Guild Hall: Personalize and Customize

Basically, players would have the usual Guild infrastructure and NPC acquisition available, but also a ‘customize’ option that could be unlocked by whatever system deemed appropriate.

Unlocking would allow Guilds to:

1) Personalize overall decoration based on player input.

2) Change weather and time of day.

3) Design battle scenarios for guild members and invited players to practice their skills on, even offering in-game prizes to keep a healthy competition.

4) Modify structures and their placement.

5) Others?

Guild members could share the load of purchasing and upgrading these features.

The possibility of modding as been proven to be highly popular from other highly successful games. Adapting this concept into Guild Halls would be a perfect opportunity.

What do you think?

Note
I've actually taken this suggestion out from a group of others in this thread that has to do with making Anet able to cover expenses with improvements that goes beyond their ability to respond within their no-monthly-fee concept and thus sparing players from having to veeeery patiently wait for a new version of Guild Wars. Can the franchise survive the wait for another upcoming Guild Wars version 3, 4, 5... with the next cool or useful features that players keep asking for? There's a limit to anyone's patience and I would hate to see a really good concept and game waning away into oblivion...

This suggestion had the most enthusiastic reaction, so I figured that it would deserve its own thread for discussion and input from the community, without a complete bias of money talk that would reflect on our meager pockets.

And I DID search for other threads, as requested from the moderators, but I honestly didn't find anything where I could place this idea without being somewhat out of place.

/signed 100x. I would be willing to fork out the money. Only if its in game money, not RL money, that just means bad stuff.

Being able to present prizes, though, i think, should be on Anet's hands. With the new ATS tournament stuff, offering prizes with tournaments is a great idea. But shouldn't be in the hands of a guild i dont think. It could get abused.

I would like to see improvements to Guild hall stuff overall. It's been to boring in the guild hall for too long. A huge deathmatch, or free for all option for the guild hall would be really awesome. 12 people, 1 on 1 on 1 one 1 etc. Would be very awesome. It would present another aspect to the game, and also giving you something else to do. This should also apply to alliance members also :-p

It would be up to Anet to ponder the possibilities.

True, although it depends on the prizes. It its for a deserved indication just for prestige or something that actually is worth something in game.

Definitely!

It would based on player feedback and prevalence in good taste hopefully! The designers have been doing a good job so far... Also to be able to mod some sections of the guild hall. As for which sections and purpose, that's open for discussion.
