First and foremost I want to say that the implementation of the guild ship was a fantastic idea and in my opinion is working very well. I also enjoy the guild ranking system that has been put into action as well as it adds a whole different aspect to the game.
One of the things I have noticed with the guid ships is that it is mostly going to be used to setup buff vendors or maybe even some shop vendors (like a bartender, etc...) which means that except for maybe an occasional guild meeting there will not be must of a reason to linger on the guild ship.
My Proposal:
Add a gaming table that can be interactive with a certain number of players. Maybe put in some of the following that can be played by 1-4 players or something.
> Poker - Texas hold 'em, 5 card draw, etc...
> Others as I think of them.
Anyway when the players approach the small table in a corner of the guild ship one of the players could select the game his group will play and spend some time doing that. Players would be able to gamble with there in game gold or platinum in a poker game lets say.
What say you all to something like this?
