Thread: Recruitment and the guild terminal
A recruiter vendor-type NPC is a GREAT idea!
Give guild leaders the abilities of a Master Merchant on that one NPC, so you can dress him how you'd like, program his speech, and give people the option of using a radial menu to apply for your PA
This is a fantastic idea. I especially like the idea of the NPC Guild Recruiter. I would imagine that the radial menu on the Guild Recruiter would include the basic "Examine" option and then there would be the "Submit Application" option. When they hit on the "Submit Application" button they will be shown a small menu with a description of the guild that has been written by the guild leader. This would show the guild hopeful what that particular guild is looking for in new members. At the bottom of the menu is then the "Cancel" button and the "Apply" button. After selecting "Apply" a system message runs across that player's screen saying that "You have announced your desire to join <guild name>."
Now this would send an e-mail to the guild leader and reads something like this. "<Player's name>has expressed his/her interest in joining <guild name>" After that the regular process of accepting a new guild member ghoes on like it always has.
