Suggestion: add a guild-consumable that allows guilds to create a temporary, instanced version of any of the existing, group “activities.” Currently, those include: Sanctum Sprint, Southsun Survival, Keg Brawl, and Crab Toss. Ideally, during specific festivals, the selection would also include the relevant activities, e.g. during Wintersday, the guild could also choose Bell Choir or Snowball Mayhem.


There are several reasons this would be a fun addition to the game:

  • Many guilds continue to have more influence & merits than they can spend.
  • There still aren’t many things guilds can do as a group.
  • Many people enjoy these activities, although they aren’t available on demand — and the game doesn’t make it easy to know which is available on a given day.

Of course, there would be a number of implementation headaches:

  • How much should this cost (in terms of time and currency)?
  • Should any of these matches count for achievement track progress?
  • Should the instances be available to non-guild members?
  • How long should the instance last? What happens if people show up after it’s created?
