If you switch to local guilds and cap it at 3, for example, you might promote guild activity on the server, but global guilds outside the server will be hesitant to come here since they can't represent their guild.

I know that I was hesitant to join any local main guilds on Era (not that they tried to recruit me,) because I didn't really care about them. I was far happier in the local party guilds I was in with friends.

The point is, when you force people to join guilds they don't care about, you might not bring in many people from other servers. If you keep it global and add content, they might be inspired to come and stake their guild claim on classic.

I think there should be at least 6-7 local guilds.

There can also be those party guilds as well.

No guilds even come to Classic so gg.

what will happend to mod fort?

[MysticX2X]

How much guild content can you add? MoD Fort was redone to keep it relatively competitive but it failed. UN tried initializing a town takeover system last year, which failed hardcore. Even their castle wars is slowly deteriorating in activity. Global guilds are dying in General, and if global staff won't do much to help clean up global guilds, then what good are they for? Local guilds can be monitored and ensure there is a limited number to let Classic remain competitive somewhat instead of just haivng 1 guild. Honestly, when was the last time you've done something fun and competitive with your guild that wasn't a monthly spar or some teaming up in events?

When was the last time another guild had 4-5 members online outside of a guild monthly tournament? Not very often. Why? There is nothing for guilds to do, outside of capturing MoD, which grants no benefits other than being able to gloat.

If content is added with a reward system, I'm sure guild activity is going to increase because guild activity would be rewarded.

Gloating was what guilds were built upon. I mean having fun is also what guilds did things. It's not always about receiving some prize item. I for one know that I didn't join a guild/participate in situations with them just for a "prize reward".

There's not even much you can award a guild without making it unfair. A trophy certainly won't give much incentive if we want to get on the giving rewards level.

Yeah, and that was cool. Ten years ago.

[MysticX2X]

More like 3+ years ago. I even seen occurrences like that in 2007.

Why not instead of limiting a max # of guilds just say you need 10 active members (active defined later) to keep it open.

That way as the playercount grows or shrinks it works out.

It's something that would need defined by whoever works out a guild system. I'm not involved in the project so I have no idea how many guilds or the tolerance on recruiting noobs from another server to boost your activity.

I would rather they get an active guild player that is trusted, and reintroduce the guild admin position, giving them to power to influence and give the support to global guilds that it really hasnt had in a while.
