A persistent player organization created or recognized by the game itself, with a stable membership, a life beyond one session, a shared identity, functions, and goals.

Assessed with methodology module 0.4. The dimensions are independent and do not produce a single score.

Present

research draft · methodology 0.4 · September 2, 2026 · The assessment uses the existing default product-line boundary; the cited mechanic evidence does not independently establish Steam availability, server availability, or platform state on 2026-09-02.

Official evidence establishes the recorded persistent player-organization boundary for RIFT and supports these component results: identity and communication 1, shared assets and infrastructure 2, game integration 2. Unknown functions, adoption, and dependency were not inferred.

Who participates:: A player joins the guild; the cited product boundary does not resolve a narrower identity unit.
Group structure:: The documented collective contour combines organization-owned space with shared guild resources.

Assessment scope

Access cost:: Unknown
Product horizon:: Unknown

Independent dimensions

Depth:: at most 2 of 5 — Utility layer
What limits the result:: Governance and permissions: Level 2 is an upper bound because the cited evidence does not establish governance; a stronger level was not inferred.
Core experience relevance:: Unknown
Observed adoption:: Unknown— No compatible count of unique mechanic participants and active eligible players was found for the same observation window.
Structural expectation:: Unknown
Player dependency:: Unknown
Change direction:: Not assessed
Assessment type:: Unknown
Confidence:: High— The cited material supports the recorded present classification and each linked substantive claim. Unstated adoption, dependency, and functions remain unknown.
