Okay, so since I've been volunteered (thanks Agony!) to be the point person on the guildhouse idea, let me throw out a few things that I believe we should see before moving on the issue.

What is your guild? "Misty and Kelli's Guild of Horny Tieflings" ain't gonna cut it. Is there a reason for them being together, and moreso is there a reason they need their own place? For instance, a group of demon worshippers would not really need their own place, as the Temple of the Abyss suffices for such a thing.

Who is in your guild? I like Darker Thought's concept of having a large group of people; we don't want to grow the server area list for every couple of people who want their secret hideout, and I also don't want people to start looking at these potential guildhouses as "proof my character is awesome".

How does your guild fit into Sigil? Are they something unique, or should they be tied to something already in place? The "We Break Things Club" would make far more sense as Doomguards, while "Marvin's Melancholy Mopers" sound like Bleakers to me.

WHY does your guild need its own place? This is really the big one to me; if it's goig to lead to interesting RP, and even moreso involve people who aren't part of the orignal group who put it together, it's going to be considerably more interesting to me.

And finally, the "key" issue. On other servers, I found that groups of friends who had an area they could lock to exclude others from tended to wind up spending tons of time in that area. Could be ERP, could be sneaky stuff, but nobody wants to log on to the server, see that there's twenty people on... and then discover eighteen of them are locked up inside "Bobby's Barbarian Club". This is especially significant with the thought of new players who would likely see that and leave, never to return. I would personally need an extremely good reason to allow this.

Now, I'm also going to state one thing here. I am NOT going to be the only decider on this idea. Guilds are going to be considered in the same was that special race requests are: discussion by the DM team as a group.

Oh, and just a reminder: don't ask me to build your guildhouse. Ain't gonna happen.

We danced among the lightning bolts,

Aw but I had the blueprints for this awesome penthouse-...

Nevermind.

But yeah, ill muse on forming a guild and how best to drag everyone into it and make club-awesome for the entirety of the server.

Everyone into it? Hell, then everyone is going to be cooped up inside the same house. Guess Khazeet can finally close then. :lol:

Still, a penthouse eh? Hmmm... you could drop a few NPCs in there, you know, Miss July, Miss August, etc. <_<

I got so many ideas for an orc crack house and meat parlor on the edge of the slags that it's unreal.

Iron Tusk is a little quiet right now. Maybe next time it flares up with some action I might jump on this idea.
