Multiple Guild Suggestion

[Ninja666]

I'd like to be able to join two guilds. That would mean having two guild chat channels and being able to pop two different guild tags. That way you would be able to dip into a large guild talent pool and be able to form smaller roleplay groups with your friends if you wanted too. It would sure spice up PUGs by being able to call your self "Apple Dumpling Gang" or whatever.

Also, no other MMORPG has that and it would be one more thing that make DDO the best!

I say a big thumbs down from me you need to pick a guild and stick with it. been a guild leader several times and an officer even more. One character one guild, if you want to be in more then one guild then make another character and get him in another guild.
But thats just my opinion

Or how about we look at the opposite end of the spectrum for a minute:

-You want multiple guilds per character.
-I want one guild per account (/server)

How would you suggest reconciling the two player wants if you were a developer?

I don't think an individual character should be able to belong to more than one guild. However, if guilds agree to an alliance, I would like to be able to see the guild chats from all the respresented guilds.

You could even have it pop-up with <character name><guild name> in the guild chat to know which guild they are speaking from. So your one guild can coordinate with several others.

Or have one chat channel for them all. Like in City of Heros/Villians if your supergroup/guilds in an alliance, you can chat to all the players on in all those guilds at once through a special channel separate from your guild/supergroup/whatever

That is what I'd like to see. I'd love a game that really sits down and thinks out all the possible usefull social relationships and communication systems and puts it into the game.

Guilds + aliances + special interest clubs etc...

-You want multiple guilds per character.

+ join 1 guild and make good use of your friends list

-I want one guild per account (/server)

+ sign up each character you have on that server

easy!


the system in place lets you join 9+ different guilds if you want and your friends list can keep you in contact with those from another guild when you are not running the character that is in that guild.

Or if you want to, have 1 guild and sign all your guys up.

i think his point was not that they change it to meet his needs, but that as it stands, its a happy medium. If someone wants all of their characters in one guild, they can, but if one wants his various characters in various guilds, they can as well.

AAAHHhhh yes...could be.

And unknowingly I agreed with him.

Better than multiple guilds would be a few functions to allow players to create chat channel independent of any guild or party.

That means, Bob comes along and makes a channel BobSales, he invites anyone who wants to buy from him into this channel, and they go ahead talking until those players quit the channel, or he kicks them. Obviously this would need a new menu option on the client so players can control which window gets this new chat text, but other games handle that sort of thing just fine.
