Guild house auction - any interest?

[Mordaan]

It's been awhile since we've had a guild house auction.  At least one guild is interested.  But we'll need a few to make an auction worthwhile.  Any others interested?  If so we can use this thread to help set up an event.

Depends how soon. If it's not in the near future and rather in few months, perhaps?

[Gaheris]

Interested, of course.

[Raikana]

Mine must be the "one guild altready interested" you are referring to 

[Andromalificus]

I will indeed be interested..seems there are four 

[simrec]

I am also interested on behalf of The Lodge

[aladedragon]

We are interested also

[Dilihin]

"We" is very informative choice of words... 

[aladedragon]

We are "La cueva del Tigre".

Some news about this topic?
By the way, i'm talking in behalf of the Bards Association

Personally, I'm going to need a very strong argument to get me to lean towards this being a good idea. I don't mean to be a stick in the mud here but I'm not seeing any guilds with enough active players to warrant this right now. I will discuss it in depth with Uadjet and we can brainstorm and I'm willing to take suggestions here or any other way you wish to contact me for discussion or ideas to persuade me.

Currently, I am looking at the bigger picture of this. 5 "interested" guilds. 1 has one member who's logged in 2018...in March. The other four? Either has one active member only or 1 person that's even logged on in the past 30 days. (July). Only one guild even has 5 people who have logged on in 2018. The rest are 1-4 members who have logged on in 2018 (Some of whom don't even have 10 hours of gameplay or have not logged back on in over 6 months).

So there you have my thoughts on why I'm against it.  But again do not lose heart, I can be persuaded easily to push this forward if given a good enough reason.
Guildhouses are overrated anyways. They are hardly used, other than to  drop tons of items that the server has to load each time it crashes or is restarted, and several guildhouses are so full of junk and items that they not only lag horribly but most times you have to relog when entering or exiting because you unleashed the famous guildhouse bug.

Can we forego buying a guildhouse and just build outposts?

I'm gonna do that. The Octarchy can't stop me.

I think Emaline's response was quite exhaustive on this matter. It is indeed true that you propably won't need it anyways and the items just create unnecessary load anyways, hence i recently started unloading useless stuff from guildhouse. They serve quite a little purpose besides being item junkyards.

IMHO I found Emaline's response dismissive rather than exhaustive, Mordaan asked the player base if they were interested and they responded positively, one low level GM's opinion should not over rule the outcome of any ideas. GH's serve RP if used imaginatively, hence the RCD, the Gambling Den I forget the name of, the Camp Banished GH. Because the majority use them as keep sake boxes those with other motives are dismissed, rather than spending time on poor quality events and negative forum posts perhaps they should spend some time clearing the GH's to lower the 'LOAD' as you say and remove guilds from houses that have been absent for years now. PS has become a negative environment for RP and it is not just because of the low player count. I will await Mordaan's response.
