As a founder I know that the game has lost tons of players over time, and that new players are even hard to find at times. When they join small guilds who are recruitng; they often times quite the game as they are not getting the "guild activity or support", that they need. Not saying it is a small guilds fault, just stating some of the reasons why they leave; as i chat with lots of players.
If there was a way were two guilds could merge together, with the founders still being in Founder positions.
But allow the 2nd founder of the guild merging into the larger or main guild to retain ownership rights of that guilds gear. No one has to give up rights/ or ownership of gear they spent cash on. ( IE... Guild Founder of Main Guild has rights to his guilds gear, and any future guild gear, Founder who merged his guild to the other guild has owner ship of his old guilds gear, but the whole guild can use any guild gear). I feel this would help the game in several ways.
1. This would Foster more guilds to consider merger's. The end result is there would be more guild activity. Which leads to more players sticking to the game.
2. Better equiped guilds which will benefit the players more.
3. No one has to give up rights/ or ownership of gear they spent cash on.
4. Would be less Guilds in the server to maintain stats for, thus streamlining the servers.
5. Less Guilds to select from when Joining for new players so they might be in a better environemnt when they do join a guild.
6. Stronger guilds equals more players in the game.
I am sure there are more benefits to this if allowed.
2nd topic How can we stream line things to speed things up and help the game move faster.
Why can we not move dead guilds to a holding server? If no active players then move then. If one comes online move it back to active. As well, Guilds that are Dead should be removed from the Rankings.
This could even be done with players who have went inactive. It would give a more realistic view of were players/ and Guilds are ranked who are active.
3rd Topic It would be nice if there were more chest. With smaller "items Found", such as maybe a potion that has several levels, lvl 25, lvl 50, lvl 100, lvl 200 ( what ever level is found gives that many hit points to your stam. Only back up to your Max stam allowed.
4th Topic GVG changes. I think guilds that have 4 or 5 member teams that do nothing but gvg have huge advantages over Guilds that Level. I believe their are or can be changes made to level the playing field so to speak. Maybe make it were small guilds can only fight gvg versus a small guild. Or set a required number of active players in order to a certain number in order to fight guilds of certain sizes.
I know that all of these will not be looked at in the same light, and this is fine. Not looking for perfection, only ideas that we can discuss in order to help try to make the game better for everyone.
I shall do my thing and you can do yours. As I am not here to live up to your expectations, and you are not here to live up to mine. As we would both fall short.
