Hello, Adventurers! We wanted to help all guilds grow with our last update by removing the minimum number of participants required for Node War, decreasing the difference between collectible tax from each node, and averaging out the percentage of tax. However, certain powerful guilds have started to fight in lower Tier nodes as the minimum requirements were removed and the percentages of tax collected were averaged out. Node War is a stage set for guilds to demonstrate their strength and unity. It is also a place for guilds to secure guild funds for them to grow. Tier 1 nodes are crucial starting points for new guilds to grow faster. So, we are going to implement the following rules to minimize the chances of these guilds from facing an overwhelming opponent: Guilds occupying Tier 1 Nodes cannot participate in Tier 2 or higher Node Wars

Guilds occupying Tier 2 or higher Nodes cannot participate in Tier 1 Node Wars (In order to participate in a Conquest War, you must occupy 1 or more Nodes in Tiers 3 or higher.) We’re also listening closely to all the other various Node Wars and Conquest Wars feedback you are providing for us. We would like to provide a Node War environment suitable for each type of guild, whether it be a newly created guild or a more advanced guild. We are looking into many different ways to provide a fun experience for all guild sizes and stages of growth. For example, in a Tier 1 Node, we would like guilds of similar sizes and power to compete against each other in a Node War and learn to enjoy the PvP and Node War experience. In addition, we will continue to add ways to allow beginners to enjoy the large scale battles through methods such as providing rewards appropriate for each situation, helping to encourage quick growth. We are hoping these efforts will act as stepping stones for guild growth. As for the advanced guilds, we will provide an environment in which they can compete intensely in higher Tier Nodes for honor and provide a chance to collect great wealth that suits the level of competition on such Nodes.
