Guild store

Definitely some strong ideas here but a guild store is a good idea. Second I would propose a guild leaders forum.

Excellent!!!!!! BB, please!!!!

I'm currently the guild bank and this feature would be awesome.

Not bad. I would not just give a guy an officer to share ... than to do it through the need ... I need so much and that and both the officers and the leader arrive mail and must get at least three of them to pass
it would be ideal to enter the building selects what it needs and in what quantity .... similar to the trade and click send and we get mail with OK or NO

I don't agree with the Guild Building. It's just something else to clog up production. But, I do agree that we need something to hold Guild Resource's. Now, if they made something like a server on it's own that each Guild could access their own stuff. Then, yes. That would be very useful to the Game. I myself have trouble with putting more stuff on my island, and as most people know Pop always a problem in this game and if they put something to hold Guild Resource's, then I would have to either get rid of some of my Production, or some of my pop. And.. that just isn't gonna happen. It's how my Guild stay's alive. But yes, this idea need's looking into. I just hope it doesn't involve killing something on my island to do it with.
I know this isn't the answer most of you are looking for, but it's all I got. it's a very good idea to have something on TSO that can handle Guild Resouce's though. If they could make another Island like Archipelegro. That would be AWESOME. That would just hold the Guild Resource's.. and nothing more

This is a great idea, would definitely support

+1, good solution to a real problem

There is no MMO without a Guildbank. Why can't we have one here aswell?

I think I've heard it was tried before and there were problems, but maybe it could be done better.
+1 to the concept.

This is certainly true,it is the way it works at present- I would have thought for every guild that pools stuff this is more or less how they work....and is the gist of my post earlier. However I think it is missing the nub of luckydiddy's initial post... the current system is fine until something goes wrong and the stock-holder cannot get online for a period. It doesnt matter how good your system is if the goods are in an account that cannot be accessed you are stuffed. Maybe temporarily maybe permanently. I can hear people saying thats a remote chance, a few weeks ago I would have agreed but now from where I'm sitting with events going on around me nowhere near as remote as I thought.

Okay so its been tried on test etc and apparently didn't work. That doesn't mean it wouldn't work now or a new approach couldn't be made to work now. Once upon a time we had to load individual orders into the barracks 1 lot of 25 troops a time...why? because technical issues meant it couldnt be changed.....

having been in a guild were an officer who was bank decided to up and leave taking all said resources with him i can see the value in this, as was said even friends can fall out.

I don't think separate building needed after all Guild House could be used as Guild Bank, goes without saying need a Guild for guild bank so a separate building would not be needed. Guild leader would of course be one of those with access to the bank so we have suitable building already.

Access could be granted along the lines of gaining officer chat, leader can set who can deposit into it, can also set who can remove from it. Then as with guild should leadership change so would head of guild bank. this allows guilds to still work together and run comps/giveaways and prepare against Life or sadly death from causing to much of an issue at the loss of said leaders

so this gets a big thumbs up

Very good idea, +1

It would help guilds to support lower level players to bring them through the game

+1

Oh goodness yes!

It is a good idea and I think it is possible to work it out.
I still think that BB should not ban players. That is never fair!
+1

(I do not think that BB wants us to support low players with resources)

Its a very good idea and should be looked into by BB.

Hello,

I've read the forum and I'm against the idea of a guildbank.
The reason for it lies in the fact that here you're playing with others against yourself or for yourself.
In other onlinegames I played we were a guild that had tot go to battle, extinquishing others, so some extra cash and goods came in handy.

Here you play against yourself, getting your stuff and economy right.
Some play with money, some don't. Depends how fast you want to achieve things.
To people who want to compete in level, go ahead, but it's not my thing.

Cheers, Lamp

P.S. if you want to help somebody out of sympathy it's a good thing.

I remember a Dev Diary post quite a long time ago about such a feature. I can't seem to be able to find it, but this will definitely benefit quite a lot of guilds out there.

+1

This would definitely be a positive step if only to simplify the job of the guild officers. It is not fun having the responsibility of holding 'guild' resources especially if you also visibly do a lot of trading, it demands a huge amount of trust on the guild members part, in their officers and leader. I'm sure many would feel more comfortable donating and requesting help from a guild bank.

