This sounds like a good idea. However there are some spelling mistakes. "The final spot that your guild will occupy depends on how far you and other guild members have gotten in the current Expedition." should read "The final spot that your guild will occupy depends on how far you and other guild members have got in the current Expedition." The word "gotten" is not an English word.

"There are a few participation rules. Fist of all, only guilds with at least 3 members who have reached Iron Age," should read "There are a few participation rules. First of all, only guilds with at least 3 members who have reached Iron Age,"

It's an American word. Nowadays foreigners tend to be taught American (which does sound very odd when you hear diplomats talking on the radio with an American drawl rather than their own native German or Italian accent...)

Actually... 'gotten' is an archaic Late Middle English term - the past participle of got. Rarely used now except in the phrase "íll-gotten gains"

But I agree with Nobbie.... it should be got - Inno certainly made a 'fist' of this text :)

If INNO should use got or gotten depends on whether they want to use english English or american English.
I think they mostly use the American version in spelling.

as inno are a german company and will write everything in their own language then translate into english its perfectly understandable for some words to be imperfect

lets say you write a message in english and translate into german........ im sure it wont be 100% perfect to every german person but they will fully
understand the content of it

uk enlish and american english words may on occasion translate slightly different into german so i think folks are nitpicking here
