Theres a LOT, but first welcome back.

I'm ill equipped to discuss everything, but since April of 2017 we have had a couple major community events and lore events.

• There was the Free Kingdom Event which saw the establishment of a new kingdom in Luna (North American East)
• There was the searing plague event which saw the community wage against an encroaching disease
• There were several holiday themed lore events
• We are currently engaged in Map Selection, choosing the starting continent for each server.

I'm skimming a lot, in the hopes others will fill in the gaps, but the amount of lore and community participation has been quite high.

As for being trigger happy, I'd wait until black friday roles around if you're considering a package. If you are serious about playing, then yes, yes the packages are worth it regardless of the package level. I for one have a mayor package but plan on upgrading to count if it's available and the price is right.

Asking for a "catch me up on everything post" is just not viable.

I have been toying with the idea of setting up a where we are at post and trying to cram everything into it but it would need to be very thorough including what used to be true and what small changes may have happened.

I say just start looking into things.

Best tool I learned about was how to search the forums and dev journals.

 site:https://chroniclesofelyria.com/forum/ (key words)  

That will search the forums using google.

 site:https://chroniclesofelyria.com/blog/ (key words)

That will search the Developer journals.

Edit to add example.

site:https//chroniclesofelyria.com/forum Animal Husbandry  

This will search the forums, via google, looking for the words Animal and Husbandry

Just dive straight in. Check out this post from Elbereth to find some places to start and if you have specific questions use the search function.

Do know that some information inevitably gets outdated so another good way to learn is start reading the Dev Journals from newest back.

Good luck!

If you mean the page Elyria.de the unfortunately was closed. Since the DSGVO requirement was simply too extensive.

I would recommend the wiki

How can such a guild be 'a well established guild'? I'll explain my teasing question below.

To the first poster in this thread:

Guilds in Elyria are defined in the original, medieval sense. Not in the way that has become the default definition for groups of players banding together to form ooc managed organizations that cover more than a trade or related group of trades. The guild referred to in the preceding post can certainly be considered 'well established' based on that default, non-Elyrian, definition. It can however be considered a potential threat to any Elyrian local government to have such powerful, much encompassing guilds around, with military objectives and even civic internal institutions. Their objectives and span of control can interfere in a very significant and undesirable way with the local civic rule, and in case of the example here, of local military rule. Therefore I highly question the viability of guilds based on such principles within the Elyrian civic society. Going by earthly history, such guilds may end up infiltrating and eventually overtaking local rule. Elyrian rulers better be very careful.

I am part of an organized group. We plan to have a at least a base association or guild, depending on how they are actually implemented in the game. Despite the game not being out in any regards, we are still very organized and often more organized than other factions we have come across (including many kingdoms). We may have come together under CoE but we have certainly expanded and talk about a variety of topics, bringing all of our fields of experience and perspective into conversations.

Well, that is nice. What is your point?
