"It was finally built."
Shi Feng looked at the system notification, unable to contain his excitement.
In God's Domain, cities were nothing like towns. Guild towns merely attracted players and made money through the shops within them. That income might be enough for a small guild, but for large guilds with hundreds of thousands or even several hundred thousand members, it was nothing more than a drop in the bucket—not to mention the steep monthly system management fees every guild town had to pay.
A basic town cost 5,000 Gold per month.
An intermediate town cost 15,000 Gold per month.
An advanced town cost 50,000 Gold per month.
If a guild could not pay these fees, the system would freeze its management rights over the town. If it still failed to pay within three months, it would completely lose those rights, and the system would then host an auction to sell the town.
Moreover, aside from the monthly management fee, towns also had expenses such as hiring NPCs.
That was why major guilds always deliberated carefully before establishing towns. Even if a guild had sufficient funds, it would not establish too many towns.
Guild cities cost even more. The monthly system management fee alone could drive an ordinary guild insane, as even a basic city required a payment of 200,000 Gold every month. Forget one month—even ordinary large guilds could not gather that much Gold in two or three months.
Unless the guild gave up on development and poured every Gold it earned into the city.
However, compared to towns, cities had far more sources of income. Aside from collecting Gold from the shops within the city, they could also charge an entry fee—something guild towns absolutely did not have.
As long as a guild city could gather enough players,
