The houses They will be arranged in neighborhoods of approximately fifty placeswhich will allow players to live nearby, collaborate and share rewards. The neighborhoods will be considered stays, but they will also be persistent for your neighbors to remain in the coming years (or until some of you move). Each player may have a house, but the communities may have their own neighborhood. There will be two types:
Public neighborhoods that the servers of the game will be responsible for creating and maintaining according to the needs.
Private neighborhoods created by groups of friends or brotherhoods. These groups will be its inhabitants and will be in charge of their progress and customization of space.
For this characteristic, the first confirmed elements indicate, for example, that Households will have different styles according to the faction.

The producer expresses her gratitude for the response of the players who, through the purchase of the Revenue pack, contributed to fight against Duchenne’s muscular dystrophy.
“The generosity of the players has been incredible,” he says. “This year we have raised more than 2 million dollars, something that reflects the significant support for the cause. Reven’s pack not only helped to raise awareness, but also paid tribute to Mats Steen, whose history touched the hearts of many. ” Steen, a Norwegian player who suffered from Duchenne’s muscular dystrophy, was the inspiration for the creation of the pack.
