Groups

Known in-character as 'Sub-divisions', groups are player-run organizations that serve the same function as guilds in other games. Groups have access to a private group channel, and earn experience and freecred for the group as they play. This group experience earns the group levels, which can be traded for perks and bonuses.

Rank

 1: Change someone's Rank 

(Leader Only) Ranks are special titles used in group chat. The Leader of the group must keep the title of "Leader". All other titles are just for show.

2: Remove someone from the group. 

(Leader Only) Removes a member from the group.

(Leader Only) Sets the Message Of The Day that group members will see when first sending a message to the group channel after they log in.

6: The current daily tax percentage on income is: ## 

(Leader Only) Sets the tax rate on freecred earned by members. The tax rate is actually 1/5th of what is shown. A set tax of '10' will effectively be a 2% tax on earnings. I.E. - A player earning 1.0 Freecred from a fight will see .98 freecred go to their bank, while 0.02 freecred will go to the group bank.

7: The current JP Tax percentage on adventuring is: ## 

(Leader Only) Sets the tax rate on XP earned by members. The tax rate is actually 1/5th of what is shown. A set tax of '20' will effectively be a 4% tax on XP earnings. I.E. - A player earning 1.0 XP from a fight will see .96 freecred go to their bank, while 0.04 XP will go to the group level.

The group has 115.96 XP, and is level 18. It has 6228.1 freecred in its reserves. 

No option. Just displays the group XP, Level, and freecred in reserves.

Toggles notification of group members logging on.

10: Buy/Upgrade Improvements 

(Leader Only) Purchase group upgrades.

11: Send a group wide mail. 

(Leader Only) Send a mail to all group members.

12: Leave the Group. 

Just what it says on the tin. Probably shouldn't do this if you're a leader.

Group Upgrades

Group Upgrades are purchasable by group leaders. If the group bank does not contain enough freecreds, then the remaining cost will be deducted from the purchasers personal account.
