Guild Hall/Guild Town Choose where to settle it in Azeroth!

[Wolfrick]

This idea just got into my mind.

1st, Guild Hall is long overtime in being a part of World of Warcrafts Social systems (Just to make things clear Blizzard would be Scaling down the Utilty by 20 since we saw that in WOD, Garrisons had 10 times more Unility then they needed).

But listen, how about making it so that each guild can choose between spots around Azeroth where to put there Guild Hall/Guild Town?

Think about how cool that could be, Guild could be known for being part of having there guild Settled in an Azerothian Town/city or Just beeing a simple Guild Hall out in the wilderness far away from town/Citys.

Examples: "Method" of Sun Rock Retreat, "Limit" of Andorhal or "ScrubBusters" of Stormwind.

What do you think?

EK- all my favorite zones are there.

[darklogrus]

Im a Druid, so we kinda already have a spot lol...

[Teri]

Probably Mulgore, possibly one of the least touched by cataclysm zone in Kalimdor, speaking of grander zone visual style.

No giant tidal waves, volcanoes, twisters, maelstroms have hit the place.

[SL1200]

Choice? HA, you'll choose the place that's most efficient according to a video made by method or some other like-kind guild.

[Lochton]

If it was an option, you would most likely share with other players a phased location of a 'broken' location.

Though, if I had the choice, Pandaria or Eastern Kingdoms.

[Wyrt]

Well, as I'm not the guild leader I wouldn't have a choice in the matter. Which is one of several reasons why guild halls are a terrible idea.

I'm against any feature that puts players in their own instances, isolates players from world, so I don't understand some player's obsession with guild halls and housing and hope such system never makes it into WoW.

But if I had to choose, would probably pick EK or Kalimdor, depending on faction. For horde it could be pool thingie in middle of Azshara. For alliance it could be airfield above Ironforge.

I just want them to do it like FFXIV does it. Problem, solved.

Explain please. Never played that game.

This would be neat, it would expand upon the planned garrison feature that was scrapped

[Doffen]

Azuremyst Isle. At least no one else would bother me there. Except for the elekks.. I mean, the draenei.

But hey we have Garrison! It was awesome!! So much fun man!

They essentially have a zone in each part of the world (so it's different themed) dedicated to player/guild housing. I think there's about 30-40 houses per zone and they separate them by districts, which would be like phasing, You enter Housing Zone - District 12, same zone, all different house owners. I think they have 20-30 districts per zone? I don't quite remember.

They have Small, Medium & Large plots to put your houses on, which means yes you can decorate the outside land around your house as well, and everyone in the district can see it. You can set your house to public access or restrict it to friends, guilds etc.

The houses aren't cheap either, even the small ones will cost quite a bit and guilds generally combine funds to get themselves a house. Now buying a house isn't restricted only to guilds, you can buy them as a player if you want but you can only own 1 player house & 1 guild house from memory.

So your guild can either have a house, or you as a player can also have one if you're rich enough - but what if you aren't?

They solve this in two ways, if you're in a guild you are able to rent a room from them so when you enter it (it's phased to you), it's your own little part of the guild house and you can decorate it as you see fit, and the other can come into your room if you want etc. If you aren't in a guild, then have like a hotel system in each zone district that does I think like 60-80 rooms? So you can rent a room there as well.

It lets everyone experience the system, while allowing the guilds or minority of richer players experience the same thing on a larger scale.

Should also be noted they allow you to share access to things like customizing your house, if you wanted someone else to decorate it for you.

How does that work? Kinda Interested ^^

I made a post above a bit if you want to look at it.

Pandaria easily. Beautiful and calming

Northern Kalimdor as 2nd choice. 3rd being around Undercity

Create an instanced Island thats filed with guild housing

[Caerule]

Very tough decision. I'd really love it, of course. I lead a roleplay guild. We got a lot of use out of the Garrison. All the officers built an identical one, so we could always visit there with the guild. But an actual class hall instead of a guild hall, where you run into your guildies when doing your daily stuff? Hell yeah, that would be a great way to get interaction going.

My first instinct is to vote Kalimdor. But it also depends a little on what the next expansion will be. Knowing the state of the world would be good, before I'd pick a location.

Honestly I'd love a guild skyship as well. A guild center that can change location to a zone of your choice. Would solve the location problem of needing an empty location in the land, and you'd be able to switch.

That's because you lack imagination to see how it could actually enhance and add to actual outdoor content as well.

Either pandaria or silvermoon in easteren kingdoms i would settle, both got great looks, great music and both are calm places.