Yep, this has been a major topic discussed in the forums in years gone bye, think it may be time for BB act on this and give us all what we want :)

+1

great idea

+1

+1 from me :) Sounds good.

This is a very good idea to help with the management of resources within a guild +1 from me.

-1 I think this idea is interesting but will predominantly be abused. Sounds to me like resource laundering. A way to feed multi accounts under the guise of helping out. It will be harder to track and prove who's cheating as resources will be passing through many accounts on a daily basis. There is no need to store excess somewhere else when the star menu is capable of storing any amount of goods.

Also, I think personal guild problems could arise from such an idea.

If new players need a hand then fair enough, send trades just like what we do now. No need to fix what already works.

UPDATE: I have looked at other comments on other posts and it just seems strange that the majority of the people that like this idea have been members for many years but have very few forum posts. That suggests one thing to me and the main reason why I think having a guild store is a bad idea.

A Guild Bank! Many MMO's have this, and can be managed quite well.

Please, not more limits on the size of a guild. The gq system is bad enuff already! I just want to chat with a few friends, if i'm forced into a huge guild by yet more conditions I may as well chat in global!

I wanted to try to attempt to revive this suggestion as in the past when I have looked at it I thought .. nah .. don't see the point. All that changed over the last couple of weeks though and I now feel that not only would a guild bank be desirable to the game .. but infact its essential.

My guild has 100 members. We have a lot of high levels. Many of us are resource and buildings rich. Members regularly donate resources/buildings etc to the guild store to use as the officer team sees fit. Over the last year the guild has amassed a sizable collection of buildings to be used for competitions, lotteries etc .. at the latest count we have close to 400 buildings and millions of resources - and that doesnt count all that have already been given away. Currently all is logged by one officer and they look after it. It works fine. There isn't a problem. YET.

If something were to happen with that one officer that prevented them being able to either access the game .. or they were to have a hissy fit and leave the guild all those resources would be lost. Thats too much responsibility for one member. Equally to spread it across different officers - would make administering it a logisitcal nightmare - who had what - etc.

Take some examples ...

1) If they died (sorry to be morbid) - noone else would be able to access their account - as we can't share that information with others (for understandable reasons) - anyone who did .. and logged in to it would flag up as having more than one account on the same ISP and as a result both accounts would be banned.

2) If they left the guild - they could steal from all the rest of the members - not cool.

3) If they got banned for something - that's BB punishing the whole guild membership - also not fair.

If as has been suggested earlier in this thread the guild set up an extra account for officers to access to store stuff .. thats breaching the rules and all of them could be banned. Equally having one account in the guild as a guild mule even if it was allowed .. would have to remain inactive .. affecting GQ completion.

This would mean the only method that could work would be to have a guild bank feature added to the game as there is in many other community based games. I have already spoken to other guild leaders on Northisle and on other servers and there seems to be strong support for this facility amongst large guilds in particular.

It could be:-

It has to be a special building such as the guild house, and could be upgraded to increase its storage capacity.
All members to have the ability to deposit items in it.
Guild leader could have amongst admin tasks the ability to set who can change guild bank settings - either just the guild leader to decide who can withdraw from it .. or officers too or even whole guild.
Some resources could be set as free for all - anyone can take any amount (stone/planks) Some resources could be limited and locked unless a member has been allocated an amount to take. It might seem like a lot of work .. but compared to the admin already involved with one person having it all .. its not more effort at all. And with the admin tools and succession list already within guild tools the beginnings of a way to solve this issue already appear to be in game.

So please BB reconsider this and how to attempt to incorporate some sort of solution to this potential problem.

Thanks

great idea

I´m gonna +1 this guildbank thing.
It should come with a history too. And a way to add or remove each and every person in the guild´s access to it.
I´m a bit hesitant to donate stuff to a 50-60+ level player, I´d rather it went to a lowbie. But that´s something each guild has to come up with.
A guild bank is a must and it would definately help a lot.
