I understand that Tig is trying to make guilds have a point by suggesting an events server. As a long time guild leader though I don't think that this is the road to take to improve the guild community.

Guild strength, bragging rights and membership comes from competing with its rivals. This makes the whole concept of guilds more community based vs event based. With an events server you will end up not having the guild loyalty that the old system has now. People will just switch to the guild that wins more often which will in turn make this no more valuable to guilds than Nations are to Zodiac. Biggest guild wins.... big deal. No pride in that at all.

I think if you take a close look at the longest lasting guilds you will find that each and every one of them has a core group of loyal members that wouldn't jump ship regardless of the outcome. These people are highly community based while the events server would just add cannon fodder to the guilds. If you want an events server just make it a nations server and you'll have the same outcome.
