Well evanchild I\'ll give you this much, you sure have staying power! With all the criticism and advice to think it over before you continue you are still at it whilst most would have given up long ago.
What you have going for your idea is that there is not, to my knowledge - sorry if i step on any toes, a merchant or artisan guild. Sure there is a merchants association but the idea is exactly NOT to be a guild but an association that recognises established merchant, tavern owners etc by giving them a seal of approval if they meet certain criteria. It is aimed at individual players not Guilds. My advice is that you make it either a
- Merchant guild
- Artisan guild.
trying to incorporate both is too much and
too wide. A merchants guild would have members that set-up (at least intend to in-game when Crystal Blue comes out) shop all over the realm of Yliakum and work together as traders with each other.
An Artisan guild would be a collection of players who make weapons, jewelery, wagons etc. and they
could be situated in one place which would probably give some strength in unity.
Whichever one you choose go with one of them only. The advice by most given here is well intended, you should be aware of the fact that getting a guild up-and-running is no mean feat but it can be done with good ideas, initiative and drive. My advice is go for it, if it fails you can always join an existing guild.
I am sorry that some inconsiderate people are using your thread for their own personal messages to other guilds! X( Most ppl in this forum respect other ppl\'s threads and use PM\'s for private messages, here\'s to hoping that we all will do so soon.
