Guilds/Alliances

[physikal]

I really hope a form of guilds gets implemented into this game.

A couple of ideas I had for starters is just a basic guild/alliance tab where you can manage your members and organize their role (i.e. Leader/Officer/Member). Then on the Scribe Wall, along with General | Trade | Nome you have Guild/Alliance chat. This would be perfect and I'm assuming easy for someone like Reed to develop.

Later it would be awesome if your guild could level by either the members contributing goods to the "Guild Hall" or something. Some of the benefits would be maybe faster ship times to guild members. Or just have a "Guild Vault" where members can send goods to and no matter the distance, ship time from the guild vault is a standard 3hrs, or whatever TM's hearts desire.

Just some thoughts. Just a basic chat/friends list for all of us RL friends to start sticking together would be great. Doesn't have to be fancy. The ally list is currently "cutting it" though.

Hmm, I don´t like the idea of guilds. There were no guilds in ancient egypt ;)

You can form any alliance you want, communicating through scrolls. This also feels more historically accurate, me thinks...

Optional chat channels would be nice, but aside from that we really don't need guilds. They tend to turn everything into RvB, and the whole trade thing would totally go out the window if people just started clumping up into self-sufficient guilds.

Sure there were, they just happened to be different then the "traditional" medieval guild!

On Topic i think it'd be nice to have them, private chat rooms with your friend, work out how your gonna take over the trade in emeralds or something :p

Actually, I would like to have so that you could make like a group or something. for easier communicating and trading, and automated trade too!

I think they had clans, rather than guilds. I saw one mentioned for a military organization. The webpage said the group was of some other ethnicity, and settled in Egypt.

I'm think the special storage and so forth would be bad, because that would make delivery times different.

It would be nice to have a chat of our own. It might overload the server, though, to have private scribe walls for every group of two or more people who decided to band together. Yes, each player would only have one additional, but the server would have to keep a running log of all of them.

there is a chat room for NO, and from it you cam break off into private chats, I do it at least once or twice a day.
