How guild wars work

• Only the leader of an active guild declares war: duration 7-180 days, frag limit 10-1,000, and a penalty payment for each guild of 0 to 2,000,000,000 gold. The other leader accepts, rejects or changes the terms and sends them back; an unanswered declaration expires after 7 days, a rejected one blocks a new declaration between the two guilds for 7 days.
• Each guild has at most 5 open wars. Both guilds pay their penalty plus a fee of 1,000 gold from the leader's bank account at the server save after the acceptance; the war begins only when both can pay.
• Killing a member of the opposing guild counts as a frag; the same character counts at most 5 times in 24 hours. War kills are never unjustified, but attacking still gives the protection zone block. Members of a guild at war carry an emblem: green for your own guild, red for the enemy, blue for other guilds at war.
• The war ends when a guild reaches the frag limit, surrenders, is disbanded, or when the time runs out. The winner by frags, surrender or disbanding receives both penalties at the next server save; after a time-out the guild with more frags gets its own penalty back plus a share of the other's proportional to the frag difference; a draw returns both. The fees are not returned.
