Universal "Common" Guild... Guild TURBINE

[awar1234]

I would like to suggest a universal guild run by no one. No leader. No officer. No drama. No begging to get in. Anyone can join Automatically.

Of course this guild would have massive members so guild renown would be small....

Basic rules...
1. Anyone could join. First time (initiation) fee of 1000 Plat and 25 TP....(Korthos???)
2. Ships and Buffs bought Automatically as guild progresses.
3. To pay for it, each member pays automatic monthly "dues". Could be xxx Plat or 25 TP or both.
4. Members have option to donate TP for gold seal better buffs. Astral Diamonds donated for better ships.
5. Members get kicked after xxx time inactive...
6. If member cannot pay monthly dues, locked out. (reinstated when you have the dues.)
7. You smarter peeps add more basic "fair/universal" rules.

------------------------------------

And for Private Guilds.....
I would also like to see A ONE BUTTON HIT ALL BUFFS. (gold seal TP) Enter ship Click on "ALL BUFFS" statute and move on... starting at level 40 guild.

Sounds like potential for drama on numbers 3,5,and 6. With no leader or officers, who puts up the shrines, collects the dues, kicks folks, etc? Why kick people anyway?

I like the concept, but I don't think you've thought this through quite enough.

There was a suggestion a while back for a Turbine sponsored newbie guild run by helpful vets who could answer questions and run teaching runs that I liked but there are plenty of renown-for-buff guilds already out there.

DDO is very complex for new players. If we had an official starter guild that was staffed with knowledgable people, it would be great.

why bother when theres several guilds per server thaty will take just anyone anyway. what would be better imo is a list of all guilds and a way to apply to them rather than just be invited (maybe have an option to not be on the list if youd prefer)

Allow VIPs to create a guild charter. Premiums and f2p to purchase one with TP. Let the guilds work their way up by acquiring renown without a stupid decay system.

That's what I've started here. It auto updates the rosters, and guild officers and leaders are welcome to send me recruiting info and other information to add to it.

It would be easier to just upgrade the house P favor giver.
Plat for buffs with appropriate favor.

Make it so guild slot items can be equipped by anyone, SO LONG AS THE CRYSTAL SLOT IS NOT FILLED.

This alone would solve the most common problem of not being in a guild.

Let the guilds work their way up by acquiring renown without a stupid decay system.

And this would eliminate the other commonly complained about issue.

Ew. No thank you.

A free to join never increasing server hosted level 1 guild without even a guild chat channel would do it for me. Just enough to work around the empty guild slot issue that the code doesn't seem to be flexible enough to fix.

This or close would actually work. Just high enough lv to communicate easily. Stick a bot in that recogonized certain phrases and pastes auto-responses. OR Actually PAY a Customer Service personal to be helpful and friendly with :Basic: DDO information. (focus on teaching the location of information)
(Is Guildchat channel on visible default?)
Perhaps with a small but eyecatching "Introduction to Guilds" tutorial shortly Before/During/After Korthos...

(On a personal taste note, Can we also have global warnings about Blind Guild invites and the possible mess of a guild you are sure to find?)

I actually support this idea. I don't see what the downside would be for having this implemented for those who play actively but don't want to participate in a high-renown guild.

I agree here.

I don't miss ship buffs and high level navigators (that much)

But large slot items are a pretty big advantage.

Crafting changed guild slots from a lucky rare thing to something all of your characters could easily have many of.

Tell me about your guildhood.. Show me on this doll.

To the mass guild thing, no.

To the pick-up all buffs on a guild ship, absolutely /signed. This makes complete sense and the novelty of running round the whole ship has long since lost its shine.

Also not sure of the benefit of an hour max on them either, death removal makes sense as it makes you fight more strategically to not die and lose your buffs but why have any timer at all? It just makes the rest of your group wait while you go to re-buff, assuming you need them.
