Guild Revamp (We NEED Guilds to be worthwhile)
Hi there!
Long story short here, What makes MMO's worth playing? The social environments.
We have THOUSANDS of options for fantastic stories, challenging encounters, Competitive stuff, etc. out there, but what makes an MMO worth playing over any normal old RPG? The social aspect. The other players. All the tweaks and fixes in the world can't replace our desire to make friends and feel socially involved.
Guilds offer an amazing opportunity for players to meet likeminded players and get help and grow as a group, so why are Mabinogi's guilds so under featured? Other than a chat bar and a (ugly) robe, what do guilds in Mabinogi really offer?
So where can we go from here with guilds? Oh man, the possibilities are endless. We as a community could probly generate an endless number of suggestions on this, but the core value I feel will always be the same;
We need options to band together as a group and grow and progress our rag tag bands of players into something we can feel proud of.
Some options I would like personally?
*Guild castles/Homesteads/Islands/Cities/whatever.*
-Give us a customizable, growable home for our guilds that we can work together to create and expand.
-Material gathering/Mob Fighting/Quests to complete within these territories to expand it as a group feel SO WORTH IT
*Guild Territories expansion*
-Tir and Dunby battle system is a great start, but why not expand on that?
*Better Guild Robes/Gears*
-Let us show our guild created fashion with pride! No one wants to rock that ugly old robe we have now.
*More Guild Ranks*
-I know WAY too many guilds that exist just because people want the crown you can only get from Leader and Lt.
-Whats the motivation to help your guild when you can never climb higher than member?
I could probly keep going on this for ever, but I feel like this is enough to get the point across and get the conversations going.
Will this make a difference? Who knows.. One can only hope tho!

I can dig it. That'd be awesome.
Instead of having to go to Tara Royal Castle, I think interested guilds can lease some land (like a homestead) and construct their guild and develop their land. Buildings, resources, etc.
the closest thing we to a roman style coliseum is the battle arena near Filia but yeah something like that would be cool.
this is the perfect chance for Nexon to just completely redo the housing channel areas. with homestead housing most homes on the housing channel are completely abandoned. they could make the houses bigger and allow guilds to use them as personal guild halls that you edit.
Linky?
I really hope you're right. Its so needed.
It better be decent. Otherwise we'd get more complaints.
Complaining is Mabi's like #2 past time.
There definitely needs to be more incentive to being in a guild, being able to offer buffs similar to the Doki Doki Island Harmony Torch but customizable to the guilds specific needs, if it's a guild that does a lot of combat you can select combat related buffs, if its a music guild you can offer music buffs, the list can go on and on.
Edit:
Honestly there's so much they could take from GW2 that'd add a lot more community to guilds besides being a glorified chatroom.

Vaults would be so nice, sharing resources by donating items or gold into a centralized bank would be really sweet, in GW2 you can see a log of who deposited/withdrew things so there wouldn't be any ambiguity if something nefarious happened like theft.
I gotta hope you're wrong. Otherwise, I'll be sad. And I'd prefer not to be sad.
