They have sent some very strong messages this last couple of months about what they think of roleplaying and accessories for such.
What exactly have they said? I have not seen anything relating to this, but the purpose of the guild hall is not really for roleplaying. As with any area it could be done in a guild hall, but that’s not the main emphasis on the area.
I don’t feel the same, mainly because my guild of 2.5 people probably wouldn’t be able to build or buy one.
And you’re hurt by this?? Seriously? I’m not sure you really know what hurt is.
Perhaps I’m not being clear enough. I was using the word hurt to emphasize that it is a bit more than frustration for me at this point.
Also, if the guild halls worked anything like they did in the first game, I guarantee you would be able to afford/build a hall.
AFIK they are still not being worked on, but their introduction has not been ruled out. So it’s not a never, just a not yet.
I suspect making a bog standard guild hall is fairly easy, but with games now offering more customisation options(rift, landmark etc etc) Arenanet would want to make them as feature rich as in other games. I.e something not worth doing if it’s not worth doing right.
Also, while GH’s would be great, perhaps Anet’s feelings is that people would hang out in there rather than the open world thus making the game seem… emptier.
Perhaps, that is something I actively think about when it comes to the implementation of the halls into the game. They did not seem to take too much away from the original game’s population, but hey, this is a whole new playing field.

It has been about 6 months for me since I was actively playing. Over the last week or so, I’ve been loving the WvW tourney and exploring some of the new fractal content.
But something has been bugging me since the day this game came out.
Where are guild halls?
I’m sorry if this sounds like this is a rant-post. I’m really just confused and a little hurt.
My friends and I have played Guild Wars games for over 6 years now and have loved every second of it. After looking at the feature patch, I was very impressed with the changes they were making and could not wait to see what happens next!
After some research around the web, I found out about a few things happening this year and anticipation began to grow. All of that was crushed after I read this on the Wiki:
Guild halls and player housing are not currently being worked on.
As someone who knows what guild halls were like in the first game, I feel very frustrated and a bit hurt by this information. Guild halls housed some of my best memories from Guild Wars. They served as the hub all of us could meet and frankly do whatever we wanted.
Since I first began this games beta, I have longed to see this feature implemented into the game.
I understand how Anet operates- they want it to be perfect and be released at a perfect time. But according to every source I could find, a vital component of what the game is named after is missing! After I heard we would not have guild halls on launch day, everyone I knew was under the assumption that we would get them after the game was a couple months in.
It’s nearly been two years now, and it sounds like guild halls are not even in the works.
TLDR: Where are guild halls, I’m frustrated because they’re not out after almost two years and am a little kitten.
Anyone else feel the same?
Is there an ArenaNet representative that could tell me if they’re at least plausible to be released in 2014?
