I have a couple of ideas regarding a guild, but I need to know some things, like how does the game engine handle guilds? I'm coming from Shadowbane, so if anyone here is familiar with how guilds are done there, let me know what's different here. If you don't know Shadowbane guilds, then the main things I'd like to know is how do guilds deal with each other: alliances, conflict (although I understand there's no PvP yet?) trade, etc. Is there a formal system for alliances or do you just say "We're allied" and there's no official in-game status?
If this were a finished product, with all the features promised in place, I would start a guild with the intention of establishing the city (or at least town?? small villiage?) of Highcastle and recruiting soldiers. Since this baby is barely out of diapers, most of the mechanics that would let me work on that don't exist yet. However, I am not above creating a guild of soldiers with that long-term goal in mind, or joining a guild with similar goals in mind with the understanding that I will be off on my own at some point.
So anyone who wants, chime in if you have any comment on the issues I raised or answers to my questions. Anyone who would be willing to join such a guild as I stated if I would run it, let me know. I'm new to the game, so I'm practically broke at the moment, but I'm not new to guilds or mmorpgs, so if I get the required 5 people, money probably won't be a major issue.
Thank you for your consideration.
