Should guilds with 0% activity be disbanded?

[Ibonic]

This is not a guarantee that they will or won't be, especially since I haven't fully discussed it with Unixmad yet. But I know some of you are complaining constantly about all of the inactive guilds, so I would like to know what the majority of your opinions are for this partial¹ solution.

{self-comment: It would be nice if we had some kind of global in-game voting system to cover more players, hmm...}

Anyway,
Do you think guilds with 0% activity should be disbanded?
If so, after how long? 2 weeks, a month, 6 months?

If this is implemented, I would like to have some kind of warning system in place so that the guild leader and other members have a chance at preventing it. I believe this has been suggested elsewhere in the forums.


Please keep in mind that I am aware of other guild issues and that I want to take care of them all in time, but this thread isn't meant to discuss them right now.
Let's try for one thing at a time and maybe they'll eventually get done.

¹ It's possible that in the future we could do something additional such as require a certain number of members to be on tag per month, which was also suggested. But again, one thing at a time for now.

[Chris]

After 1-2 months of inactivity.

[Crono]

So a guild with tons of history and such would get deleted?

I don't like this.

[Crimson2005]

1 month of inactivity

[hampy]

I vote yes, after 1 month of inactivity. But the leader of the guild should be told to sort it out after say 3 weeks

[nikomi946]

I would say a 6 month time frame since many who are in college and universities often have rather long absences but do return. Or there's that nasty addiction to other online games that often keep them away for awhile.

I guess maybe this also shouldn't apply if the guild leader has an active VIP (or Gold?) subscription.

Yes, that's perfect.

This would add function to VIP (ignore the Gold, in my opinion that's for different purposes).

[Googi]

How about giving us an explanation of what "0% activity" means? How inactive does a guild have to be for its activity to go to 0%?

[kia345]

no they shouldnt be disbanded...

for the same reason as crono, the historic guilds deserve to stay. RR, meep, all them guilds =(

[Rufus]

There are currently 334 guilds with 0% activity

[Minoc]

%0 activity, after a month.
Old guilds (5 years or older) should stay regardless.

Yeah, I like that idea Minoc :]

[Darlene159]

yes, after 1 month of inactivity.

I would say that a guild leader should have another person to take over if they have to go away for an extended amount of time, if they care about the guild.

I also do not know if I agree that very old guilds should stay no matter what. Inactivity is inactivity.
Or , if the old guild is to stay, someone should be appointed acting leader, or something, to make it avtive again.

If the guild has %0 of activity, who could be appointed leader?
