Heeding Ye Xiu's words, Chen Guo said no more and simply sat on the side, silently watching Ye Xiu's actions.

Ye Xiu first meticulously tallied the levels and classes of the players who had already joined the guild. Then, he began to browse the list of applications.

Happy currently was only a Level 1 guild, with a maximum membership of just one hundred. There were 24 classes in Glory. Furthermore, due to different skill preferences, distinct styles could emerge. For example, a Ghostblade could be either a Zhan Gui (Blade Demon) or a Zhen Gui (Warding Ghost), almost two entirely different classes. Another example was the Elementalist; with the four elements of Ice, Fire, Light, and Darkness, there were not enough skill points to max out every skill. Usually, players would select two elemental branches. With such combinations, there could be even more variations than a Ghostblade.

Such distinctions within a class could not be discerned from just level and class alone. Therefore, Ye Xiu said that it was impossible to achieve the same balanced state as a pro team for the guild as a whole. Ye Xiu could only consider the overall direction, such as the classic Iron Triangle combination for PvE instances, when configuring the guild's composition.

How to configure the guild was something Ye Xiu did not need to consider much. After calculating the existing class composition, he quickly began accepting the applications. New members were constantly joining Happy, and the atmosphere in the channel was lively. However, Ye Xiu did not add people until the guild was full. Not to mention, Tian Qi, Yue Zhongmian, and other old friends had just left their Moon Guild. They would have to wait five days before joining a new guild, so Ye Xiu needed to save spots for them.

However, for a guild with ambitions of growth, five days was enough to level up. Players who joined the guild could receive guild missions. These missions offered a wide variety of rewards, and completing them would increase the guild's construction progress. This was like experience points for player characters. Once it reached 100%, the guild would level up. Each level increased the guild's member cap by 100 and provided more guild missions and rewards. Furthermore, at Level 5, the guild could choose its Guardian Blessing. There were many types of Guardian Blessings, but the most common choice in Glory was attribute guardians, which could boost the guild members' four core stats. From Level 5 onwards, the Guardian Blessing could be upgraded every five levels.

Many players who did not like participating in guilds would still register under a guild's name because they coveted the stat boosts from the Guardian Blessing. The big guilds, due to their higher levels, naturally had stronger Guardian Blessings. The major club guilds in the Heavenly Domain could easily reach the current guild level cap of 100. They then possessed the top-tier Level 20 Guardian Blessing.

As for ordinary player guilds, unlike the club guilds which could easily surpass the member cap by absorbing their fans, and whose members possessed high loyalty and cohesion, these general guilds would always encounter various problems after developing to a certain stage due to their large size, either falling apart or stagnating. Only a very few could grow all the way to the level of a club guild, but in terms of strength and influence, they still could not compare to the club guilds.

Ye Xiu's Happy Guild had only just started in the new server, and there was a long way to go. However, being able to easily fill the Level 1 guild's member cap right from the start was quite a high starting point. This was only limited by the Level 1 guild's member cap. Otherwise, with Lord Grim's current reputation in the tenth server, no one knew how many people could join at once. The list of applications for the Happy Guild was so long that it was impossible to see the end, let alone count.

Even the Blue Brook Guild and Tyrannical Ambition, large guilds with club backgrounds, could not compare to this situation. After all, the new server had too many newcomers who were just starting to play Glory. These guilds also needed to rebuild their reputation. Although with their backgrounds, it would not be a problem to immediately recruit enough members to fill a Level 1 guild, they could not match the enthusiasm of these applications.

The various guilds frantically fought over dungeon records, all for the sake of possessing the position that Lord Grim currently held in the players' hearts. And the wave of enthusiasm triggered by Happy Guild's establishment precisely illustrated the importance of dungeon records in developing a guild.

The members had already been screened. At this moment, more than ninety people were online. Having just joined the guild, they were full of enthusiasm. The guild channel was buzzing with activity. Players were already forming cliques, some shouting to go to the arena for PvP, some forming teams to run dungeons, and some looking for people to help them with difficult quests... As the guild leader, Ye Xiu really wanted to say a few words about the newly established guild, but he couldn't find an opportunity to interject.

"Hey, hey," Ye Xiu finally typed, followed by a long string of emoticons. With super-high hand speed, he instantly cleared the screen. All the messages disappeared without a trace, and the screen was filled with Lord Grim's name and various random emoticons.

The guild members were shocked. Everything instantly quieted down, and the guild channel became very clean.

"How many of you are just starting to play Glory?" Ye Xiu asked.

A long string of replies flooded in. In an instant, Ye Xiu couldn't even find his own question. However, from the scrolling speed, he could roughly estimate the number of people. It was almost...one hundred percent newcomers.

Ye Xiu was not surprised by this result.

If they were old Glory players, then at this stage of exploring a new server, they would probably have already sharpened their heads and rushed to the club-backed guilds. In the new server, it was not too difficult to join these guilds. Or, like Tian Qi and Yue Zhongmian, their friends came to the new server together, and they had basically already decided to establish a guild together.

At this moment, those who could apply to join the guild as soon as the announcement was made were at least scattered players without a guild. The chances that these guys were newcomers was undoubtedly very high.

Seeing a wave of newcomers raising their hands, Ye Xiu also adopted an instructive tone, saying it sentence by sentence.

"Now our guild is officially established."

"But because it's only Level 1, it can only add up to 100 people. There are still many players who want to join us but can't."

"In the guild, everyone can receive guild missions."

"The rewards for guild missions are good, and after completing them, you can also get a certain amount of guild construction progress, which helps the guild level up."

"Only when the guild level is high, will there be more people."

"Starting from Level 5, you can choose a Guardian Blessing, which is very helpful for improving your strength."

Sure enough, these guild basics that were very basic in the eyes of Glory players were not well known by these new players who had not participated in guild construction. After hearing Ye Xiu's words, many people had already begun looking for the location to accept guild missions. Newcomers were always full of curiosity about things they had never experienced. They immediately called out to each other to do guild missions, and the enthusiasm they showed was enough to make any guild leader cry tears of gratitude.
