Has there been a response from the Devs on why some PA Halls use less lots than others? I know tatooine PA Halls were mentioned as using 7 lots, whereas naboo PA Halls use 9... I know the person holding our PA Hall on naboo would kill for 2 extra lots...
The only PA hall that uses 7 lots is the Tatooinian one, all others use 9. This is because all the others are the exact same (like Corellian and generic homes). Be glad that you are on Naboo though since only Noobian smalls take up 1 lot as opposed to 2. I can't drop squat outside of a harvester on my native world of Corelia thanks to being the placer of our PA hall.
hmmm... someone brought this up in my guild forums... "yah know, vendor tents only take up (1) slot...." and he rambled on saying how we should be nomads and just live in a tent city, and we ignored him after that. LOL ![]()
But it's a good thought...
#1 - Number of lots are the Killer items to me. As an artisan I rely on harvesters and factories to make a living. A hard one at that made even tougher without lots.
My solution is simple. It's fine to have the player that places the hall use the 9 lots to place it. That way it is stills somewhat a challenge or sacrifice. But also allow that player to spread the lots among the guild members or officers. That way it still has to be a guild action to have the hall but frees up the player placing the hall to have a chance to advance their player. If a player with a lot leaves the guild or quits the game the lot will revert back to the player that placed it. That player could be notified via mail and has a time period to fix the problem. Or don't allow players to leave guilds until they turn over their guild lot.
#2 - Guildchat is useless. When it is working ...if on regular chat the guild chat items don't should up the way group chat items do. I would like to see them so I know when guild members are talking insteed of having to check it all the time and getting message too late to respond.
#3 - PA only Vendors - We need a way to be able to offer items to our guildmates only besides giving everyone in the guild permissions to a house or the hall.
#4 - The guild interface needs an overhall yes.
#5 - A way to collect dues on a the guild terminal.
It'd be nice to have smaller versions of PA halls....maybe separate versions of PAs? Smaller PA hall=less functions they can perform, member cap, that sort of thing? The PA hall is huge, and It'd be nice to have a hall that's more compact for a small guild...that way, a small gutter-living clan can have a building that more represents the kind of organization they are.
After reading I have nothing new to offer but would like to voice my support for the following ideas for my top 5
- PA lot size.
It is just obnoxious. I bought a second account just to host it as I couldn't have harvestors AND a PA hall. No other members were able to sacrifice 9 lots. Its just too much and then you are limited to the same number of items as something 3 lots smaller? Something's outta wack. - Guild bank.
This would help so much. Members help when asked but generally don't think about the cost my boyfriend and I are shelling out to keep the guild hall up while paying for our other day to day expenses. Some way for them to donate would be fantastic. - Sponsoredfolks having access to guild chat.
Thiswould be most helpful in truely getting them inside the guild day to day to get a feel for us. - PA only vendors.
Not a huge upset as right now players buy off my vendors and I tip them a refund for the guild price but could make live a bit easier if they had a place to truely find guild items at guild only prices. - Guild chat.
It needs to stop acting goofy. Its better than it used to but still highly unstable.
I have yet to hear of one PA Leader being able to resign (ie. set allegence working). This is number 1 to me since I want to resign from being the leader of my current PA so I can join other PA's in the city from time to time to gain a better understanding of them as a Mayor.

1. PA hall uses less lots. As a weaponsmith who started a PA, I had little choice but to buy a second copy of the game so I could place the PA and still perform my function as a weaponsmith without having to ask other people in the PA to give up their lots.
2. The ability for you to invite a new member to the PA without having to travel back to the PA hall to do it. You should still need to be standing near the person, but as the leader of a PA I should be able to sponsor and accept members from where-ever I am.
3. PA name and TAG Changes.
4. Increase the number of items that can be stored in a PA hall.
1 Lower lots taken for PA halls
2 An alliance chat (well once the guild chat thing is fixed)
3) Ranks
4) Officer Chat (without the hassle of creating a sub channel)
5) Guild Bank
1. Guild wars/enemies whatever. I'd like to see MPCA go to war sometime in my SWG lifetime
2.Ranks. Ranks would be very kool. I am sure Riis would love to give all our members some sort of corny title or rank
3. Guild taxes/dues- Guild halls are expensive, especially when the guild trys to keep up it's hall AND a town. MPCA is probably gonna end up going bankrupt soon, if we don't get a way to feed money into the guild hall :/
4 Lower Lots for PA halls would definately help. I know Riis has often asked me to put up harvestors for him, cause he was outta lots cause of the PA hall.
The issue of PA hall lot size MUST be addressed!!! This is CRAZY! If an account only has 10 lots and 9 of them take up a PA hall then... what?... I'm not allowed to own a house?... what?.., I'm not allowed to be a crafter becauseI have no lots for harvetsors? So having a PA hall be 9 lots is TERRIBLE and seen as nothing other than extortion by SOE to force people who want to be crafter/PA hall owner/Home owner to own multiple accounts
A City Hall takes 0 lots for a politician why can't a PA hall take 0 lots for a guild leader?
Deed lots don't make sence in this game.
All harvestors take 1 lot.
Small Naboo takes 1 lot. All other smalls take 2 lots.
Med houses take 2 lots but a large house takes 6 lots.
Cantina takes 5 lots but a med center, theater etc take only 3 lots.
HELLOOOOOO see a problem?
Solution.....
All harvesters and small houses 1 lot.
Med houses 2 lots.
Large houses, PA halls, Cantinas, med centers, theaters 3 lots.
OK how hard is that? Come on please? Press your magic button ThunderHeart and make this happen

First there was an issue about guild chat being a pain to look at. You can set the spatial window to monitor guild chat. right click on it and bring up the menu, modify, highlight guild, add. Done. It works well.
Lot size really needs to be fixed. I have recently taken over the PA Hall from our leader as he is grinding professions in search of a holocron and needed his lots. Trouble is, I cant have a house now. I could use the city hall for storage, but that is suppose to be a public structure. I'm not really sure why its 9 lots if it's a database issue as I could just as easily make 5 medium houses for 1250 storage spaces. where all I am asking here is the lot limit to go t o7 so I can add a medium house taking my database thing size to 500 with the PA hall. I usually find myself asking if I can store stuff in peoples houses etc. I'm not really a packrat either. I have my stim-pakc/woundpack/enhancepack/healstatepack collection as I"m also a master doc. I have all the things Jabba gave me.(Don't have anything else to show for it) a few pieces of furniture of mine and creating an assembly area in the PA hall and I"m done. This really needs attention.
PA Ranks. I would like to see us be able to display our imperial ranks. That would solve our PA rank problem, not saying that the imp rank thing is our rank, but our PA is relaxed enough to not really worry about officers, leaders, etc.
Guild Chat - it works but our primary members use Teamspeak, and all those in the PA are welcome. I have noticed that Guild Chat has also been much more reliable lately. Come to think about it, the entire chat server has been more reliable lately.
/Guildremove without the person having to stand next to the panel. We have a few MIA's that are sucking up precious database size when the character was deleted. EQ implemented this and I was one of the MIA's that got kicked out. Didn't really bother me as I figured they didn't care enough to keep me around.
Those are my top 4.
