Guilds Pre-Alpha - Early Server Testing

Guilds is a Hytale server built around long-term guild PvP, territorial warfare, and player-driven economy. We're currently in Pre-Alpha testing, which gives early players a chance to experience and influence core systems before launch.

What Pre-Alpha Means

Pre-Alpha is an extremely early development phase. We're testing server infrastructure and core mechanics. Many features are limited or incomplete. Gameplay will evolve significantly as we build toward launch.

The main purpose right now is stability testing and gathering player feedback. Systems will expand further once Hytale releases its official API and modding tools.

Current State: Infrastructure setup, basic systems implementation, early player testing

What to Expect: Limited features, frequent updates, potential resets, opportunities to influence development direction

Core Systems in Development

We're focusing on three main pillars that define the Guilds experience:

Guild System

• Creation and management tools
• Officer assignments and permissions
• Guild bank and shared storage
• Land claiming and territory control
• Power system and progression tracking

Economy System

• Player-driven marketplace
• Trading mechanics
• Resource distribution

Safe Zones

• Protected areas for trading
• NPC interactions
• Non-combat social spaces

These systems are functional but will receive substantial improvements based on testing feedback and Hytale's API capabilities.

Why Join Pre-Alpha

Early access provides several advantages. You get direct influence over gameplay mechanics, economy balancing, and guild features through feedback. The community is smaller and more tight-knit during this phase.

Early Supporter Benefits:

• Input on core gameplay systems
• Experience with mechanics before general launch
• Established presence when the server goes live
• Early access to guild management tools

Pre-Alpha players will understand the meta, economy, and strategies before the wider player base arrives at launch.

Current Limitations

Be aware that Pre-Alpha has restrictions:

• Features are incomplete or missing
• Potential server wipes during major updates
• Bugs and performance issues
• Mechanics subject to significant changes

This testing phase is for players interested in the development process, not those looking for a polished experience.

Join Testing

We're looking for players interested in competitive guild gameplay and willing to provide constructive feedback during development.
