They wouldn't if their guild is "aged" aswell (gold/silver trim + luminescence = them even happyer).

What do you think ... maybe this should be turned into a poll or petition?

Still ... options should be discussed first.
Maybe someone has got other great ideas.

Having a year old guild is comparable to winning a GvG tourny?

I can get hold of a bunch of dead accounts with leadership of 2 year old guilds with ease...

sounds like a good idea, old guild I was in before making my own has been around for quite some time

Agreed with Skuld here, it's way to easy finding old accounts which own old guilds. I can even imagine people making a guild with an inactive account just to sell for ~100K a year later.
Keeping an active and stable community for over a year is very hard, won't disagree there, but it's too easy to 'abuse' the system.

I certainly wouldn't want a lumiscent cape though... way too ugly

It's not the same, but it is an accomplishement to keep a guild alive for years; hence the suggestion to differentiate the rewards

You bring up a good point there: people might just buy aged guilds from others.
I suggest the following solution: as guilds that bring in new leadership are not really "stable", I suggest to only reward guilds, that have a leader that has been part of the guild for a year or more. As for account trading, that's a violation of the user agreement terms.

What if it hasn't been alive for years? The system wouldn't differenciate.

Why should this sort of thing be given out any way? Nothing else gets anything like this.

The system would definitely be able to get info such as member trends, join/parts, player activity, growth/downsizing, etc just based on statistical records of players and cross referencing it with the guild, youd be able to paint a decent picture of what a living guild is vs a dead guild.

Just read the thread again (if you allready have).

Miniatures for aged characters, celebration hats, golden/silver cape trims for tournament finalists, ... "this" wouldn't be something that couldn't fit in the line.

Also, even if the system fails to do all that, how many guilds come back into life after being dead for a year? "Dead" does not mean low on member activity, but complete long-term inactivity including the leadership.

I would like this and mine is a beta guild created in Feb.19 2005.They could give us some sort of trim not the same as PvP guild have then maybe I won't have many leavers in it.

To summarize, these are the interesting suggestions that have been made so far:
  • emote: matador move with cape
  • emote: whip up cape like Dracula
  • cape: colored trim
  • cape: transparant
  • cape: luminescent

another idea i got from another forum is a npc, kinda like a mini pet but not mini, that wanders around your hall. there could be many like koss, or rurik, or even dwayana or the other gods. i think that would be cool, and would not bother the gvg guilds at all.

nice idea, seems like there may be difficulties in implementation though.

NPC may be a good idea though. I suppose there could be a requirment of the same officers/leader in the guild over a given time, say 4 officers one leader being there the whole time.
