In Earth Online, there are 10 high-ranking guilds, which are the ten richest and most powerful guilds in Earth Online ...

in Earth Online, there is a guild ladder, a guild rank, but above all, there are three types of players guilds in Earth Online ...

**Small-Size Guilds**: They have a base of 100 players and have no Guild Specialty

**Medium-Size Guilds**: have a base of 10,000 Players, have few Guild Specialty

**Large-Size Guilds**: have a base of 100,000 Players, have numerous Guild Specialty

each guild of players has its own "***Guild Specialty***" ...

*Similar to the village creation token, guild tokens were split into copper, black iron, silver and gold. The different level guild tokens would allow a different number of players and have different guild specialties.*

*A copper guild token had an upper limit of 100 men and had no guild specialty. A black iron token had a limit of 1000 men and 1 specialty. Silver guild tokens had a limit of 10 thousand men and 2 specialties. A gold guild token would have a limit of 100 thousand men and 3 guild specialties.*

*Normally speaking, a guild with a copper token would be known as a small guild, a black iron guild as a medium-sized guild, and silver and gold guilds as large-sized guilds.*

*In theory, a large-sized guild would at most have 100 thousand members. But in truth, one could use many different ways to increase that upper limit.*

*Of course, to control a 100 thousand member guild was impossible without a strong and efficient team.*

*Hence, behind the top 10 guilds, there would at least be a workshop behind them. Some of them even had investments from financial institutions to have professional teams to manage the guild.*

*So for some solo players to use their high levels and fame to build a large-scale group, the guild would either be controlled by financial groups, or would run the risk of disbanding.*

*The players in the game were even more practical than in real life. They wouldn't join based on reputation and be a slave for the guild. Especially as this game affected real life, there wasn't such a chance.*

*The difference with the village creation token was that the guild token could be upgraded from doing quests, and the guild specialty could be selected and wasn't fixed.*

*For guilds like the Snow-War Rose Mercenary guild, which were in the top 10, they started off with the lowest copper grade token, and through doing quests upgraded its level. At this stage, all the guild tokens they used were all at least silver rank.*

*On the current market, a copper guild token cost 10 gold. The black iron grade ones needed 200 like the one Ouyang Shuo built.*

*As for silver rank guild tokens, only the 10 big guilds had them. The golden rank guild tokens were a real mystery and weren't something that current adventure game mode players could get.*

*Upgrading the guild token through guild quests was pretty easy early in the game. Like the 10 big guilds, many high-end players used less than half a year to upgrade their guild tokens from the lowest level to the silver rank.*

*However to upgrade it from silver to the gold rank, one needed a long and arduous journey.*

*Ouyang Shuo remembered that the largest guild in China, the Blood Evil Mercenary guild, had taken one and a half years to upgrade to a gold rank guild token.*

*Of course, apart from an additional guild specialty, for the 10 big guilds, the silver guild token was already enough. After all, they could set up branch guilds for other members.*

*The core members hadn't actually reached a total of 10 thousand members. The so-called core members were basically the loyal members and ones which were paid a salary.*
