suggested guild ideas
« on: February 19, 2004, 03:13:47 am »
ok.. some ppl have said they would like to create an original guild.. here are some original (i think) ideas:

Messengers/deliveries/postal service - basically providint he service of carrying fetching items.. if the game devlops so that certain places have a dangerous area between them...say a dungeon maybe... this will allow the safe (depending on skill level of members) transport of goods

Private investigators - i think u can guess what they would do

Authors - ok.. so u had a good battle, wanna indulge yer ego.. go to the authors guild, tell em the basic events... they write a nice story about it.. sell u as many copies of the book as u like

photographers - basically provide the service of taking screenies, touching them up + emailing em to u

decorators - when u get a house these guys will come in and do yer deco (on my last server lotsa ppl enjoyed doing this).. for a price

Actors - put on plays... get the AGES guild to act as a box office (excuse my lil plug).. make money

Bankers - provide a currency conversion service, loans, etc... basically anything a bank does

caterers - provide lavish banquests for special occasions (eg weddings... tigereco might even be yer 1st customer if u r quick :P)

insurance - u pay em a regular fee to insure an item.. they replace/pay its value if u loose it (might need some consideration to avoid scams)

The problem is that each guild has just about every one of those functions unofficially in their guild. For instance, messengers. If I need to send something to somewhere else, I\'m gonna be like, \"Hey Niraja, or Psyconn, c\'mere, I got a job for you.\"

Some of those are good. Stuff like the postal service will very very good once the game becomes bigger. At the moment nobody will use it. But once the game has 1000\'s of players... u\'ve got a good guild there. :D
