Mechanics

Key game systems from the Mechanics Catalog. Assessment axes are independent and are not combined into a single score. An unassessed mechanic is unknown, not absent.

• Clan system

  Unknown View implementation

  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.

  For STALZONE, the reviewed EXBO material does not establish whether the observed product line contains a persistent in-game player organization with membership, identity, and collective action.

• Player economy

  Unknown View implementation

  An in-game system where player decisions materially influence at least part of the production, supply, distribution, or price of in-game value.

• Live service and updates

  Unknown View implementation

  A regular rhythm of meaningful updates, including seasons, patches, events, and a roadmap that supports a long product life.

  The retained primary item identifies a release-related fact, but the package does not contain the complete dated release series, cadence observations, support-team boundary, and persistence evidence required by section 15.13. A positive live-service result is therefore not published.

• Character progression

  Unknown View implementation

  A system for long-term character or account development through levels, skills, equipment, and specializations.

  The retained primary item identifies a progression-related fact, but the package does not establish the progression unit, cycle and reset rules, persistence, formal axes, cap, and post-cap state required by section 16.12. A positive character-progression result is therefore not published.
