Guild Cities and Guild Hall interaction:

This suggestion is to help grow the interaction of cities and the immersion of cities making them feel more lively.


Alot of games you see have many beautiful and massive cities filled of many giant buildings, Though the space which is occupied by NPC's in these Cities and very small in comparison to the actual size of the cities. Running around a giant city to find a vendor thinking "I wonder what would be in the nice tall building there" or "That building would offer an amazing view of the city from up there".


  • This suggestion is to utilize those giant empty buildings bringing the city to have a lot more life and culture, I believe the best way to achieve this would be to implement the Guild Halls into these city buildings.


  • Creating purchasable Guild Halls within the city via the buildings, each building depending on location would cost a certain amount of currency or guild level/repuation.


  • At the base of the buildings would obviously be a door and this door would be used as an entrance into the guild hall (which would instanced to reduce lag?) Though would still offer the benefit of being able to walk out onto a balcony and look over the city giving an amazing view.


  • To recognize which guild has which building they could display the guilds flag/logo on the outside of the door as well as a sign with the guilds name.


This way you dont just see plain boring buildings in cities that you cant use (games need to start putting them to good use!)



Here is a very basic example:


When you're running around in the city looking for a vendor you're not just running passed empty plain buildings but you're like ok to get to XYZ vendor you need to run passed Guild ABC and guild DEF guild halls entrances along the way and the way you know its their's possibly a sign which shows it and say a guild flag? It would make the cities a lot more interesting a more of a reason to want to go there.


Also think of it as bragging rights

  • Hey our guild ABC has this guild hall lot in this city X
  • Well our guild DEF has the guild hall right along the town center best guild hall location in this city Y which is alot better than your city X and your guild hall location... etc etc


I think it would add in some really good immersion into the gameplay and environment, bringing the cities into life and creating meaningful use of the surrounding empty buildings.
