Badges, eh..? Mm, I got this nifty image of guilds promoting themselves through medieval \"business cards\" :)

Heh why not...

And then we can make pamphlets!
And posters...

And then planeshift will be laggy as hell because of all the items (posters) Everywhere...

Though I do believe we should get some sort of ingame message board...(I know the ingame roleplay forum but, people don\'t always go there)...I\'m sure it can\'t be too hard, just have it in Book format and quickly go over the weeks upcoming events and such.

What about personal storage rooms? Not just for guilds but for every single player.

WHY: Because there are players which love to freelance instead of beeing forced to join a guild just because they need storage space.

HOW: ONE room for all people (at the same position ingame) but you only see your own things, when you enter.

I\'m sure you know Diablo II where you can store things in the box in the base camps.

AND: Please NO lockpicking...... thanks.

If there are rooms or chests with locks, they can be lockpicked. Do you imagine a lock that cannot be lockpicked? That would be completely unrealistic.

To lock a room or a chest, one has to build a lock first. With a high level on lockpicking you could make a lock that is very hard to lockpick and it requires even higher lockpicking skill. So master lockpickers can make locks that only other masters can lockpick. That would create a demand for lockpicking masters and a role for some characters to play.

A combonation lock can\'t be \"pick locked\" :P

Any man-made lock can be opened with or without the \"key\". It requires some extraordinary magic to protect the lock, but another powerful mage could remove the magic and still open it.

No, but a nice sharp blade could cut it if used by the right person...


Edit: This is about the combination lock, BTW... Or any lock I guess, but :P

ooh, magical locking and unlocking, I love it!  It\'s still fodder for the things we want but will never see.  Well some of us anyway  :D

We already have lockpicking, in general :) It\'s a trainable skill.

How about this?  Instead of a chest, each guild gets an NPC that hangs in the Plaza.  This NPC is named \"Jane Treasurer of the Dark Shadows Guild\".  Guild members can then interact with the NPC.  You can walk up, drop off stuff, then continue on your marry way.  Higher level guild members can make withdrawals or whatever.

I\'m sure a banker has already been suggested for personal \"accounts\" so I won\'t even bring that up.

Eeee... A plaza just filled with guild NPCs? There are a lot of guilds, you know. If that\'s the route you want to take, it would be much better to have just one or two bankers, perhaps one for personal \"accounts\" and one for guilds. Otherwise... Oi!

um, not to sound like an ass, but the plaza should be PACKED with NPC\'s right now.  They should be trading corn, rice, eggs, rugs, carp fish, (oh and friggin\' apples) etc.  It should be hard to get through them.  Right now this is a world catering to Adventurers.  There are very few, if any \"normal folk\".  

Anyway, one NPC guild tresurer/banker would be fine too.  And you\'re right, I have no idea how many guilds there are.

I think Plaza should be packed with characters trading rice, eggs, fish, whatever and not NPCs ;) This is a roleplaying game and anything that can be done by players should be done that way. Game mechanics, NPCs etc. are needed to support roleplay, but not for anything else.
