guild stores

[nick_chil19]

“With our megaserver system, with so many people playing at the same time we had to be very careful about the way we introduced shopping, so to speak, to the game. What we did is we broke it out into guilds, and one of the reasons we let people join five different guilds is because then they can have a guild store and the guild store is where you as a guild member can put your items up for sale or buy items or whatnot.

What we are hoping people will do is kind of start forming almost trade consortiums so to speak, where their guild will be like, okay we’re kind of known for armour goods, or we’re kind of known for weapon goods and that is what we do.

When people are looking for that our guild has a name and we think that will really improve, number one, getting people to join guilds, which is that social mechanic. Number two, having people really participate in the economy without being able to find everything all at once. And number three it should provide this almost organic reason for guilds to communicate with one another and we’re hoping that really starts to form a spider web of community as our players do it. Players just naturally find these patterns out, they are really smart and I’m looking forward to see how it goes.” (source)
