Companies are purely about organisation and roleplay: there are no forced transactions, deals are still made between players. Think of it as an official "business card" for your operation, be it a taxi firm, a security company or a farm. | Companies are purely about organisation and roleplay: there are no forced transactions, deals are still made between players.

Being in a company does '''not''' change the server rules in any way. In particular, sharing a company does '''not''' give you permission to fight alongside one another, the normal rules of engagement still apply to every member individually, exactly as they would for any other player. | |||

The owner can, however, voluntarily '''hand the company over''' to another member (see ''Transferring ownership'' below).

Players join by '''applying''' to a company from the Business Registry app. A member with the '''Manage Members''' right then reviews the applications at the office and accepts or rejects them.

===Leaving a company=== | |||
Any member can '''leave''' a company they belong to at any time, from the management menu at the office. Leaving immediately gives up your membership and every right you held in that company, and frees up one of your 3 company slots. | |||
The '''owner cannot leave directly''', because a company always needs an owner. To step away, the owner must first '''transfer ownership''' to another member (see below) and can then leave like any other member, or '''disband''' the company entirely. | |||
===Transferring ownership=== | |||
The owner can hand the company over to another member. In the member list at the office, the owner selects a member and chooses '''Make owner'''. That member instantly becomes the new owner and gains every right, while the previous owner is demoted to a '''regular member''' with no special rights (the new owner can re-grant rights afterwards if they wish). | |||
This is the only way for a founder to step down without deleting the company: '''transfer ownership first, then leave'''. | |||
