I hope this is the right place to post this question. I've spent much of the afternoon trying to track down information about religion mechanics in Mortal Online. I cannot seem to find the original source where Mats mentions the system. All I can find is a 6/28/09 interview on MO Radio saying that most of the system will not be in for release.
My question, though, is pretty basic: how would a Friar go about trying to convert people not in the guild? There seems to be very little incentive for a player in another guild to convert to our religion when doing so will hurt their own guild's religion. It seems likely that many (if not all) guilds will have their own religion. So will religious conversion go hand-in-hand with guild recruitment?
Another possibility would be for allied guilds to share the same religion, so the Friar's job would be to try and convince friendly guilds to convert. But here, too, I run into the same problem: if the friendly guild does not convert as an entire unit, then those individuals who do convert will be hurting their guild. So the conversion of friendly guilds seems to be a top-down decision best handled by top-level negotiations by guild diplomats or the Bishop.
Is there any way to preserve the Friar's role in converting other players?
