Squad
A key aspect of Massively Multiplayer Online Games is of course their huge number of players. At any time, there are hundreds and thousands of people connected to a persistent world online. One feature that has become almost universal to the genre is the concept of ‘guilds’ or 'clans’. Generally these serve as an informal social structure for the players, a collection of familiar, friendly faces with whom you form a casual acquaintance and occasionally play together.
The Battleground Europe squad system has both similarities and striking differences from the 'standard’ MMOG guild pattern. Squads can be any size from a small handful of friends to a complex organization with hundreds of members, external websites, and their own internal sub-organizations. While anyone can strike out on their own (typically called Lone Wolfing) you will find that the realism inherent in the Battleground Europe simulation model makes grouping not only more fun, but nearly essential to accomplishing anything significant.
Don’t worry too much about finding or joining a squad, within a few game sessions you’ll be asked if you are in one yet and if not if you’d like to join one.
