Local Guilds

I don't like this idea, the Leaders would of course get to choose their Ranks by themselves

They'd get to choose the requirements for the rank up and the names for the ranks i was just making an example of how a guild could set it up. Hell if they wanted it could be all manual promotions.

I like the concept but I dont think it would work for guilds who don't have PK and combat as their directive, think JF.

You'd put different parameters that the guild can choose to determine ranks.


Could have time as saint, length in guild, spar rating. Or whatever modifiers on your ranks.

That's what we can have party guilds for!

Limiting the amount of guilds could potentially kill the server.

If we won't be able to maintain NBK (which isn't too active at the moment, partly because of the lack of old content), I and probably most of the old members, wouldn't even bother visiting.
I assume the same applies to other guilds.

How about creating 3 total different Guilds from all the Guilds on Classic right now?

Just an idea

The tragedy of losing a few players who make a monthly appearance.

NBK isn't that inactive, and there should be a few other guilds alike.
Besides, if there are 60 players who make a monthly appearance (though I assume occasional players make an appearance more often), they stand for an average of 2 players a day - over 10% of the playercount.

Also, there are plenty of old players who tend to return for a period of time once in a while. I wouldn't consider these players nugatory.

Maybe we can define what guild activity is, but I believe it's when guilds actually do **** together. NBK and a lot of guilds are not like that and haven't been for a while.

If global guilds aren't being taken care of on the global level, then what's the point of supporting them? There's only 1 guild on Classic who actively does things together. That's sad.

Yes it is.
As long as we can't control Guild max members etc. we cannot set up "good" systems for them.

If this is done, that one guild that actually does things together won't be taking part either. We don't recruit at the moment and don't want to recruit either, but would I have to if there was a limit to 3 guilds on the entire server? We'd have two big competitors, and people would be forced to pick one of them through lack of actual choice. What if people don't like how the guilds are? The guild leaders? The guild members? How they're ran? It doesn't make way for choice and is excludes both players of the server and players off the server. The biggest fault is that it doesn't allow people to create their own factions based on rivalries, and it will ultimately make the people on the server want to flock to whatever is the strongest guild (not because of the guild itself, it's people, or its history) like they do on Zodiac with their nations, and Era with their gangs, rendering the guilds themselves individually useless.

Make your own guilds (or even join one!!) if you're that upset about the lack of activity in them.
