Guild Wars 2

that is where the idea of modular comes in to play and that you do not have to purchase a huge place if you only need a small one. it should not be hard to develop a teared system so that even a small guild can have a small guild house. yes it is a form of a class system in some peoples mind but, it also provides for each guild to take part.

Dear Arena Net. I have a simple request for you.
Well simple from my point of view. From your side I suspect that it would be a touch larger.

I and I think many of the guilds would love to assist with the rebuilding of Lions Arch. We are hurt that our center of trading and crafting was destroyed. And we see this as an opportunity to craft our part of the legend into the game.

I would like to see the ability for each guild to purchase a guild house in Lions Arch. Slow down cowboy… I know it’s a large request but it’s a smart request. Let me explain.

First you have to purchase the land from the Commodore. (You cannot sale land to other guilds only the commodore can transfer the deed of land and that at a price.)
Then you must purchase the design of the guild hall.
(No you cannot change the building once it’s built). Paint color is the only change.(and that will cost you money for painters)
Then you must purchase the supplies to build the hall. (Or have members provide them)
And do not forget you will need labor to build the hall. (Perhaps some way can be developed for player to help with the work much like in WvWvW when they have to bring supplies to repair a wall.)
laborers they will need to be hired and encouraged to do the work.

All of this takes gold or supplies but it will take a guild to pull it off.
I do not see the Guild Hall as being a huge building or that it will have a ton of stuff in it.
It needs the following.
1. A wall for guild achievements.
2. A Guild Notice / note board
3. Guild storage
4. Perhaps a guild weapon smith and or armor smith.

Furniture could be had for a price, and a limited number of units can be in a hall at any time.
The ability to add a 2nd floor or a basement would be purchased as an add on that has additional cost etc.
I see the max size to be close to a tavern or bar 2 floors and a basement.

By making the process modular like this it is possible to permit all guilds the chance to build a hall. NOTE if a guild disbands the house will be torn down or sold as is. All proceeds will go to Lions Arch and the funds are used to provide security to the town in the form of the Lions Guard.

I am hopeful that this idea has provided you with a glimmer of the possibilities that this provides to you and to the guilds. Thank you for your time.

I have to admit i had hoped that Anet would have fixed this issue so that my guild could at last work together.

Our guild formed during the Beta for GW1 and we have been together from then to now. my members are from around the world and we have been friends and played together in this game for 7 years.

you are forcing us to abandon each other and never play together again. my Euro players have too much lag playing on US Severs and my US players the same on the Euro players.

Our Alliance was damaged by you when you did not put an alliance feature into the game. now our guilds are being forced apart more by separating friends from around the world.

i guess your definition of having friends play together is very different than what we had envisioned. this is probably the saddest day for my guild that we must now decide to break apart or to try and weather this out till you get your heads out of your rears and realize what made the game great in the past can still work today.

some times you are so very unwise anet.
