Built-in guilds

[Micru]

I\'m not saying to add a predefined set of guilds, but allow the players to seek the active guilds, their goals, their history and their current plots without go to the guild\'s page.
This could be done allowing to the guild leaders to upload the info to the game server. The newest guilds can be \"WTB guilds\", and been differenciated from the others, the old ones or approved by the GM.

If the guild leader could send messages (whith goals, news or whatever) to the members, would be great to store them in the server for allow the offline members display the message when they connect again to the game.

Why add this massive amount of complex coding and spend hours and hours adding such a feature, just because people can\'t be bothered to go to the Guilds forum or http://www.thebbb.tk?

This might actually be good in a restricted sort of way. I imagine that all the \"official\" guilds that have permanent representatives in a city will be able to post their whereabouts (like an embassy) in the town hall so that everyone can easily find them. Obviously, there would only be very few cities at which the thieves guild would be mentioned. Therefore, this system would be quite different to the guilds pages, because it would be in-character. Maybe they could even leave leaflets in the town hall, where they can be looked at by everyone (sort of a small library), in which they state their goals and whatnot. seeing how much effort some people put into their forum sigs, these leaflets can be left to the guilds to make, and to be submitted to the game server as .PNG files, maybe on a per-city basis (i.e., you can have different leaflets in every city). Obviously, since printing and paper isn\'t exactly cheap in medieval worlds, these leaflets would not be available for taking them away, so people would need to record them in their own IC diaries or maps. The text and the map locations could even be stored as text along with the image, and automatically transferred to the player\'s diary if they select some option. Yes, this could be abused, but it would be possible to have to have them approved.

I like Seytra\'s idea

Ok um mmm your talking about leaving stuff so people know where your at? Well what about the /who and then the /tell it surely saves this extra uneccesary work for the DEVs

Seytra\'s idea sounds like a notice board (no bad thing of course).  

Probably an easier way to do it is have a book of guilds in the town hall (or at another appropriate location).  Each guild would get one or two pages to advertise themselves to prospective members, these pages would obviously be submitted by the guild in whatever format is used for books.  This I feel would be an easier solution because the book system is already in CB.
