Guild Wars 2

I saw somewhere that you are working on letting people transfer a guild across worlds in some form (perhaps via some influence scroll or whatever).

There are very many small guilds and many of them are attached to their guild (that set of resources they built). I think it would benefit the game and its players if you would allow guilds to merge and also “bring” their guild resources to their new guild. This seems very similar to moving a guild to another world.

Perhaps you only let them liquidate a percentage of their influence but any contribution to a new guild would be useful.

I suggest:

• add a guild permission for “Guild disband”
• add a guild permission for “Receives guild disband influence”
• upon disbanding of the guild evenly distribute influence scrolls to anyone with the “receives…” permission
• Influence scrolls will be account bound and are only usable when in a guild (similar to the influence bonus awarded with the digital deluxe version)
• Have your algorithm folks figure out a good percentage of influence to return. Probably something in the 10-25% range is good. If one guild disbands and joins an existing guild they would at least be able to add some new capabilities. It’s probably even okay to have this number be a little low so the newly merged guild can “work to grow” the guild.

More active and larger guilds is often useful and better for all involved.
