Why 20,000?
« on: July 10, 2006, 06:17:43 pm »
Plain and simple, why does a guild cost 20,000 to create, there will be wipes and some people who want to start a guild just dont have this kind of cash.

Because otherwise we have loads of people running around with guilds called "I AM A MONKEY BRAIN" etc.

True, but isnt 20,000 a bit much...nevermind, can someone update the guild rules page on the guild forums to say this, i went though the time in reading it, and the page i looked at, the first time guide, i dont believe states the 20,000 trias, however the players guide does, thats when i relized i had wasted all that time coming up with all the guild info  :D

If your character has reached the point where they know enough about the Planeshift world to create a guild, 20,000 is a negligible amount.  You could raise that amount in about 5 hours by mining and selling gold or platinum.  AFAIK the 20,000 limit was to prevent people from joining, immediately making a guild, and then spamming everyone to join.

After a wipe, does a guild master have to get all that money back up and recreate his guild?

As wipes remove all characters entirely and players will have to recreate them from scratch again, yes.

I'll update the Guild Discussion rules to mention the cost, thanks!

See the process of wiping as a mean to separate the wheat from the chaff.

Of course you shouldn't found a guild on our own. It's not like you wake up one day and say "well, from this moment on I will have a guild called "I Rule", I will now go invite some people". You should found a guild with a band of friends. If you can get 10 people together, the cost is only 2000 per person if you split it up. And if you really want to found one on your own, just play a bit untill you're past the rat/clacker fase and then 20.00 won't be that much anymore.

spyke01 - before you think about creating your own new guild, first think: Is it necessary to be made? Aren't there already guilds who have similar goals? Or do you just want to be a leader, without much concept? ;)

There are already "Rangers of Yliakum" (read the Guilds forum and the "Guild list" as well); and Ruby Reign gathers "hunters" (for many different kinds of "game" - from clackers to bugs)... ;)

Why Rangers may I ask? {i'm nosey sorry!!}
what I mean is, why do you want a guild of rangers, what is the point of the guild?
Anfa wonders if she missed a post and than realizes  :offtopic:
oops...sorry, guess I will have to wait til you register in the guild forum.

Cheers
