  • NEW: Add an in game “guild registry terminal” in capital cities. Leaders can add guild information, people can search for guilds that are recruiting. Ideally this list would be searchable by faction, number of members, role-playing (yes/no/sometimes), PVP (yes/no/sometimes). Any guild entry that is not updated within 4(?) weeks would be erased. ***Include a disclaimer that the information is only as valid as the information submitted by the guild leader.***

Now this would be a kick ass additions for guilds! I like the personal approach in talking with people about the guild, but this would make it easier to relay info about your guild. Question: would you be able to update this info on the fly, or would you have to go to the "guild registry terminal" in the capital city, or will you get a special terminal in the guild hall to update from?

That list is all that I could hope for. I would just like to have a mobile droid type control device that lets me deal with official PA type buisness even if I am hunting in the middle of nowhere.

I think that if they could add in the free site featues like EQ2 for SWG it would be awesome. One thing they should probably allow with that though is the ability to include it in custom built pages by others as well because there is only so much cutomizing you could do on their server and a lot of guilds would feel that they were 'all the same.'


Simply make the data for characters etc.. a include file type so people could call it from another server and then customize it to fit into their own pages. I'm sure they could come up with a secure method for allowing that. But anyways, that's my opinion. I'd love to see something like this featured for SWG as well.

well I agree with individualizing things. I think Guildportal.com does a good job in providing people with good webpages. they allow for people with 0 html-progralmming knowledge (/cough me /cough) to create a nice and individualized homepage.
If they would make the system alike, no-one would be dissapointed with their possibilities.
Including the "refering to a file" would also be nice ofcourse

Guild Halls are a burden


  • Increase PA Hall storage amount

  • Add elevator and treasury permission for the PA Hall

  • Add public deposit ability on PA Hall structure terminal, as with cities

  • Allow other structures to be used for PA Halls by installing a crafted PA Terminal (either as an optional component when the structure is made, or after it is placed, whichever is easier). To preserve the difficulty of getting a PA Hall the crafted Terminal should require one or more master professions.

  • Use the “merchant tent” illusion to make PA Rooftops “inside space” and able to be decorated.

  • Add additional unique PA structures.



While I agree with everything said here, I would like to add my point (and it is something I mentioned before). PA halls are a burden to PAs. Yes, they decreased the lot requirement from 9 to 7 (finally) but guild leaders are still getting shafted on the storage front. I agree with Jas that the PA Hall storage limit should be increased but I also find that PA halls are a shell. The ones that are furnished are usually malls (now I don't speak for all). Since PA leaders have a reduced storage count, it usually gets used to store items. What I recommend is to create a furniture storage amount that is separate from the basic item storage. This would allow PAs to furnish the PA hall and actually make a home for their members.
