Diplomacy

Everyone needs friends, even entire guilds. However Diplomacy can go very bad VERY quickly.

 

As an example, a guild I was in in Server Nova had a major incident. We trusted our MDP mates (Mutual Defense Pact) as we should have. An MDP is when 2 guilds swear allegiance to each other, usually to the end of the server they will be sworn to fight for each other, defend each other, and supply the other with trades and jump gates.

Our guild had built up 3billion in fleet on the blob but in the middle of the night our allies launched their billions of fleet at ours and destroyed us.. things like this can be found on the forum and things specifically about this incident can be found HERE

In general though, diplomacy is key! Just like out here in the real world, one team can never win alone…
