Yeah, i was thinking of some new ideas for the game. What about a rewards system for completed quests. If you are a guild
leader, you can assign different quests to your members, and if they complete the quest, the Guild leader would givethem some
sort of reward, maybe a level up, or a item/money reward.
I have more were that came from!

Sorry, there is another idea i have- Maybe if Planeshift has enough Guilds, there could be a massive Guild war, were Guilds can
ally with eachother (i.e. Mage and Warrior guilds ally together) so that if there is some guild that thinks they are invincible, then
they allies can challenge them to a war.

P.S. There might be a downside to this, there could be a mix of allies commited to the terror of otheres (i.e. Terrorists)

i agree quests must have a reward. it would be nice to see the guilds having some type of support from the higher ups so that
they can be given a special item that they can put up for reward to be quested for from within their guild members. also i like the
idea of guild aliances(sp). i can see that happening on its own though. also with the talks of how PKers will be treated i can see
one or two guilds joining forces to take down a band of PKers.
one thing though. i would hope there is a guild system, a chat system i mean. something where you could use a function
something like a tell. but instead of like in a tell only going to one person, the guild tell would go to all guild members online. also
another option for guild councles(sp). where guild leaders that are allied can chat privatly to each other.
to do this there would have to be some type of system to log all guild members together. this would be for the guild chat. then
there would have to be a log for guilds that are allied. that would allow the guild allie chat between the leaders.
with the allied chat there all members participating would have to be allies with each other. what i mean by that is say for
example. guild Pride was allied with guild Champ and guild Striker. guild Champ is not allied with Striker but is with Omen. this
chat would only be possible between Pride and Champ. Striker and Omen since not allied with each other and not with both
Champ and Pride would be left out of the loop. i dont know if that would be possible but would be nice to see done.

well though it would be a nice feature in game, it might be too much hassel. i guess it would probably be best for allies to
communicate outside of game. but like i said, sure would be nice to see it in game. would be great help in a war type situation
when guild leaders try to dictate tactics to each other to coordinate the fight.

What I\'ve seen in other MUDs (text MUDs, granted...) was Guild Channels. If you were in a Guild (and ONLY if you were in that
Guild), you could talk on that channel to other Guild members. It wouldn\'t be hard to do... there\'s a game I play now, a GMUD,
that has several different types of communication.
You can\'t do Guild chat, but you can group with other players, and then use GroupTell (like Tell, but you send to the entire group
at once). And of course, Tell msgs are a different color than normal chat messages so as to differentiate them. The game also
has channels in game where you can talk to other players (really handy for coordinating group efforts or asking for help). It was
really annoying in RS trying to coordinate 5 or 6 people hunting PKers because unless you were in a chat room, you could only
talk to one of them at a time, and we ended up relaying msgs back and forth and wasting a lot of time.
But to get back on the subject, Guild support would rock. I didn\'t really care about clans in RS at first, because I was a loner,
until a friend of mine and I started our own. Proper guild support, with guilds able to have/make their own strongholds, have
wars/ally with each other, and do things for their members would add so much to the game. That guy at the table over in the
corner, instead of belonging to some group that calls itself The Dark Order, belongs to a powerful Guild that controls a good-sized
area in the slums of Yliakum, while the woman over by the bar belongs to the Order of Light, which is a dire enemy of TDO.
Making Guilds \"a part of the game\" would add depth and character to it, and it would also encourage *gasp* ROLE-PLAYING,
one of the things that RS sorely lacks. Role-playing would make the game more interesting for all, and would give the guilds a
point, rather than just having a bunch of groups with no real purpose other than to PK people and gain treasure and power (which
is what most of the clans in RS do).

I think you\'ve hit on the purpose of PS there: to role-play not to run around mindlessly killing things so you can say you\'re \"the
best\"

i played a MMORPG and it had those chat channels as well as a few others. there was the say channel that is heard by anyone
near you. the group say that was heard only by those, and all those, in your group. there was guild say that was heard by
anyone and everyone in your guild that was online at that time. then there were three zone channels. there was a shout so you
could warn people in an area of incoming danger. there was the auction channel where you could send a msg to the zone you
were in that you had something for sale. then there was the OOC channel. this was so you could talk to the zone out of
character. each one had a different color so you could tell them apart. well almost all did. the OOC and auction channels were
both colored dark green. the guild say was colored yellow green. the shout was colored red. the grouop say was colored blue.
the say channel was simply white. you could go into your client folder and adjust the colors to what ever you wanted though. the
colors i mention were the default ones.

I was thinking more of a hierachial quest system, such that there would be one or more Gods (like a Dungeon Master or Game
Leader), who when wanted something done would contact a town or some towns, who would then contact registered guilds.
Those guilds can then assign quests to their members, and pending the completion of those they will receive rewards and pass it
down. That way, town leaders would be rewarded for having good guilds, and guilds would be rewarded for having good members.
Thats just an idea though.

what about guild sporting events, like battle tourements, ctf, etc. and the winning guild gets a prize from the tourement sponsor.
the prize could be anything from cash or expensive artifacts with magical propertys that affect the whole guild, to 1 very rare and
powerful weapon or several semi-rare items that can be distributed to the entire clan/guild based on rank.
