Will there be a set limit?

Is it possible to get a drop to create a new one?

Guild banks?

Guild level? (if so, what will it do?)

Initially, when Open Beta begins (not Closed Beta) there will be three guilds handed out; these will be the only three handed out. They will be handed out based on something from Closed Beta; not sure exactly what. Perhaps the top people from Closed Beta will get a guild. These three guilds are basically to get the guilds going so that there are some right off the bat.

It will not be possible to get a DROP to create a new one; but there will be a way to create a new one; this is the basics of it...

There will be a semi-high level quest; probably level 250-300 that will require teamwork; like you literally cannot do it by yourself.

The quest will give you an item that you must bring to me and ME only; since only I will have the power to make guilds anyways.

Now, you cannot just give me the item; tell me the name; and it's made; there are other requirements and limitations.

I must approve of the name; I will not allow anything I feel is dumb or stupid; like Bunny Lovers; Electric Jelly Squad; Indy Rockers or anything that's dumb, stupid, retarded or just doesn't fit into the game. You must also have a certain amount of people that want to join; most likely 10 people; and they must all be at least a certain level; I am thinking probably like level 150; so you can't just have some friends etc make a bunch of level 1 characters just so you can get the guild founded; they have to be real legit players. You must also have a description of the guild, like what your goal is, basically what your guild is about. And obviously you have to pick which faction your guild will be in.

There may or may not be a set limit; but if there is it will be something large like 5 per faction; remember that guilds are more like armies under each faction.

A guild bank would be something Bradyok would have to code into the engine; of course people can still use characters for banks as well as the built in individual character banks. I think he said he was going to recode the guild system later on so that is something he will probably do.

I am guessing guild level could be scripted someway; DD would have to do it; but I don't know what it would do; perhaps allow a certain amount of people and stuff. What I really want is a better built in guild system so I can do things like limit how many of a certain rank can be in a guild and stuff.
