I would like to know whether there will be some ingame way to easy finding a guild in Factions chapter, as it seems that Guilds will play a mayor rol in the story. Guilds may wish to get new players fast, and players may wish to know and test many guilds. These suggestions are not intended to make easy for guilds to find rank 6 players {smile} but for easy formation of new guilds.

Suggestions:
1. I would like it were possible to apply for guilds.
2. I would like there were a guilds' board with information about guilds willing to accept new players.
3. I would like there were International District based guilds.

With respect (1) I would like it were possible to apply for guilds' membership, similar to the case of joining requests for a party, but for a guild! There are minor questions which may be dicussed like: i) how to make the request for a guild ii) request's payment, ii) guild's leader having the posibility to change the guild's status between accepting requests/not accepting requests, this being someway visibly noticable.

With respect (2) there are some minor questions like i) limiting the guilds in the board by number a minimun number of players in the guild ii) the board would list guilds which actually want to stay in the board iii) the board would show some information, for example: a) name and cape of the guild, b) number of players in the guild, b) average number of active players, c) whether the guild intends to do PvE or HoH or GvG, d) whether there is a preferred language, iv) each district (America, English/EU, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, International) having separate boards. And, it would offer some joining request option (there were any as stated in suggestions (1)), or an officer's contact name.

With respect (3) it would be the U.N.'s district {smile} for those who wish an international guild and who wish to be able to log in the international district by default and play together with world players.

Well, that is all. lol

Any comments on these?

Friendly.

Well, I have been searching for some other threads on finding a guild and I could not find any, so I post again here.

I have read a thread about a guild which would like the max number of members were increased, because they do neither like to kick players, nor to reject players who wish to join. Well, I do not see this as a problem..., and with factions there is the option of forming alliances of even 10 guilds (I think) which share chat.

But, I have not read of any coming change to easy a consistent guild's growth. It seems to me that the novelties will be for well grown guilds. Thus, I offer some suggestions again and add some new suggestions:

1. the option of being able to apply for guilds; doing a join request.
2. someway ingame to know basic stats about a guild; (we have some information about a party that we may join, but not about a guild).
3. it might be good having a social chat channel; a special channel for seeking guild membership or promoting one's own guild.
4. to make possible to invite a player whilst the player is in a guild, or to make possible to apply for a guild (if suggestion 1. were implemented) whilst being in a guild; this way it would be less likely to leave a guild just because it does not look active to try to find a more active one.
5. I would like there were International District based guilds.

I like the idea of having International Guilds. It would definitely give a more cosmopolitan complexion to the game. However, I am not sure how something like that could be implemented.
