Idea (Discussion)

Joining a Guild should be Character based instead of Account based so your PVP char can play in a PVP guild while your PVE char can be in a PVE guild if you want or if you simply want to be in your friends guild with once char and in a big guild with another char

Why this is a good idea
  • You can be in several guilds at once based on your interests.
  • Nothing would need to change in how activity, memberships and GvG are handled.
  • Players would have the freedom of trying out new facets of play (ex PvP) with a guild specifically suited for it.
Why it may not work out
  • A person could join the same guild several times over making it more difficult for a guild to kick someone.
  • How would an individual character's inactivity be measured?
  • Would new characters start outside of a guild despite every other character being in a guild?
  • There are rules around GvG combat which need a player to be in a guild for a certain amount of time.
  • It makes it more difficult for a player to identify a character with a player.
  • People could exploit the fact that they have different ones per character.
  • Hard to people to keep track with.
  • People may want the same guild per character, using up slots in the alliance.
  • (upon the above) With 8 chars per player, and say 10 players in a rather small guild, you already get 80 players to scroll through. Let alone 50 players thus 400 chars. Gets you a major headache.
