to join a guild.

==Guild Ranks==
By Default, a guild has just 3 ranks. Master, Officer, and Member, however following the Guild Update, players can create multiple ranks, with whatever name or permissions they prefer. It is still impossible to have more than 1 guild Master. Only whitelisted guild rank names are visible on the forums (source). Below are default rank when the guild is created:
=== Guild Master ===
The Guild Master is the leader of the guild has full access to all guild commands including changing the guild tag and MOTD and transferring guild leadership and promoting members to officers. They have total control of the guild, ranks, and even have the ability to remove it.
=== Officer ===
The Officers of the guild need to be promoted by the Guild Master.
Guild Officers (by default) have the ability to:
*All Member Permission(s)
*Use the officer chat
*Invite players to the guild
*Kick players from the guild
=== Member ===
The Members of the guild have only a few permissions. They can check when they joined the guild and how many guild coins they have accumulated in the last week. Members also have access to guild chat.
*Use guild chat
*Earn GEXP
*Leave the guild
== Guild Experience ==
On 7/26/2018, the guild shop and guild coin system was entirely replaced with guild exp. Guild now has all perks in the former guild shop. (Announcement Thread) 
=== Legacy Rewards ===
For the top guilds in the old system, they were all granted rewards. The top 100 guilds in the coin system were given special coin badges, either Gold (#1 - #3), Silver (#4 - #10), or Bronze (#11 - #100). (Note, due to a current bug in the system ranks #4 to #10 have a gold star).
Furthermore, they also received a special cape that would display their legacy rank in particles in-game.
=== Leveling Up ===
Guild members can gain guild experience (GEXP) and level their guild up. Guild challenges can be done for a hefty exp reward. Guilds that previously used guild coins had them converted into GEXP at a rate of 1 guild coin to 1 GEXP.
Upon reaching a certain XP limit (200,000 GEXP), XP gain is reduced to just 10% for all players, until it reaches 250,000 GEXP, after which gain drops to 3%.
Furthermore, additional GEXP is earned during gameplay, either over time (with most games giving a base GEXP of 1.67 per minute of playtime, (Detailed breakdown), and then additional GEXP being given for winning. In addition, playing in a game with other members of the guild will given even more GEXP.
To help lower-ranked guilds catch up in the system, a catch up system was added. Guilds 10+ levels below the #1 guild receive 2x GEXP, and those 20+ levels below will receive it 3x the amount (note the cap still applies as per normal)
=== Rewards ===
As guilds level up, they gain rewards for doing so. The Main rewards that are given are a chance to earn double XP in a game, or, double coins for a single instance of you receiving coins. Other cosmetic rewards are available and can be viewed using /g rewards. Rewards includes:
* +1% Double XP: +1% Chance every level except that the guild level is the multiple of 3.
