your own Guild banners

Perhaps it would be useful if Planeshift had an updater, like so many other MMORPG\'s. Then, amongst other updates, once every week or two, the PS people could load up submitted guild logos. Just the updater in and of itself would be an extremely useful thing in between big update/releases. But maybe it would only be practical to have it when the final version is released.

There is already a client updater being worked on (I don\'t know if it will be ready for MB).  The problem with custom textures is the fact that everyone must download them.  If you don\'t play for a while, have a 56K modem, and a bunch of guilds register logos, then you could be updating for quite a while.   If there are guild logos, then there should be a steep requirement to gain that ability to limit the number of logos and subsequent updates.  A certain level of members, experience (total skill points), wealth, property (ie do they have a guild house), etc.

Well, there should be requirements, like so many people in the guild, and of course a place of location, also it should be a certain size, like the size of a normal sig (not the normal sig here but in other boards they are usually a decent small size. ) that way they could be put on plaques over door ways and also on flag type things, and possibly a 2nd square one allowed so that you can put it in a swinging sign type thing that hangs out into the walk way, and also in equipment and clothes.  Im sure there wouldnt be too many guilds or too many sigs either, and they wont be too big I dont think, there could always be a file size limit also.

LOL, Is it possible to run the game on a 56k modem? I don\'t think so.
There should be a system for guild-banners, I think that a guild should have to meet some requirements to be able to upload banners.

*Your guild must have at least 10 members.
*Your guild must have existed for at least a year.
*Your guild must have done a certain quest.
*All the members of your guild must have reached lvl 10 in any skill.
*Your guild gotta have a castle (not sure about this )
*The Devs or GMs must accept your guild.

Sounds like good requirements... but when yuo send in, you should have to send in wher yuo want your logo or insignia to apper on yuor guild members armours and cloaks and the such.

Just another radom thought: How about guild leveling?  Depending on the requirements you meet (time, members, etc... as mentioned above), types of people in the guild (skill-wise... mages, fighters, thieves, etc.), and guild quests completes, your guild could get a succesive title of sorts (Clan, Grand Coven, Band of Thieves, etc.).  I doubt any other benefits could be attached to this (for balance), but the \"bragging rights\" would be a nice incentive.

I like this idea a lot, kin.

We had talked about \"guild points\" of some sort, and maybe this is a way to put those to use.  Then only certain levels would be able to have their own custom logo, for example.

Let\'s discuss with Paxx and Talad when we get a chance.

Thats great.....

It would be really cool to see the power guilds with there own banners and what not. Plus it would add more of a really life feel to the game...

The only problem with membership requirements for distributing guild symbols would be that the shady guilds of few people that control a lot, as well as the secret cults that incorporate only the highest class of people would be misrepresented.  You know the kind I speak of.

it could be represented by the average strength of the clan together, clans could be ranked by how many guild wars they win/ how many arena battles its members have won/ how much money they have, once they get enough points they get special privelages.
