The patch seems to work, despite the lag spikes. It's a good patch. Guild reknown rocks, and we are in the top 20... awright, it's 19, but hey, we were totally inactive a month ago!
I am currently notifying some of our former guildies that we have revived the guild. One other note, the lower end for the guild level is now lvl 25, to take advantage of how guild renown works. More soon.
