Account number dependencies for guild features

Post » Sat Mar 22, 2014 11:25 pm

Hi there,

this is no thread about goods or bads, but a real concern. You currently (still hope for a change) need 10 accounts for a guild bank and 50 accounts for a guild store. Well, what happens, if 2-3 three people don't sub the game or quit subbing after some time? Will a guild bank still be accessable, if the account numbers of the guild will decline? This will happen as with every MMO in the past.

What about a store? 53 accounts ran a trading metaguild and suddenly four people cease subbing the game. What happens to all the stuff in the store?

It would be nice if some dev could provide answers to this.

Thank you.

Thoughts? Did someone hear a dev say something about this?

I honestly don't know how this will work. Since character don't get deleted when someone un-subs, my guess is, your guild will keep that player as a member anyway. Just a guess though.

I did miss the reddit AMA. I would have liked to ask this question. We will have to wait and learn it the hard way...

The bank and store will still be there and you would be able to buy and pick items out of the bank/store, but you will not be able to deposit anything into the bank or put any item up for sale on the store.

You know OP you maybe genuine but this post you made does make you sound like a gold farmer looking at ways around the guild store function.

It sounds like a genuine concern from OP, it's also a perfectly reasonable question given how the system works. I'd like to think that if a player unsubs, their chars will still be saved and therefore will still be a guild member until such time as the guild removes them.

We're aiming to max-out guild membership in order to provide a huge market for people to buy and sell on. That should go quite a way towards avoiding this kind of situation.

Are you the paranoid type? Those gold farmers are all around you. Don't turn around... right behind you :blink:

Really... since features like guild banks and stores are gated, small guilds have to plan and organize. I was tempted to believe you, but your gold seller nonsense showed how much you were to believe. A real answer from a dev or someone who has tested this (guild bank? anyone?) would be appreciated.
