as a person who is active in guilds, i voted for yes, but i have my doubts.
i was actually trying to make a server like this one for a couple years, never got anyone to think it was a good idea past the "i'll play it when it's up" type crap.
this can work out to be a good idea, if it's done correctly. the objective has to be not to make guilds move onto a new home server, but to give guilds a protected place away from their home servers in which to compete against one another in an unbiased no-lag environment, which can be done through a dedicated "guild" server; the server can be closed and opened depending on when events were being hosted - when nothing was going on, it'd be expected that the server would have 0 players on it, as everyone would be on their home servers.
the way i envisioned the server running was something like, a very small overworld which contained only a sparring complex and an underground guild wars complex. PKing can be done on the overworld, which would be a massive PK zone for wasting time, or perhaps an area for any type of PK war could be done directly on the overworld. sparring tournaments and leagues could take place in the sparring complex, which isn't hard to create at all; guild sparring isn't all that complicated to make happen if the scripts and the right people are on. the guild wars complex would obviously host a type of guild war system who's goal was to make everything equal (as graal has always been about everyone having the same amount of hearts, sword power, shield power, etc. at least for classic-type servers), except for the skill of the guild members. i know i've talked to some people about a certain type of system, and they've all said i had an awesomely worked out system, but i'm not gonna post it because i doubt it would be used or considered to be used.
the fact of the matter is, the people crying over losing players aren't thinking about this type of server in the right way: i'd love to have a closed off server in which me and my guild could battle out some other guild both in a fair guild war system and in sparring.
but, that said, i somehow doubt any of this is actually going to have any fruition, especially from some of the posts i've been reading from people who i hardly ever even see on graal, much less who are in guilds or care about guilds.
