I want to reach as many people as possible, so I guess I'll choose the most
universal languages to ensure that everyone understands, so let's switch..

Bonjour mesdames et messieurs et tous les autres! Bonan tagon viroj kaj
virinoj kaj...

Okay. Maybe French and Esperanto aren't universal enough? Fine, let's stick
with English and see if we get better results. I am addressing both the
Warrior Brotherhood, better known as Monks and the other evil religious
brotherhood, which is a secret, so I better not mention them by name or
they will send an assassin after me.

As you may have learned, or some of you in fact may have not, but believe it
or not, it's going to be the same newspost in both cases, so I'll just
continue typing this and you just adapt to the shocking news as we move
along. So what are we doing talking about anyway?

So, I've been working with something called sects, which is without a better
description "a school of martial arts" within a guild. In order to join one,
you must reach level 20 of your local martial artist guild (currently two
available in the game) and then choose a sect of your choosing by using
your guild's sect command, which can be accessed with '<your guild> sect'.

Sects teach special skills some of which are unique and some of which may
be taught by more than one sect. Despite this, sects are individual and
sect progress is not shared. This means that if you learn a skill in one
sect, it doesn't mean you know the same skill in the other sect. I could
go on with all kinds of technical details, but to keep this post short, I
simply won't. Talk to the people who have been testing this stuff before,
read helpfiles and figure out by yourself. You may gain some hints how to
find sects by consulting local NPCs at guilds and so on.

There's one more thing that is MUCHO IMPORTANTE to realize. Sects are
currently heavily in TESTING MODE, which means that recently progression
in the sects has been on the slow side and not everything will appear
comme il faut. Several balancing acts may happen in the future, and it
will take some time for me to get these correct as I'm currently MUCHO BUSY
when it comes to time resources.

THUS, consider this: Sect testing is now open for everybody. It may be a good
experience, it may be a bad experience, but this is pretty much up to you.
If you like sects, feel free to join. If you don't, you can leave it at will.
There may be bugs, it may be kinda be a work in progress, so it's kinda
your call if you want to dedicate your time to this. In any case, if you
join, any feedback will be appreciated and if you encounter bugs, hopefully
I can find some time to fix them.

And thus with all the disclaimers I share my creations to you. I'd like to
be optimistic that any new creation automatically makes the world a better
place, but as we speak, I'm watching the second semifinal of the Eurovision
Song Contest 2024, which sort of nullifies my statement consecutively every
four minutes, so I really cannot make such claims. Anyway, have fun.
