From guild wars one I have wondered is there going to be a guilds hall in guild wars 2. Of course I know now that it did not happen so I have decided to get this post out there. I apologize if a post like this has been already made but I have problems with this forums search tool. That said I will now continue with this idea
With this, guilds will be able to customize a map( about the size of lions arch) with different themes, for example a winter map, fire map, under water map, sky map or better yet just a nice peaceful green land full of rabbits, bunnies and lots of dolyaks. This guild map could have a main house which could also be customized as in a castle, mansion or something like the hall of monuments.
Another great feature could be picture frames. With picture frames maybe guild leaders can upload print screens of their guild, guild leader or special event which the guild enjoyed to place on the wall of their guild house for memory sake/ decorations.This idea should give all members of the guild benefits, as players would be able to instant teleport and use the facilities available in their guild mainland, such as asura gates, merchants, crafting stations and even the mystic forge all with a cost. All in all it would be another lions arch but you will be hanging out with guild mates and friends. I also think it would be great if people could visit other peoples guild lands to look at the different styles etc( maybe all of the benefits such as crafting etc should go if your a visitor)
This is your guilds land to control, there should be as many options as possible to change the style so it does not seem like each guild looks the same or has the same features. So maybe you could keep selling new themes in the gemstone per month or so. (Halloween theme would be cool)
Since this is a guild effort, it would involve every person in the guild to contribute, kinda like making a legendary but with a hundred more people, so it should be impossible to obtain with a 4 man guild. It should involve a lot of cash, guild reputation and missions to be done to get the best of the best looking map.
This could also effect the living story, so instead of scarlet attacking lions arch, maybe she could have attacked your guilds land instead. From here who knows maybe we could start seeing some guild wars as in two guilds raid each other’s maps for rewards on their own.
