# PVP & Guilds

The Lumara launch significantly changed the PVP rules in Darkrest. New laws were introduced to allow **PVP players greater freedom** to engage with each other while providing **a layer of security for RPG players**. Our PVP system now primarily utilizes the new guild system.

{% hint style="info" %}
Creating a guild is free of charge. You can make a guild in-game using the "Guild" module, which can be accessed by clicking the button next to your equipment.
{% endhint %}
