Guilds Revamped

[Naamandre3]

I'm a fan of the namechange. even if it is just to allow people to have there RP name floating above there head.
But seeing the potentional of grief it would cause if people abused it.
We could not hand it out to everybody who just finished the whitelist application.
So.. we'll see

For the dens and things.
I'm not liking the idea of it, guilds used to work together to make sure there members got the goods they needed. so instead of relying on an admin to make a cheap chest, rely on your memberbase and guild influence to change market prices or start your own shop.

Guild dens etc can exist but would pretty much have to live without the protection of a town. Seeing guilds that are widely accepted can be located in A: sayed town. Or B: they have to be hidden anyway cause they are secret and should not rely on towny matters to protect there base of operations.

Even if it was a donor thing I don't trust all of the people who are donors, or even sponsors...

Changing names would be very confusing, and what we can do is limited. We can change the chat names without any client plugins, that's basically it. I know other RP servers do it, but then again: very confusing when you have one name above the player and another in chat.

We're not using the plugin that changes your name.

The only possibility then would be the Spout plugins, so you can change skin and name above your head.

Faster mining perk is not possible without client mods.

Thatssss ssssome very nice ideassss you have there. It would be a ssshame is sssomething happened to it. No, thats getting old but I love the idea of guilds and the perks for the type of guild. While not all might be possible, as yotta said, there are alternatives to them. arg class over gotta go

I really think guilds can only operate in one of two ways - either make it it's own separate town, which would only isolate and restrict access to guild membership, or put the guild house inside a willing town and simply use it as a meeting place and HQ.

Otherwise you'd be dependant on hiding your guild house outside of protection and from everybody who wasn't in the guild. I don't think many people in public guilds would appreciate having to worry about their position being compromised, unless the guild is very small.

As for the perks, of course the guild should provide something for its members, but as to what that is or how they deliver it is up to them. Levelling up however, is available on other servers - and Runescape - if you find it so necessary. I've talked to many players, who as well as myself, find that RP in Kiwike will be fine without and that creating an unbalance amongst players would only cause problems.

What if, say, I got mad at Ian. So I changed my nickname to Ian25, and then started cursing under his name. Problem? I think yes. I don't like this idea.

Exactly. This command could be even worse, such as people changing their name to yottabyte or Android.

Ew. Why would anyone want to do something like that?

[MainDigger]

Well, isn't it possible to make it so you can't change your name to someone who are on the whitelist?

[geckosquid]

Yeah, or maybe it just has to be approved by a moderator before it's applied in-game.
