[Game] Guild membership/linking

Suggestions
#1

One Guild Per Account!

Guilds are still new and we know relatively little about it.
That being said, I would like to recommend that guilds be account-linked!
(or at least allow this as a variant for guild types)
(also possibly allow us to join several guilds per account, i.e. GW2’s system, though this is a different topic)

Pros

  • We won’t have (account-limited) alts crowding a guild. (dead characters D:)
  • We can chat with our guild members while leveling or playing alts!

Cons

  • Every account is limited to one guild. (for those who like to be in a bunch of guilds in their alts…)

Feel free to suggest other reasons why this should or should not be a thing.
I intend to make many alts (and pay through my butt), so I feel this should be a feature.

From what they have said in an interview after the CBT2 (source, best translation), they plan to restrict guild creation to the Templar class (which is currently one of the hidden / unannounced class). This means that they already are making it hard to make a guild.

I think that their aproach already makes guilds interesting :smile: .

What does it being ‘already interesting’ have to do with this suggestion, though?

#4

Woah, restricting guild creation to 1 class. That’s really interesting, and at the same time a bit ‘crazy’. I think it’s a good move because then there would be a lot of uncommitted guilds. This is merely a test for the guild master. I like it.

How would you implement your suggestion considering this game aspect :slight_smile: ?

  • Would you do it by restricting Templars to be only one per account?
  • Would you restrict that only one of the Templars on your account can create a guild?
  • Would you scrap the Templar idea and let any account create a guild?
  • Would you implement it in another way?

If your answer is one of the first three, in my opinion your suggestion should not be a thing, because it just adds restrictions that are not needed on guilds.

If you consider it as a “group thing” different from a guild, i don’t know if it would help in any way other than grouping things that don’t need to be grouped…

I actually included the alternatives (methods) to it in the first post… which I think you missed.

Right there.
Basically allow the guild to be made in variants of account-linked or not.
(or the GW2 method, https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Guild#Membership)

The other problems involved… well I can’t say I have an answer to all.
At best, I am confident this is plausible and a worthwhile suggestion.

edit : I forgot to add, I actually prefer it if the Templar per account thing is enforced, yes.
One account, one guild. Take your picks on whatever reasons you want for this.
Some people say loyalty, some say convenience. I say I want to jump around alts without headaches.
