I agree.. though I've been playing mostly for the social aspect, I do wish there were a bit more things to do.
So what exactly is the major consensus on what the update actually is? Towering currently consist of opposing guilds vying for the flag, which in the past was made much more competitive due to the 1k hour hat prize. A guild is made up of a max of 25 players, each able to ally with up to 5 other guilds. Each player can also be tagged with up to 5 different guilds. What is going to change?
