Heya.
In game reasoning
Certain guilds have slipt out of view of the population of Alora. Others are slipping. They might be forgotten, or they might shine again, depending on their effort.
out of game reasoning
I removed sovereign status from which I consider unlikely to grow and/or change with any decent speed. Stale guilds, single player guilds, that sort of thing. Those I wasn't exactly sure of being Sovereign material by the observations i'v done, but aren't stale or totally memberless I gave a respite to show their worth. How long this respite will be I cant say, but I will be fair in this matter.
How to become/stray sovereign
There are no precise requirements. A sovereign guild should take precedence in the world of Alora, really add something, both for players, as the game world. A guild that is noticed and revered, that gives a certain status to players. A visible intent and effort to exist will go a long way.
Guild Uniques:
On guild rewards, I plan to gift sovereign with their own special things, in due time however, and not by request or specification. If your guild description or actions do not inspire me you dont deserve one.
