Yes, we did. It wasn't technically possible and was causing a lot of other issues to come up so they took it back out for now and increased the range to invite to 90 meters.

I was personally very much looking forward to it because it would have allowed for you to have a Guild group all the time with the members who were on. I hope we eventually see it again.

It is technically possible, the devs just fed us that line hoping we would bite and let it go. I can see it causing bugs that would be worse then taking that feature back out, but I feel that they should keep working on it and maybe one day get it in the game. I too think that creating guild groups before everyone gets together in a comon area is a great benefit.

We don't need to go down the road of "The devs are conspiring and lieing" when they tell us why something isn't possible. Right now it is not technically possible because of other issues associated with the ranges, we need to leave it at that. Let's not resort to the conspiracy theories that become so prevelant on the other forums.

I'm sure that they will continue to work on it until the point to where it is possible because it was a popular feature a lot of people wanted.

Rothin, I write software for a living. I don't say this from a conspiricy theory viewpoint. I know it is possible, but I don't disagree it might cause bugs and problems if the code is not stable (not easily modifiable without ramifications). If it is not technically possible, then it WILL NEVER GET IMPLEMENTED, BECAUSE IT IS NOTTECHNICALLY POSSIBLE.

I said that the devs lied to us about allowing us to have two multiplayer ships with items in both, they said it couldn't be done, it is done today. It is the same here. It can be done, but they pulled it back because theycouldn't make the change now. It is technically possible, but they just need to work on it longer.

The "Not technically possible" line is to keep people from bashing them when they removed an announced feature. I don't know why they just can't say they had problems getting it to work and we pulled the feature for now. Then they can say if it is on the plate for a future patch, if the idea is shelved or if the fate of the feature is uncertain.

Idon't want to continueto argue semantics as that wasn't my point. My point is it can be done and if we continue to ask for it, they will eventually figure it out and it will get implmented.

The point I'm trying to stress here is that right now it is NOT technically possible and the Devs aren't out to lie to us or deceive us to simply pacify us. It caused issues when they tried to incorporate it and there were issues they couldn't solve at the present time so it was taken out until a time when it could be implemented and work the way it's supposed to. The aren't out to deceive us by saying it isn't technically possible. It means it can't be implemented at the current time due to limitations in place. It doesn't mean it will never happen because technology changes all the time.

Whether it was a code issue or a hardware issue, it all boils down to it was possible at this time which is exactly what they stated to us.

Like I said, I really want to see it in game, so it's not something I personally plan to forget about. I try to ask for things we want to see as often as possible whenever I see an opportunity.
