I reviewed the list of current Guild Emblems. Even the new ones added by the Emblem contest. None looked like a Compass, Sextant, or Orientation Marker.

With maybe half the people playing this game focused on exploring, it was surprising that no Guild Emblem was available for such a Guild.

Does anyone know if Guild Emblems suitable for an exploration focused Guild will be added?

( Interestingingly enough, many early explorers, geographers, surveyors, and cartographers were considered spys since they were collecting military useful information. Because of the time spent in enemy territory, they were also rather good fighters.)

Interesting thought Greentongue, and yes I do believe there are many gamers that love to explore. Especially in Guild Wars which is so gorgeous.

But the reason no one did this is because there are no 'exploring guilds'. There isn't any demand for one, unlike PvP, PvE and roleplay guild. So zero emblems were made for it. Remember these are 'guild emblems'. Personally I'd rather join a some alpha guild like IVEX or Spirits of War rather then "Explorer's Guild". What about you?

With such a high population of explorer types, I was just surprised that there were none.
I'm in a Guild so it doesn't directly effect me. I do think it effects a lot of others however.

I'm sure that they could always add more later if it came to a point where there was a large demand for a new type of emblem or there were some really good ideas being thrown around out there.

I don't think the quanity/style of the guild emblems should have a stong link to the demand from players. Demand comes from players who voice their opinion, while appreciation and satisfaction comes from players who do and do not voice their opinion. With something so inconsequential, yet relevant, it's a surprise that they don't have a 'catalog' of emblems. Well, obviously this is due to the reason that the time is better spent elsewhere, of course (and we all agree). However, this aspect of the game is important enough that the options should be spread out a little more. Whether it's a 'compass' or a 'tree' (they don't even have a tree! c'mon!) there should be more emblems....eventually. It will be worth the wait, I'm sure.

(And you never know when they might ask us for ideas, so have your designs ready).

Well, if all goes well they will update us with emblems quite often.
